Jabriel's Self Critique

Jabriel’s Self Critique
“Bwakhaaa!”
·      My first thoughts when creating this story was too emphasis life and how obstacles appear in your life.  Life is Random!  I initially did a story involving a little girl losing her parents to a catastrophic bombing in Africa, and dealing with other uncanny events.  Then I decided to create a comedy aligning with the discomforts of lose, and unseen obstacles.  I decided to do “Bwakhaaa!” instead because it seemed more commercial, comedic and simplified idea people could relate to within a short time limit showing.
·      The point of this story is to bring laughter and joy to the people while addressing the unyielding love one can have for someone.  My main protagonist, Robin, is a white chicken that fights through anything to get her baby chicken back.  This reminds me of my mother and how she gone through many things to nurture and protect.
·      When my audience sees my film I want to feel warm and happy inside.  When they see Robin reunite with her egg, I want my audience to feel happy and relieved for her.  Also want my audience to laugh it up.  One of my main objectives is to get a laugh out the audience.  Creating a world of animals with human traits living a wacky life.
·      The story is about a big eyed white chicken that conceives this golden trimmed egg.  Her farmer abducts her egg, and she searches far and wide for it.  She meets singing flowers, dodge flying daggers, a rap star and battle babay kids while fighting to reunite with her precious.
·      The film is a comedy and the setting is in the country.  The barn is on a modern day farm and resides by the outskirts of a city.
·      The momentum is fast with rapid random incursion of events taking place during Robin journey to find her egg.  The beginning, middle and end meshes well together because pace is rhythmic.  Never really has a dull moment because action is always happening onscreen.  Half of the scenes are fields which I intend to show landscapes in depth. 

·      I plan to obtain more reference and continue figure drawing to continue growth of drawing figures.  Practice drawing animals, especially chickens for this film.  Watch videos of storms to acquire reference of how clouds and sky function during the storm.
