    Hi Tia... okay, so I'm a bit confused now. Where has your 'little monster' gone? Your script is essentially a literal description of your diabetes and I'm reading it and looking for what is 'for animation' about it - and I'm struggling. This looks to be the same script pretty much as you had when we first talked about it? I can't even see when/where/how your 'Little Monster' might even feature in this version? I've given these two animatics by Ruth to a number of your classmates because they are the easiest way I have of showing the difference between literalism and directing for animation...

    1) First watch Ruth Cann's first animatic all the way through - and then watch the second version, which she produced after Ruth was encouraged to stop representing everything so literally....

    Before you go any further - before you design any more bits and bobs you need to show people what you're seeing in your head in terms of bringing your story from 'script to screen'. You need to commit to an animatic now before you give anything else your time because it will help us all understand your vision for this film.

Figure 1. Kill Bill Movie Poster (2003) Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, Kill Bill (2003) is a crime and mystery film that is iconic for it's postmodern film design due to the use of many different film types combining together to create the film.  1.  Intertextuality  -  Kill Bill  is created using film conventions from many different films. This is shown through Tarantino's use of Japanese style fighting scenes and mystery. Figure 2. Fight scene  2.  Non-linear narrative  - There is a strong use of non-linear narrative through the film, meaning that the film's story line and narrative are disjointed. This is shown in the film with flash backs, for example, when 'The Bride' (Uma Thurman) see's Vernita Green (Vivica. A. Fox) and the siren sounds. Figure 3. Flash back  3.  Challenging gender stereotypes  - The main character in action films are usually muscular men with a woman as either their lo...
