script

Currently working on writing ‘scripts’ for the audio portions of this! As well as writing out what each document is going to say. This, however, is a slightly more detailed version of my storyboard (with a few more/slightly clearer details). Also at the bottom you will find a small section about the characters that appear in this story. Still fleshing it out, but mainly there as a point of reference for everyone in case I haven’t explained it much before!

All of this is subject to change.

Character List/Bios:
Investigator (I don’t know what else to call them)
-Unknown person
-Found a box of all this stuff at a yard sale
-Decided to compile it into a book, because they found it interesting
-Uses AR to present information (recordings) from Illy’s actual Diary (the tape recorder)

Illy:
-Main character
-This is her “diary”, except not actually hers, hers is the tape recorder
-Is about 17 years old
-Loves to draw, especially portraits
-Sees people as made up of crazy colors and patterns, with additional appendages and shapes and the like. Something everyone else considers strange, but to her this is “normal” as she has seen people this way her whole life. She only knows it’s “strange” because she starts getting into trouble for drawing people as she sees them.
-She sees herself how others see everyone; “normal” (which I suppose to her is strange, since she has only seen herself this way and no one else in the world)

Illy’s Parents:
-Parents concerned with Illy’s well being, especially after getting notes from her teachers, seeing her drawings, and finding out she’s been in fights.
-Take Illy to therapy to try and help her.
-They don’t really know what to do about her.
-Father gives her the tape recorder as a means of venting. Thinks it may help her.

Therapist:
-Is a therapist.
-I don’t know what else to say about them.

Nina:
-Super cool.
-Meets Illy on subway one day.
-They look like Nina! No crazy patterns, colors, or shapes! They look “normal”!
-Later meets up with Illy and reveals that they can see things like Illy does!

HOORAY! Illy is not alone anymore! She met someone else who can see the world similar to her!
