Week 9:
My first task was to finalise the script and story and reupdate it where necessary. After that, I added the additional information that was needed like target audience, genre, etc..
Visual Reference:
I went to look onto Pinterest for some references for me to look at since I've never done a Pitch Bible before. Here's some interesting stuff that I found. I found inspirations on how I could arrange my character sheet and also how I could do my cover page as well.

Cover Page Design
I sketched out my cover page in Photoshop. The concept of my cover was to showcase Jinx working on her time turner machine which are the main components of this story.

After finishing the sketching process, I started to add colour to my drawing.

This is the final outcome of my cover page after multiple trials. I opted for the font 'Little Monster' due to its ideal thickness and good readability, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience as well. Moreover, I found that it harmonized well with both my theme and overall style.

Week 14:
As I made significant revisions to my initial story, it became necessary to reflect those changes on my cover page. The primary alteration involved replacing the machine reference with a candy floss machine. Additionally, I introduced further effects to enhance the title and background.

Final Project 2 (After feedbacks)
Here is the pitch bible for my second project. I personally created the background using various Photoshop brushes, carefully selecting them to align with the candy-themed nature of my story. The background features a vibrant pink color with a cloudy texture, reminiscent of the candy floss machine. To maintain consistency, I utilized the 'Little Monster' font for both headings and sub-headings throughout the pitch bible. For improved readability, I opted for the 'Roboto' font for the main body text. With the exception of images showcasing my inspirations, I included my own drawings throughout the pitch bible.

Feedbacks

- For the world description try to add the world itself on the slides.
-Try to find a name for the planet where she comes from.
- Maybe add more stuff into her workshop because it looks a bit ordinary.
Reflections
Week 6 - 14:
Creating the slides for the pitch bible was relatively straightforward. However, when it came to the actual presentation, I faced some challenges. I struggled to articulate certain points effectively and make them engaging for the audience. Additionally, due to stress, I missed out on discussing some important aspects that I had planned. Despite these setbacks, I believe it's essential to view this experience as a valuable learning opportunity. Rather than dwelling on my mistakes, I intend to reflect on them and use them as a foundation for improvement. While I had hoped for a better performance during my presentation, I realise that it's also all part of the learning process.
