Comic Assignment - should I say NO to horror?
August 19th 2008 10:45
Not that I can't even draw, I can surely try to use a pencil and illustrate things from my mind in paper. Not that I lack stories to drive at, I can always improvise from published ideas with appropriate copyright. It is the theme I couldn't swallow the most. We are asked to do a Comics Story with a Horror theme. The professor's reason was because there are really no Filipino Horror Comics.
I ususally like watching, reading, and by all means, attaching to Horror types of matters. But I just can't take it now. It's not for the horrifying pressures. I just know I don't like the sound of it now.
Never in my entire life have I experienced writing a horror story even if my readers would like me to do so. Horror things impose FEAR and dispose encouragement and I do know how it feels to be afraid of something you can't see and which will just wouldn't let you get out of its hang. Shouldn't we think that writings can influence? - that is the main point. Readers might catch interest with it, but I don't like the sound of them being influenced by it.
And so, I've been thinking of various ideas to put into that comic strip. Papers torn and dilapitated, I just can't take what I am doing. God knows how much I am unwilling about such a thing and I am just doing it out of the pressure of the requirement. But at the end of the day, I chose not doing it. I don't even know if I chose correctly but I didn't care.
After a week, my professor revealed that it was actually a quiz. Majority of the class didn't make it as well. I don't know if it was bad but I just felt no regret about not doing it. haha! I said my apologies to my Comic partner, Melissa, who also happened to have not done anything.
I just would say NO to Horror themes - any form.
