Storyboard

Story board for owl story
I have created a story board based on an owl who is glow in the dark. The story deals with the loss of who you are due to a trait that is not deemed normal. The owl in the story unknown to the reader will be injected with the glow in the dark gene for scientific purposes. When allowed back into the wild, the owl struggles to continue living as he way before. His glow gives him away when he tries to use his predatory instinct. Through trying to adapt his lifestyle and accept his new self he creates a companionship who helps him through the hard time. I have also attached the rough story below the storyboard.



Night Light:

       1. My name is Oscar

           I used to be a great Hunter.
  1. There used to be nothing that could escape my grasp.
  2. 3) And now… Now I am hungry… For the first time in my life I am unable to catch my dinner.

    Oh, And I am Flourescent green.
  3. I awoke one night as a warning to all my prey.
  4. Every park I would go to would light up from my presence.
    And every creature in the park would know of my presence.
  5. At first I used to try to copy other predators to learn their hunting habits…
  6. I tried the stealth approach…
    This did not work…
    I tried hiding and waiting for my prey…
    This did not work…
  7. And I even went as low to try to steal other predator’s food out of desperation…
    This did not work either…
  8. At that time I was living off what was left behind…

  9. Later on that evening I saw another creature that lit up the night…
    It intrigued me and I went to investigate…
  10. Her name was Gertrude and it turns out she was a glowworm, even though she looked nothing of a worm to me.
  11. I asked how she hunted with a glow giving her away.

    And it turns out she hunted slow creatures like slugs.
    Why don’t you try?”
  12. Sure enough I eyed up a slug and caught it. It was nothing that could suffice my appetite without catching 20 or thirty though.
  13. "Can you help me catch some larger prey" I asked?
    "Of course" said the glowworm.
  14. We started collecting twigs.
    And weaving them together.
    And assembling
  15. (Image of giant trap)
  16. Oscar and Gertrude lower the trap over some prey
  17. Success, we trap some prey
  18. We share the food.
  19. Our partnership here on continues
  20. Not only do I gain a social companion

    But I  learn to live with and adapt to my glow.
    Even if it does follow unconventional ways of hunting.
