Figure out what medium to use for each part of the story

Akari, my adventuring little Mazda 3, seems to be determined to increase my knowledge of this region that I was drawn to, that I fled to when my life changed so completely after multiple losses. As the collection of regional headstones grows, a picture of the impact of the Gold Rush on the lives of those who came here, infused with gold fever, emerges. It was certainly not an easy life.

The grave of Elizabeth Escott and her daughter Fanny lies in bushland on the east side of the road to Fryerstown. When Elizabeth’s husband died, she left England with her eleven children to make a new life in Australia. She was one of many who were beaten by the hardships of life on the diggings. Fanny was sixteen when she died of consumption at Blacksmith’s Gully in 1856, and Elizabeth died six months later. Another daughter, Mary, had died in 1855.

Margaret and Stephen Symons suffered the pain of losing their eight year old daughter in 1895 but it is likely that the loss of their beloved son to the 1918 war broke Margaret’s heart because she died in the same year.

ACMI has a story board generator for those who want to build a background for their films. Aside from the use of storyboarding, as envisaged by Walt Disney, storyboards will enable you to see an entire novel at a glance.
