Master Of Animation, Games & Interactivity

This week's course learned 'plot and the shapes of stories'. We studied how the plot of the story gradually and completely promoted the development of the story. The story can help the characters to enrich the completion of the characters, and the plot is an important tool to promote the story.

This week, we recorded the ending of the story on Wiki and worked with our peers to create a complete story that can achieve this ending. We use the roles and results in the ending to constantly associate and supplement the relationship and interaction between people and things.

I used the wiki 'when teams fall, they think they are raindrops.'

By exploring the end of the story, I know how the story ends. Then I need to add more plots to my characters,including scenarios and situations. At first, I imagined a girl crying in the rain because of family changes. Her tears didn't know what she was. At the moment of the fusion of rain and tears, rain seems to feel salty and tears feel like rain. Then I hope to add some plots and make a turning point in the plot. I focus on why tears feel like rain, so I give this character a timid and afraid of death character, let it struggle before falling, accept its own destiny after falling, and deceive itself that it is rain.

In Chuck Jones( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHpXle4NqWI )During the eight minute wonderful talk, through his experience, he said: the simpler the desire, the more vivid the character is. He also said that only plots that conform to human logic can make people feel humorous.

Based on these Chuck Jones conclusions, I changed my storyline. I continue to weaken the existence of the supporting girl in the story and give this tear to human character and destiny. I add a turning point to the story, because I think according to human logic, if he is willing to accept fate,  he need an important reason. I choose love for this reason.

This is my story:

A tear, when it drips, thinks it's rain

On a rainy day, the child with a schoolbag on her back walked slowly in the rain. She stopped under the canopy on the street and felt very sad for the letter wet by the rain in her hand. Suddenly her eyes were filled with tears.

I was a tear, squeezed out of her eyes and hung precariously on her eyelids. I slid slowly down. It's really high below. My consciousness tells me it's dangerous. I try to hold her eyelashes and eyes, hoping I won't fall again. It's too dangerous! I warned myself to hold on and not fall into the abyss. I suddenly fell down quickly for a while. I reached the highest part of my cheek. I grabbed her face crazily. I knew I would have a hard time. Suddenly, another tear melted into me. My weight-bearing body made my arms feel more tired. I changed from two hands to one, and I insisted on hanging my heavy body. However, I suddenly began to decline rapidly. I tried to grab the last straw. I grabbed her mandible. I breathed a sigh of relief and my sight became blurred.

The girl began to walk. She went into the rain.

Suddenly a drop of rain caught my hand. I think it's love. She's so beautiful. I fell quickly with her and we smiled at each other. At that moment, I firmly believed that I was a drop of rain. Because of her, I was no longer afraid of height.

She and I fell down bravely.

With a slap, we smashed to the ground.

I want to express that love can make people brave, find their destination, or destroy them. It's important to be rational in love.
