Week 05★
Saturday, 21 May 2011 |11:01
For this week, we further discussed the bio-data of all the characters involved in our animation and they are namely - the female & male figurines, shopkeeper of the cuckoo clock shop, a mother who is going to purchase one of the cuckoo clocks and last but not the least, the little girl.
We listed out the setup necessary for the whole story to begin.
Main characters || Location - Country: Germany, in the 21st Century || Genre: Romance, Comedy || Supporting Characters
The purpose for us to list out all these points once again is to re-confirm our settings to ensure and somewhat finalize our story to enable it to flow smoothly; as we got the tendency to change repeatedly. The setup of the prime scenes will be in the evening.
Below are the ideas that we have thought up for scenes we can begin with or have them in between:
- Dialogue to be in the story;
- Start scene with the overview of shop with wall of cuckoo clocks; followed by showing the figurines;
- Shop-owner which is the old man doing work at his working table;
- Old man hanging clock;
- Cuckoo clocks coming alive;
- Little girl who has interest in clocks, stands outside the shop, staring at the cuckoo clocks inside;
- Little girl & her mother walking pass the shop in the night.
Set up of Story
The bio-data of all the characters present inside the story~
Old man★
Name || Alberto
Decision-making || The first thing that came to our mind for the shop-owner was an old man whom is kind looking, always smiling at his customers. He especially loves cuckoo clocks as he has a passion for them. He is the one who make both the male and female figurines.
Male figurine★
Name || Aden
Decision-making || Since the male figurine's personality is somewhat shy, we thought we should give him a name that represents the exact meaning thus, we tried to come up with different names for him, but finalized with Aden. He is interested in Hazel [below].
Female figurine★
Name || Hazel
Decision-making || Initially, we wanted to associate her name to that of a flower, however, she is somewhat impulsive and strong-headed, thus we gave that idea up since flowers tend to represent the meaning of gentleness and sweetness.
Woman★
Name || Elizabeth
Decision-making || First picture inside our mind was a lady who dotes her daughter a lot since she is her only child; with a happy go lucky personality.
Little Girl★
Name || Elize
Decision-making || Six-year-old curious little girl who likes to patronize the cuckoo clock shop often due to her liking of cuckoo clocks. She tends to wander around by herself, since she is always filled with curiosity over every single thing.
