Process Journal

Week 1:
During today’s lesson we were reintroduced into the art of the storytelling and phantasmagoria. We got into groups of both music and art students. In my group, I am with Carolyn, Nikita, and Abdullah. We shared some our horror stories and ballads from English which we were to use in our upcoming project.

Week 2:
We are starting to create a small power point talking about some of our ideas for our upcoming project and skills from other classes such as music and English, which can be incorporated into our project.Some of our ideas include villains being black and white and good people being colorful, the heroes coming from stage left and villains coming from stage right.
New girl, Sophia, got added to our group and she added some ideas to our presentation. We just continued to finish our presentation this lesson.

Week 3:
This week we were presenting our presentations to the other groups. We were giving a double sided sheet with the criteria at the top and we had to give the groups a grade and feedback against the criteria. We marked them against criterias A, B, and C. Criteria D would be marked by the teachers for the students blog posts.

Week 4:
After presenting, we started creating the actual project which is a mix between puppetry and phantasmagoria. We decided a story which on a horror story following a girl named Noah. We decided on what should be puppets (Ghost and Noah) and what would be phantasmagoria (setting).
Was absent on Thursday but group changed story to something else that is underdeveloped.

Week 6: 

Finished drawing all characters. Spent most of our time in the music room working with the rest of the group. Listened to some of their music and what they plan on doing with music. Music TBA:

Week 7: 

Over the weekend I tried to make the puppets but I forgot the drawings at school so I only did a few. Will finish the rest in break. Only have mom and Blake to do. Mom doesn't have many moving parts so she will be easy to finish.  5-10 minutes. Started on Phantasmagoria by researching images such as...

I simply searched scenery, Tim Burton. Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors as all his stuff are very irry. It's creepy but not full blown scary.

Thursday Mourning: Finished all puppets last night. Looked into music and decided on some I should and shouldn't use. Played around with picture editor with one of the pictures I am definitely using.
