I am, at my core, a fairy tale adaptationist: I primarily write adaptations of fairy tales. While myths are slightly different in form to fairy tales, these two forms of oral storytelling are related to each other. For my final project, I decided to take inspiration from mythology to create my short story.
“Love and Loss Between the Moon and the Sun”
This post is how you can find my story, “Love and Loss Between the Moon and the Sun.” I really like this story! It details how the personifications of the moon and the sun fall in love. However, that love is not meant to be, and the two must come to terms with how love is not all a person needs to have a good relationship.
The Components of the Story
My story has multiple different media that I created to enhance the written narrative. This post details my process in creating these media, as well as showing a look at the raw materials that I used before editing.
My eight additional media were inspired by eight different prompts:
- Beautifying World (2 stars)
- Two Mirror Image Spread (4 stars)
- Barcode Transformation (3.5 stars)
- You’re Invited! (3 stars)
- Tell a Story (3 stars)
- Sound effects (2 stars)
- Animatic Joy (5 stars)
- Arts and Crafts Tutorial (3.5 stars)
Final Reflection
As the final project, my reflection, which you can find here, looks at both my thoughts on this final project as well as the class as a whole. I like how my final project turned out, even if it was not perfect and even if some of the media were harder to make than I expected. Overall, however, I really enjoyed this class, and I learned a lot from taking it. I would take this class again, even if I would pace myself slightly differently.
Conclusion
I am very glad that I was able to take this class, and I am very happy with my final project. I will take the media that I created here and use it or remake it later. However, all good things come to an end, and I look forward to taking the skills that I learned in this class out into the world.
What was your favorite project that I created this semester? Why? Did you do any of these projects yourself, and which was the favorite you created? Please share your thoughts in the comments!
