For project 1, I will be exploring a classic, three act narrative structure that is also a Hero’s Journey structure. Back to the Future tells the story of Marty McFly and his friend Doc, and their experience with time travel. Doc converts a Delorean car into a time machine, which Marty gets into and travels back in time 30 years. In the past, he realizes that he must make sure that his parents end up together in high school, or else he will not be born. He overcomes this challenge through strategic events and interacting with characters from he past. He is able to come back to the present momentarily at the end of the film.
This animation will be simple and concise, but will include iconic representations to make the animation recognizable as the film.
