Process and Production - Writing a Narrative
Task 1
In our first Physical Studio practical we was given a task in choosing 2/3 newspaper articles. Using these articles, any personal experiences or external influences, we were to create our own short story or narrative.
This task was set to give us a chance to start thinking much more
creatively, as a graphic designer to create interesting ideas we need to
be able to have a creative mindset which this task achieves. But also
this task was to help understand the concept of copyright how copying
existing work directly isn't acceptable using existing work for ideas,
inspiration and influences is on the other hand acceptable.

| Image of my Articles and Ideas |
Using 2 articles on a serious topic about terrorists, bombs and threats to the public I knew this was a rather controversial topic to which I decided to take a comedy approach towards it. So brainstorming ideas I came across as writing my short story from the perspective of the Pigeon as being a Cia agent working during the release of the pigeons on China's National Day. Using influnences from a well known secret Agent James Bond I named my Secret Pigeon agent James Bird, to add hints of banter and comedy within my narrative. Develpoing my ideas futher below is the short Narrative I came up with.
Terrorist In Feathers
The Name Is Bird, James
Bird secret agent of the CIAPD (Pigeon Department). For my whole life I have waited
to carry out the biggest task of my life 5 years of training and today the day
arrives today's China's National Day. My day to finally make History.
Today
hundsands hun? hundree? hundrounds? hundeads? ahh hundreds oh feathers, never
was good with my science. So as I was saying today hundreds of pigeons are to
be released to celebrate China's National day and this my feathered fans is
where my duty flies in. To fly over the great wall of China dive down 100ft
find the treacherous pigeon beat him black and blue until every feather on his
body is broken find the man behind all of this save China and become a hero! *Panting* WOW that's a mouthful god damn if
only that was true! No but seriously working top secret undercover and
searching pigeons butts for butt bombs now that's a heroic act! For feathers
sake whom I kidding let's just get this over with.
James bird Badge number 007 reporting for duty sir! Checking pigeons 1's
butthole ufff holy godfeather you should be jailed for that what a hazardous
chemical this is a butt bomb itself some nasty piece of shhhhhhhh *Looks up* mmmMamaaa Mia that is one fire
cracking beauty! Never in my life have I seen a pigeon with perfect white
feathers, long sharp wild claws I think I'm in Love!
My time to shine chest out head high deep breath, macho time
baby."Well hello there, why I must say your one foxy-feathered lady, like
my muscles? I call them bob and bob" *winks*
She giggled clearly means she loves me too I can feel it we have a connection.
"I didn't mention my name did I I'm Bird James Bird and you are?"
"Not interested" she said. Huh not interested? ahh I get it she's
playing hard to get no problem "Beautiful name just like your eyes so
dreamy, so you free after the release maybe we can erm go for a little fly you
know like a date in the deep blue sky, between the fluffy clouds you and me ahh
how romanti.." interrupting me she said "Mister keep your claws to
the ground never going to happen" and walks away. "Oooh Feisty
feathers you have I like".
So
I follow her not going to let you get out of my eyes hmm I'm thinking a nice cloud
wedding and oh holy feathers it's time to take off and I haven't checked all
the butts! But I can't leave her just like that so I run to her and say
"Excuse me hot feathers any way I can give you a bird call" and at
that moment the pigeons were released for the big take off. Taking an emergency
shoot off I fly super high and fast yeah Bird! Past all the pigeons annoyingly
blocking my way and reach out to my hot feathers and got my claw hooked on her
feathers what a grab! But...
wait for it my claw hooked onto something and as I looked carefully I see... I
see... once more for effect, I see... the enemy butt bomb coming out her BUTT!
She broke my heart enemy as hot as her she's blown me up without a bomb. Looks
are deceiving my feathered fans so beware, her beauty was her biggest weapon
how unfair why does the enemy got to be so hot God feather this isn't fair!
Pulled the bomb out her butt I did, oh my so many buttons but my worst
nightmare this is in Spanish! Oh no what to do what to do in training they cut
the red wire but there's no wire here but a red button I'll just press this
maybe I'll work. *Presses red Button which
activates the bomb* What's these symbols *turns
the bomb other way around*
holy feather this isn't Spanish it's English and I've just activated the
goddamn bomb what 10 seconds left! OOPS! "Bomb
explodes*
BAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
