A Journey to Happyland

 

     Hi! This week I am here with a funny story. Do you want to hear my story? But before I will give you some information about the process of creating our own story. My friends, Sevda and Melike, and I are supposed to create our own story with our own drawings and also narrate the story we create so we decided to write a funny and also easy to understand story but it is not that easy to find the characters since we spent a long time to find the characters. We created a fantastic story full of colours and crazy ideas. We recorded the narration part in the school so there were lots of things to distract us while doing the recording part since we can't stop laughing and we tried to record it almost ten times and we had only 3 days to submit the story so it was the most difficult part I guess. As for the drawing part, we used Adobe Photoshop program  and benefited from Melike's digital drawing skills. After that I prepared the sound effects and finding the background music was another problem for us but we found it eventually! However, the sounds we found were too long for using at the background and also we needed some nature sounds like birds tweeting,bushes' rustling, magical appearing sound effect and also whinnying sound effect for our lovely unicorn so I had to combine them in a song. We used http://mp3cut.net/tr/ for cutting and combining the sounds. Finally we made them together with the help of Movie maker program. The most heart-warming part was seeing what we produced after all those problems. I think story telling is one of the best activities for gaining team working and organizing skills. Also it is super beneficial for putting your creativity into good use and developing your speaking skills. You can find the video and the text of the story below!



 
~A Journey to Happyland~


Once upon a time in Sugar Land, there is a little girl called Ice cream Princess. She doesn't have any friends except from her unicorn Buttercup. Everybody finds her weird because of her passion about discovering other worlds. One day Ice Cream Princess and Buttercup decide to leave the country in pursuit of realizing their dreams. They take some food with them but after 3 days,they run out of food. They are hopeless and helpless.

Suddenly, they hear a sound! It is coming from bushes. They are at the edge of screaming but a Chilli Pepper boy appear in that time. Seeing that they are helpless, he comes closer to Ice Cream Princess and says: Hi! My name is Chilli Pepper Joe, I am a friend who comes from Chilli Pepper Land. What's your name? Ice Cream Princess replies: Hi! My name is Ice Cream Princess and this is my unicorn Buttercup. We come from Sugar Land, we are looking for a place to live happily. Why are you here?
Chilli Pepper Joe replies: I left my town, everybody looks down on me because I'm so tiny and I'm also looking for a place like you.
   
Chilli Pepper Joe shares his food with them and they continue to walk together. suddenly they hear a sound and see an upturned turtle. Turtle says: "Oh, please can you help me? My feet are too short to turn." Ice Cream Princess and Chilli Pepper Joe immediately help the turtle and turn him to together. Mr. Turtle: " Oh, thank you so much. Without you, I wouldn't be able to turn. I want to help you,too.  Chilli Pepper Joe says: "You are welcome. We are looking for a place where we can live happily. Can you help us?" Mr. Turtle replies: That's easy, here take these tickets. I'm coming from there. The train will depart in 5 minutes from that stop." Suddenly a stop made up of candies appears. Ice Cream Princess and Chilli Pepper Joe thank Mr. Turtle and go to the candy stop. They get on the train and they live happily ever after in Happyland! <3
