Animated Narratives-Week#12- review

By Shika X

In response to the final week 12, I create a storyboard for the premise: What if people who are not overweight need to pay taxes.

synopsis: A man goes to fattening club and what people pay for the way they escape from taxes. 

-Advertisement of this fattening club is everywhere, the protagonist is attracted by the advertisement.

-He also dreams of gaining benefits and honours after gaining weight.

-He started to pay for it continually.

-Vanity and catching up make him spend more and more.

-In his almost decadent life, the results of his fattening are still not obvious.

-Through the sharing of successful people, he bought an expensive product.

-  He gained weight successfully and won the honour of tax exemption. Ironically, in order to maintain his weight, he is still paying for the fattening products.

I have made many close-ups on the character's mobile phone, hoping to use this medium to show the protagonist's excessive consumption.

I have examed the work‘Mobile World’ by Steve Cutt whose works I really like. In 'Mobile World' everyone addicted to the cell phone. His works always ironically(Link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUW1wjlKvmY). By examing it, I find it interesting to display content outside the phone screen. So in my storyboard. I always show Loss of Money outside the phone screen.
