the Art world.
When Clive practices his drawing into painting, he improves
pretty fast. He is always interested in discovering new stuff to draw and
paint. One day a poster with colors caught his attention and he brought it
home. Susan found out and took time to actually guide him along with canvas

REFLECTION PAPER
Reflection1: why i think my story will appeal
to the target audience?
It’s a docu-drama that consent parents with
autistic kids, I think it will help parents to understand more about their kids
after watching it. Parents tend to work very hard for living expenses and
didn’t notice on their kid’s talent. There’s still hope no matter what
condition their kids are facing. Notice more on their kids movement and things
that they do. Find out their talent and put them on that path to further their
talent.
Reflection2: what i think makes a good screen
story?
Key Character to bring up this character in the
story. Of course the motive that I’m trying to convey to the audience must be
strong.

songs and tap Clive to sleep; Clive drifts off to sleep right away.

blocks. She grabs his attention by holding his hand and guiding him to fit the
blocks into the correct holes. Susan even teaches Clive to differentiate the
animals with play-cards. Susan always have to grabs his attention and not give
up on Clive. Clive always shows attitude when he is been taught on shapes and
play-card. She was very patience while teaching Clive all this basic.

basic. Susan decided to teach Clive something he may want to learn, that’s
drawing and painting. Susan makes Clive sits on her lap and guides him in
drawing. This time round Clive concentrated and didn’t get distracted. Clive

paper. Susan feel relieved and went to do house chores. Clive pause and walks
down the stairs with his finger traces along the wall. He walks towards the
grass and start picking leaves. While walking back home, he saw this attractive
poster on the wall next to the stairs. He tears the poster and continues
walking home.
Clive reaches his room and
immediately hides the poster and tries to shade the leaves overlapping way.
After Clive finishes his shading, he head to bed for a nap. Susan cleans up
Clive room, tidying her drawings that are left on the floor. She found the
poster that Clive brings back and it was an art competition. When Clive awake,
he continues with shading. After awhile, Susan calls Clive for her attention.
When Clive walks out, he sees Susan placing canvas and painting materials on a
table. Clive smile and walks towards Susan. He sits in front of canvas and
Susan guides him to paint slowly.
