Your second storyboard and report will focus on a myth, story, film, etc, of your choosing that we have not covered together. In addition to the storyboard component this second assignment also requires a short (2-3 page) written report analyzing the myth according to one of our theorists.
Storyboard Requirements: Whatever format you use to create your storyboard, you need to be able to attach it in the dropbox provided (even a photograph is acceptable here). Please note: Artistic ability is not being tested here. What is being assessed is your engagement with these stories, your representation of their key characters and events. In representing these scenes, you will be evaluated on your attention to the following:
Context: Because our myths come from various times and places, you will need to "set the stage" for your myth visually by providing a backdrop that communicates something about the context of your myth: what time of day/ year is it? Where in the world is it? Is it indoors? Outdoors? Etc.
Details: Including any small details from the myth in your storyboard will help in "fleshing it out." Some important details to integrate might be: clothing, objects, props, dialogue, background setting, etc.
Representation of key characters and events: Paying attention to details about the representation of the characters, Gods, humans, etc. in a way that reflects the story as a whole.
Written Components Requirements: For your second storyboard assignment, you will accompany your visual component with a written report
-Your report should be 2-3 pages, times new roman font, double spaced
-You will need to cite your sources (the lecture and reading on your theorist, as well as the sources on your myth), using Chicago Author-Date format. I have provided quick guides on each of these for you on our course page.
Your report should include:
A Title Page: with your name, the course name and number, and an ORIGINAL title that reflects your analysis (i.e.: not Storyboard 2)
An introduction, giving a few details or a bit of info. on your myth (when/ where does it come from, etc. Avoid a summary here!), and a thesis statement that lets the reader know the scope of your paper (which theorist you will use to analyze it). Please feel free to use this format: In this report, I will analyze the myth of _________ according to the theory provided by ______________
A paragraph giving a brief synopsis of the plot of your myth- please avoid long recaps here, just the details required to help me know a bit about it, and especially the points that are pertinent for your analysis.
A paragraph in which you summarize the theorist you are engaging- citing both the lecture and the reading from our module.
An analysis of the myth using the theory: This entails taking key aspects of the theory and relating them back to key characters, events, etc. in the myth itself. In other words, based on the key details of the myth, how would this theorist interpret it?
A conclusion: Summarize your analysis in a few sentences and make some personal responses- did applying this theory reveal some interesting or new things about this myth? Are there aspects of this myth that challenge the theory? What are the implications of this analysis: for ethics, for the environment, for relationships between men and women, people and animals, etc.
A bibliography: This should include the reading and lecture on your theorist, as well as the myth you are engaging.
