This week I made some fun mood boards with AI. In my procedure, this is an essential part. But I don’t plan to use this story as my final project, it’s a long process and takes a lot of time to make, it can’t be done in a few months.

I merged all the shots so far and made some optimizations, and I realized that the whole story might be bigger and bigger, which didn’t fit my production cycle. . .

This week I added the ending part. Let the structure of the story return to the original, forming a closed story loop. The protagonist falls into a different world, and is then awakened. . . When the protagonist falls into another world, he finds himself in a mysterious and strange place. This other world is full of magic, fantastic creatures and breathtaking scenery. The protagonist feels confused and helpless, but he is also full of curiosity and courage, and decides to explore this strange world.

During the expedition, the protagonist meets a wise and kind guide who helps the protagonist adapt to the rules and environment of this different world. The guide tells the protagonist that he was summoned to this world for a reason, and guides him to a distant place where there is a mysterious altar, and only through the altar can he return to the original world.

This week I added the following plot. This section is the turning point of the story. The protagonist starts to take risks, which is the adventure structure of the 8 major structures of the story. I added a lot of suspense and horror camera movements to increase the atmosphere. Make the movie more immersive.

In this episode, I want to use some special shots or montage editing techniques to make the protagonist recall and find something is wrong, and then promote the development and climax of the story. And I want to do some suspenseful plots to make the whole story more exciting and rich

The concept of city plus monster attracts me. For example, giants catching children at night may be a symbol of fighting against long-standing fear. In such legends, the giant usually represents an evil force, while the children symbolize innocence and purity.

The origin of the story may have come from ancient myth or folklore, and it evolved over thousands of years into the form we know today.

So I’m going to make these monsters huge with child-abducting looks and a huge size

I also referred to movies with similar elements such as “Attack on Titan”, “The Giant Catcher”, “Jack and the Beanstalk”, “Shrek” and “King Kong”.

In this week, I supplemented the shots that connect the story, and added the feeling of holding the camera in some shots to make the whole picture more vivid.

At the beginning of the story, a girl is sitting on the ground. Countless hands (monsters she knows) are stretched out in the dark environment. These hands are all rushing towards her. At the critical moment, the girl wakes up in the next second. She is glad that the previous encounter was a dream. , She can always dream about the content just now. She went to the bathroom to wash up, but the next second a whisperer said something in her ear, which frightened her. She thought everything was caused by being too tired recently I had a hallucination, so I went out without thinking much.

Because George said that I couldn’t directly use or borrow existing film shots or plot relationships, I started my project again.

As I am particularly fond of Chihiro, I will draw on the element of Shinto for the thematic tone of the story.

As a creator, I have always been fascinated by exploring the human inner world and the adventurous experiences of personal growth. The movie “Spirited Away,” in its unique way, portrayed the story of an ordinary girl’s journey of maturation in a magical and unfamiliar world, deeply touching my heart. This story has provided me with boundless imaginative space and inspiration, igniting my desire to create similar tales.

I aim to delve into the themes of human emotions and personal growth through crafting a similar narrative, enabling the audience to embark on a fantastical and profound journey alongside the story’s characters. Such a story can allow viewers to experience thrilling adventures while contemplating the importance of self-awareness, perseverance, and courage. I firmly believe that such stories can provide enlightenment and emotional resonance, prompting individuals to contemplate their own inner growth and the exploration of the unknown.

I am an avid fan of Stephen Chow’s movies. And I am extremely interested in martial arts action movies. I greatly enjoy the sense of impact that martial arts scenes bring to me. So I decided to borrow the Wudai elements from kung fu movies. Some amazing kung fu duels became an important part of my idea. The problem that tutor pointed out to me with my idea was that I was borrowing too many elements and losing some of my own ideas. He suggested that I try to explain the causes of the fights between the characters. I combined these with scenes from the Matrix movie, and with the help of my mentor I extended the story line.
