Pobby & Dingan Creative Project Proposal - Film

   It is always challenging when every time we have a project due after we finishing a book. But this time, the project is not an essay as usual, but a creative project. This time, the project seems more interesting to me.

   Firstly, Johnny, Daniel and I become a group. To do a group project means everyone can work together, and more interesting. Also, it means our works should be better than the project that was done by one person. Because of this, we will spend a lot of time in this project and make it as perfect as we can.

   Secondly, we decide to do a film about our book Pobby and Dingan. We have seen the movie Opal Dream which based on the same story at class, so we know how to appearance those characters in the book. We decide to take a 5-10 minutes video about some scenes from the book. One of the scenes will be an argument between Ashmol’s mother and father, the other one will be Ashmol and his mother’s discussion about photos at Chapter 6. If there are not 5-10 minutes, we will add scenes that about Pobby and Dingan’s funeral. Daniel will be Rex, the father; Johnny will be Anne, the mother; and I will be Ashmol.

   Lastly, all of us agree that we are going to change the story a little bit. We will change the story with our understanding of the book. We will fix some parts of the story in order to make it fits our time. For example, use iPad’s photo instead of a real photo. We will connect the arguments scene with the photo scene. Moreover, we will act out the characters. This will be a perfect preview of our Literature & Performance class at the next term.

   This creative project is very interesting to me. I think it is not extremely hard to do, but it still requires time. I hope we can learn about performance and teamwork in this project. Also, we are going to use iMovie to edit the story, we will learn about how to use software to edit video. But I think when I work with Johnny and Daniel, I will never get bored. I believe it will be a good project.
