In writing the story (by herself) she needs to consider story-plot,
characterisation, establishment of character, the narrative itself.
It has been suggested that by July 15:
1. She writes the entire story in Hindi.
2. Establish the central character/characters.
3. Work out plot - the sequence of events that drive the story.
4. Work with the idea of rising action - climax - denouement.
As an example, the panel took her weak story and tried to show her how to
move forward with it.
Establishing plot:
1. The child is sold off
2. She suffers as a servant.
3. Now introduce a critical incident - what can it be?
4. Which leads to her running away
Does she run away only in imagination? Is she rescued? Does she really
manage to escape and run away? Where to?
To get to a good plot, she also has to go deeper into the subject of child
enslavement/labor, etc. Only in this way can the film become emotive and
touch others and waken them to the plight of such children.
There is a second route for coming up with her story which was suggested:
Collect 10-15 stories from the newspapers/magazines about children who
have been enslaved/brought into labor and their treatment by bad masters.
You can construct your own story and plot using elements from these
newspaper stories.
Or you can take one of these "real-life" stories and see how it can be
taken into animation form.
By Saturday night (July 10), research and email the panel scanned copies
of your chosen newspaper stories. Try to discuss on email or in person a
story that she has been gripped by most and how it can be treated or
developed with her own touch.
By July 15, she must come up with her final story - ONE STORY.
The process of taught diploma can be taken up from that point onwards.
