 * Lauren starting puberty**

This is the story about Lauren starting puberty, but she’s kind of freaked out because she really doesn't know how take care of herself properly. Lauren, is a 12 year old girl that doesn't really know what does developing means because she been home schooling at her house for a pretty long time. Lauren wasn't eating that much so wasn't growing much taller. whenever its was time for lunch or dinner Lauren never wanted to eat,her mum was always wondering why she kept on getting stomach ache and shes wondering why she never eat alot and Lauren herself was wondering why she never grows like her friends and shes always shorter than them. she went to ask her mom why is she no growing up like her other friends, but her mom knew already that she has started puberty but her mom, doesn't know how to explain it to her that she started puberty. because her mom missed the chance of telling Lauren about how a girl is developing, when she was young. but the mom had to take advantage of telling her even though shes big enough and shes suppose to be knowing by now that she changing into a grown up now. Few hours later Lauren needed the bathroom, and when she went to the bathroom she saw something on her underwear that shes never seen before and when she saw it she was really shocked and started freaking out because its her first time seeing something like that before. after Lauren using the bathroom she quickly went to tell her mom that when she went to the bathroom, her underwear had blood around it, when Lauren was explaining it to her mom she was shocked because to her seeing something like that before. then her mom told that its okay she doesn't need to worry about that its because shes growing up and when you start growing up you start changing and developing more and more.

The problem that Lauren doesn’t understand is that even though her mom told her that she’s changing and developing she’s still not understanding what her mom is telling her because to her developing means something else. Lauren thought since she didn’t really understand more why not going to Google and searching about changing and developing for a girl. And when she went on Google she now understands but not really. The next month she started again and she doesn’t know why if she started last month why starting this month again because she finished last month and she also thought that when she’s finished her period.
 * The problem **

So to Lauren her problem that she cannot understand is that why is her period starting again another month when she just finished last month. She went to tell her mom about that and her mom told her its every month it will come not only a month and then its stops. But Lauren didn’t understand why is it coming again even though her mom explained her and she also went to search about but it’s still not coming to her mind that its every month that it comes. So right know to Lauren she doesn’t know what’s happening to her and why her period is coming again this month.

My investigation what I did is that I did my animation about my word moving around and also it changes different colors. My animation doesn’t really take that much time because it’s about 12 frames and it’s just about my name going Melina Mahoukou in different ways.
 * Investigation: **


 * My animation about my name has: **
 * an animation showing their name or a word that is at least five characters long
 * rotating characters
 * rotating word
 * characters changing size
 * characters changing color


 * My animation about my name already has: **
 * have a background that moves
 * have at least 5 layers
 * be at least 15 seconds long
 * play at 12 frames per second

A story boarding is a plan a way of figuring how the story of the film before someone puts an enormous amount of work of the animation itself. It’s like a story that has been drawn into a picture let’s say like a comic strip.

Animation software is when an animation is in software where you can make your own animation. Like the one that most people uses is the Flash Mx 2004 and you can also do your own animation by drawing stick man and also knowing it however you want it to be like.

= = This is my first story boarding, and its about this 9 year old boy called Ben. Ben was sleeping properly in his room, then all of the sudden he wakes up in the middle of the night saying that he can't sleep. Then he goes in his sits on his bed and wonders why his awake this time, then he decides that maybe he can try going to get a glass of water. then he goes in the kitchen to get a glass of water. After getting a glass of water in the kitchen he becomes a little tired and starts yawning in the kitchen and wants to go to sleep. So then he goes in his room and yawns again then just goes straight in his bed.

The reason why i decide to make that type of story boarding its because sometimes people that cant sleep at night and when they cant they usually goes in the kitchen ti get something to eat or drink to make them a little cool down or tired. Because some people tries to sleep so hard but they can't maybe because they are hungry or they need something to cool them down a little so that it can make them fall asleep and maybe you just need something to make you okay, maybe because you didn't have dinner or sleep in the day so some people when they can sleep they maybe go and watch T.V or get something to eat or a drink.


