I wasn't definite on a direction so I gave the instructor, Jenny Tondora, several ideas to play with. She responded that she liked the idea of the book/perhaps droid version of an artistic word book on the concept of Zamiatin's We, a ground-breaking distopian novel written in the 1920s.
I've long thought this would be a good novel to make into a Motion Picture, but the pitch I need is to develop a storyboard to go along with a screenplay for it. With this assignment, I don't have time to develop the whole storyboard, but perhaps instead come up with the pitch, the narrative preface to what the work is about.
First step: finding my copy of We I received two years ago at Christmas from Quincy (One book in a house full of books is sometimes time-consuming and stressful).
Second step: installing photoshop/tablet software on the laptop.
Third step: thinking about the kinds of layout I'd like to do.
