During this time we are all at home, it gives us a chance to spend time inside doing things we regularly don’t often give enough time to. Feeling inspired by Mr.Reid’s Music Journey I wanted to give myself the challenge too to learn something new. Like Mr.Reid I want to learn something that I can use in the future. Thinking about my interests I’ve decided to combine a few ideas together into one big project.

I’m going to create a web series. Throughout I’m going to learn about filming, editing, special effects, script writing and I want you to join and help me along the way.

I have taken home a variety of supplies from school to enable me to bring our wild and wacky stories to life, yes I did say OUR! It wont just be me who will be doing the work.  Together we will work together and learn about creative writing, characterisation, graphic design and many more.

So Lets find out about the show…

A synopsis:

Imagine the Magic Key from Biff, Chip and Kipper, mixed with Jumanji, add a dash of bedtime stories, all told through story cubes and you will have my idea of the Web Show.

A boy receives a strange package in the mail, it has an oddly written letter and a bag full of cubes. The cubes all have a variety of different symbols on them, they are Story Cubes. When he rolls the cubes, the symbols that are on top will become the story that he is sucked into (just like the magic key stories). The cubes will lead him on an eventful adventure until he returns home. Each adventure will be different as you never know how the cubes will roll.

6 cubes will be rolled each time, an episode will cover the first three cubes. It will be your task to look at the remaining cubes and write the second half of the story. It will be up to me to choose one or combine a few ideas and film the next episode. These stories can be as imaginative as possible as it will be up to me to figure out how to bring the story to life learning new digital skills along the way while staying at home.

The Web-Show will be called ‘CUBES’

Your first task for over the Easter Holidays is to design for me the logo of the show, something that I will use in the title sequence.

Your Success Criteria

• It must include the name ‘Cubes’
• It must relate to the synopsis you have been given
• It must be colourful
• It must be readable and viewed easily at a glance

If you can think of a tagline for the show, that would also be great to add to your design. Or you can try to create an animation for the title sequence on Scratch Jr.

Here is a picture of the cubes that will be found in the package.

Your logo designs can be created in any art medium you want. Please email me your designs on my glow to gw18mutchconnor. I look forward to viewing your designs after the holidays.
