REFLECTION
 

I clarified the structure of the story by drawing the timeline, and created a brand new story backwards from the ending! (I am very excited to see my story become more interesting!)

In the first and second weeks of my study, I deeply understood the meaning and purpose of the story. So I redesigned a new story according to the roles, locations and events. And through this week's study, reverse design a story from the end point. And an idea of what if. I made a different attempt at the end of the story.
If the apprentice is also a traverser?
What if the master after the journey also knows that the apprentice came back from the journey?

The same work is <Tenet> produced by Nolan. The narrative method of this film starts with the ending and the beginning as the end. Let the audience enter a charming journey of thought.In particular, he has a good grasp of temporal mutability, spatial and abstraction! With breakthrough thinking ability and reversal of the rules of motion and the overlap of multiple time and space in a single space, the film develops in an unimaginable direction.

Taking the story as the ending, reversely creates a narrative line from the apprentice to the traverser. This possibility is exciting to me! I try to supplement my story with the special abilities of animation: abstraction, spatial and temporal mutability, so that people at different times can appear in the same space, so that the abstract view of time in my heart can be expressed, and my emphasis on time Set sexual understanding.



STORY
Main roles: Master (male) and apprentice (female)

Anime Act 1:
The daily practice and life of the master and the apprentice (explaining the emotions of the two people and the master’s famous move "sword thrust")


Anime Act 2:
The master and the apprentice went to the sect to burn incense and pray together. The apprentice spoke out his wish aloud, "In the future, my swordsmanship will be better than the master!"

Animation Act 3:
On the day after burning the incense, the apprentice entered the Master’s room and saw someone trying to assassinate Master, but the assassin’s sudden hesitation allowed Master to counterattack successfully, and the assassin fled.

Anime Act 4:
When the master knew that his swordsmanship might be surpassed, he began to stay in the room all day. The apprentice was very worried, but every night, the pale-faced master would wake up the apprentice again and teach the apprentice moves. But the master also only teaches apprentices one trick, which is to break the "sword thrust".

Animation Act 5 (Climax Point):
One night the master suddenly told the apprentice to leave the sect the next morning (do one thing?), and the apprentice did so. When the apprentice returned to the sect in the afternoon, she found that a man covered in blood had stabbed her master to the ground. The maddened man used a "sword thrust" to stab the apprentice, and the apprentice shot down his sword with the technique she had practiced all the time, and assassinated the man covered in blood.

Animation Act 6:
The apprentice ran to the master, but the master only slowly crawled towards the assassin. The master put his hand on the assassin's face, tearing the assassin's face with the last bit of strength. (The lens slowly turns black)

The final scene of anime

The scene of Master burning incense at the time, slowly emerged like smoke from the incense. The wish in Master's heart was also spoken out: Life is too short, and I wish to have another chance to experience life.There may be more details, and through these details I will let the audience see the hidden stories about Master.
1. After knowing that Master was killed, he traveled through time and space and returned to the night when he first burned incense with his apprentice.
2. And the one who assassinated the Master that night was himself who had traveled back.
3. The reason why Master wanted to kill himself was that after being assassinated, he couldn't accept that there were people in the world who were better than himself. He practiced so much that he lost control of himself and wanted to slaughter the entire sect. The master who went back to the past tried to stop himself, but failed.
4. The master who returned to the past trains his apprentice every night.
5. At the end of the story, the crazy master will be killed by the apprentice. But the apprentice didn't know that he killed the master.
