LECTURES

Week 7-8

Act 1: Introduction

Lisa a 10-year-old girl, living with her family in a village in Indonesia. The family consist of her dad, mom, and her 2 younger twin brother and sister. Life for them is always a struggle. The dad everyday does to work to put foods on the table. And even mom always goes with her younger brother selling snacks and foods on streets. Life for them is tough, but Lisa can go to school from the government’s program of free education. She is grateful with her supporting and loving family. But one thing that she does not like about her family and her is their feet. Their big, big feet that she inherit from both her mom and dad. At first she does not realize it was weird. But after attending school, she saw her friends that has a smaller feet that her, and teachers that has smaller feet from her parents. She began to feel insecure about it.

Act 2: Rising Action

7 o’clock, she packed her bags and got ready to school. It is a new school for her as her family moved to a new village not long ago. In school, she is quite shy and a loner because she is afraid she will be bullied. Not good with other people, especially with kids her age. But kids don’t seem to like her anyways. She always finds it hard to make a friend in school. It is very rough in school. Kids shouts at her, calling her. They hated her. Or so she thought.

Act 3: Climax and Resolution

One day, a kid sits next to her, he started a conversation with her! He simply asked her “Hi!” Shocking! Unfortunately, her shyness and insecurity block her from speaking to him, she can’t even bat an eye contact with him. What a mess! She is trying to fight her inner demon. “Why is he talking to me?”; “He just wanted to mock me right? No matter what I do?”; “NO! Maybe he wanted to tell us something important...”; “Will the other kids tease me?”; “But, this is the chance for me to have a friend!”. She is struggling to overcome her fear. He then answered, “I just wanted to tell you that last semester we were given a homework to do! I just want to tell you that if you need any help, we will help you!” as he pointed to the opened notebook on his table.

Then and right then, she realized that all this time, they were being playful to her and curious about her, as she is always sooo silent and shy towards the other kids. They don’t care about how she looks or what she wears, they only wanted to be friends. They were trying to be more friendly to her, but she got the wrong message because of her own insecurity. She then finally defeated her enemy in herself and spoke for the first time. “Yes.”

FEEDBACK

My story went through some processes and revision. As for my first and second story lacks fighting scene. 

REFLECTION

For this webtoon project, I struggle a lot on making the story. As I realized that story line is important in any comic or graphic novel. The climax of the story and all the gradual build up is as important as the ending of the story. I have not fully grasp on how to make a good story, as I am not good at writing stories and such. I hope in the future I can study more on this. I am glad that this project actually introduces me on writing and creating a comic. It makes me practice on my writing story skill and also drawing on Adobe Illustrator. I think this task improves my skill on creating scenes and scene transition logic.
