Premise: Development and planning of metaphors
I have been developing my ideas around each of my metaphors to make them more interesting and engaging. I have focused on making the little worlds a bit more whimsical and creating a miniature cuteness. I have also tried to make my ideas less generic than they were before and I have also added in extra details to the scenes to give opportunities for secondary animation and for things to go on in the background and around the main thing that is happening. Now I have done this I can start to draw out my new storyboards.
Butterfly metaphor:
"Even as babies when we started to crawl, my brother would be off exploring the room, discovering the world around him. I would be perfectly happy to crawl straight to my mum where I knew I was safe in my own protected space."
Spider web metaphor:
"At Christmas, when we would go to visit Santa, my brother would be the one with a thousand questions, asking things like “how do you travel around the world so fast, Santa?”, intent on finding out the answers. Whereas I would just sit there, excited to hear the answers, but too afraid to speak and ask a question of my own, as I was always too caught up in a web of nervousness."
Sun and clouds metaphor:
"At school, my brother was never afraid to talk to the teachers, always asking them questions whenever a question would arise. But I would go unnoticed, never asking any questions, just quietly doing what I was told to do, hoping that a problem wouldn’t force me to be brave and ask a question."
Windows metaphor:
"My brother would always be able to talk to strangers when we were kids, quite happy to do things like order his food at a restaurant. But I would never know what to say, scared that I would say the wrong thing and so I would always want my mum to speak for me, choosing to stay quiet."
Pen and paper metaphor:
"Playing together as children, my brother would always be the leader, whether that was whilst playing a game of cards or during imaginary games. I was happy to follow him, playing along with the game, although I did manage to voice my own opinions some of the time."
Speakers metaphor:
"As a child, I was always told to talk louder, speak up, that I couldn’t be heard because of how quietly I was talking. But my brother was never told to be quieter, as children are always encouraged to be confident and to speak up."
Birds metaphor:
"My brother was the always more popular one at school because he found it easier to make friends, always able to have a good group of friends around him. Whereas for me, I found it harder to make friends and so I was happy with my one or two best friends."
Clovers metaphor:
"However, my shyness has meant that I have created some meaningful friendships, friendships which will hopefully last a lifetime. As finding it hard to make friends makes for a more valued friendship, because they are hard to find but lucky to have."
Caution road metaphor:
"I am quite a thoughtful person, as my shyness has made me more cautious, able to think before I speak, carefully choosing my words as to not upset anyone around me."
Turtle metaphor:
"Truthfully, I’m actually not too shy once you get to know me. I am able to come out of my shell and be more comfortable around people that I have gotten to know well."
Boat metaphor:
"Going to a different secondary school than my brother meant that I had to learn how to be more independent. I was suddenly on my own, having been in school together since the age of 4. I learned how to fend for myself, without there always being someone beside me."
Peacock metaphor:
Mountain metaphor:
"My shyness has shown me that I able to overcome difficulties in life as I do see myself slowing improving as I get older."
Butterfly metaphor:
"Even as babies when we started to crawl, my brother would be off exploring the room, discovering the world around him. I would be perfectly happy to crawl straight to my mum where I knew I was safe in my own protected space."

Peacock metaphor:
"Going to dance classes and performing in shows since the age of 3, has meant my shyness has never held me back from performing as dancing on a stage is something I’ve always known."
Mountain metaphor:
"My shyness has shown me that I able to overcome difficulties in life as I do see myself slowing improving as I get older."
