Senior Animation Project Proposal

Summary

I want to produce a 3 minute animate short called See about a high school girl and an elemnetary school girl. The high school girl isolates herself from peopel because she has a super power of seeing the days of other’s death when she does not wear glasses. The elementary girl accidently breaks into her life and becomes a friend of her.

Synopsis

By showing how these two girls building up their friendship, the high school girl’s view and ideology will be gradually changed emotionally and psychologically.

Description

Generaly speaking, my project will be in a sad tone but it is encouraging. The introduction of the short will be showing the isolated high school protagonist. By using some daily-life-scene, I wish to strike a chrod between audience and the character. This part will be in a sad mood which also indicates her emotion. When the little girl appears, the story gets vivid and naughty which also reflects the little girl’s characteristics. When these two girls become friends, the story will reach its warmest plot which they treat each other as real friend. At the point, the high school girl has been changed already because of their friendship. The climax of the story will be that the high school sees the little girl’s days left. She tries to not face the issue as she did before, however, the friendship is real and its influence to her is huge. She finally saves the little girl without any fear. I expect my story could be touching and make audience thinking. Even thought it will be entertained plots in the story I still suggest that the audience should be at least 13 because the story contains death, and super power which I do not want to give nagetive influence to young audience.

Visual Treatment

I will be working in 2D animation with the most tranditional tools: pencils and paper. The first part of my animation will be in grayscale and the second half in color. Images will be colored digitally.

Sound Treatment

I plan to use narrative music and effect sounds in my short and without speech. The music will be monotonous in the first part with only few musical notes. As the plot turns vivd, the music will get vivid too. The last part of the short is intensive but deciso. Sound effects will be used to fill the gaps between musics and also make audience engaged.
