This year comprises of 2 parts to my final major project and a dissertation. First unit, pre-production. Second unit, production and post production to my final piece.
Over the beginning of the summer holidays I had a think about what I wanted to do for my final piece.
I came to the conclusion to create and film an adaptation series of shorts based on Fables. This was because I enjoyed adapting the war poetry in the second year where I had the creativity space to experiment with film, imagery and sounds. I also wanted to film something where the audience are learning something worthwhile from watching my series, considering my course is based in a TV studio which has a large history of known childrens programmes.
Thinking about when I was younger, I loved listening to fables and learning morals, but as a visual person I thought, wouldn't it be great to watch something short and simple and entertaining. Everyone can relate to fables.
This is how my project, and ideas begin. I have decided to take on the main role of the Producer in my project as this is how I see myself in the future because I enjoy organising and prepping and in control of the whole project.

Fables
What is a Fable?
Fable derived from a
latin word ‘fibula’ which means a story that is a derivative of the word ‘Fari’
which means to speak. A Fable can be defined as a concise and brief story
intended to provide a moral lesson at the end.
In literature, it is
described as a didactic[1]
lesson given through some sort of animal story. In proves and verse, a fable is
described through plants, animals, forces of nature and inanimate objects by
giving them human attributes wherein they demonstrate a moral lesson at the
end.
Purpose of Fables
The purpose of
writing a fable is to convey a moral lesson and message. Fables also give
readers a chance to laugh at the follies of human beings and they can be
employed for the objective of satire and criticism. They are very helpful in
teaching children good lessons based on examples. However, in literature,
fables are used for didactic purposes at a much broader level.
