The first exercise in the course was to tell a well-known story in five pictures. I chose Cinderella. Things I noticed when doing the exercise:
1) Breaking it down into five images meant that each image had to say quite a lot. Especially about relationships. I made notes on what were the key aspects of the story that needed to go in. There were aspects that I wanted to put in, but it made the pictures too cramped, so I had to leave them out.
2) Because my drawings are so atrocious, I had to find some way to maintain consistency across the five images. So, Cinderella wore a red dress in every scene.
3) The angle that I chose for the pictures is the same in each one. I only realised this afterwards.