 * my second story boarding design **



In my design my second design story boarding that I did it more simply to make it look understand able. Like the other boarding stories, well the other once you can straightly go to the point that you can understand my other two design storyboarding. I did because the other ones makes more sense than the second one about the girl Mary, and you could see that it makes a little bit sense from the way it looks like and the way it’s been drawn and written. But to me I think that my second design is different than the 1 and 3 design I’ve made. You can’t really understand much in my second design story boarding because it’s just a girl who swims and falls asleep and their the end which maybe to some people does not make much sense.

Another thing about my second design is that the reason why I did that it is because some other people also does sometimes and just dives in, stays in the pool for a few minutes then comes out and also sleep on the pool bed by the pools those type of pool bed relaxer. But I just didn't do it because some people does that I did it because I thought of just doing a simple story boarding and I want it to be different from the other story boarding, not the same because I didn't want my story boarding to be different from the one that are on Google or my first story boarding design.


 * my third story boarding design **

My third story boarding is about a girl called Amy and Amy loves going to the garden to sings. Amy is a music person she can do the do re mi fa so la si do, and other stuff. So it was an afternoon and Amy went for a walk just herself alone and she decide to make sit in the garden and make music. But at first when she entered her garden she was sing lalalalalalala, then she started introducing herself and also telling how she loves music so much.

The reason why I did that it is because people when they go in their garden they don’t really have much to do, but some of them goes in the garden do actually do something. That’s why I decide to take Amy as an example with her character and the way she exposes her personalities by the way she loves music. I also draw different picture to show how Amy is and does different things whenever she’s done with her things, like the part where she practice singing in front of the stage, I decide to make thins part like that because she always wanted to sing in front of the stage but she just tried to practice singing in front of the stage and how it will feel like for her first time.

 * Creation **

My creation is about a girl called Lauren, Lauren is this girl who is 12 years old and just started puberty and she doesn't really know what’s happening to her because she’s never seen something like that before and also its her first time seeing something like that, but her mom never talked to her about that and her um missed it when she suppose to be telling her daughter how a girl is developing in a different way. Lauren never knew what happen to her and also she had a stomach ache. Lauren doesn't really understand the way she’s developing and changing, Lauren doesn't really understand that that way. One afternoon Lauren was sitting at the TV room watching TV, she just keeps on getting stomach ache and she doesn't understand why she keeps on getting a stomach ache, Lauren decide maybe she should try going to the bathroom, because her stomach ache started since morning when she got up from her bed. When Lauren went to the bathroom she saw something red that she never saw before then she got really shocked because it was her first time seeing this and she was wondering why is it there on her undies.

She went out and deliberately goes out to tell her mum in a shocked way, then her mum tells her that it’s okay she shouldn't worry because it’s just a way that she’s developing. But even though her mum tried to explain her she still couldn't understand what was going on because she was going to the bathroom because of her stomach ache not what she saw. Lauren was really shocked at first but then few days after understood that because she went at research it. So now Lauren wasn't scared and shocked anymore she asked her mum to give her some pain killers to make the pain of the stomach go away, and now Lauren understood that she’s changing and growing up.

My product is based on Lauren that doesn’t really know that if she doesn’t eat for her health then she won’t grow. Lauren is just 12 and doesn’t know what developing in a way of changing is, so she ties to force herself her mum always tells her that if she doesn’t eat a lot then she will stay still short like an 9 year old girl, because that’s how Lauren’s height is. Lauren always tries to force herself to eat a lot and have a lot of sleeps but she doesn’t really know how to do that, that why her mum was thinking that maybe she should start going to school so that she will learn that if she eats a lot and has a lot of sleeps then she will grow taller and taller each day. Lauren wants to know how it feels like having a lot of sleep and eating a lot because usually what she does is that she never gets enough of sleeps and also eats a lot that why shes wondering herself how to grow but when her mum tells her she has to go to bed early so that she gets a lot of enough of sleep and also that if she eats a lot then she will grow a lot.
