Final Story Board- Work in Progress

This will act as my blueprint later, and the visuals and the ending needs to be tested, so a rendered outline form of the book will help a great deal. Simultaneously the narrative is being formed, the reader gets a visual and text experience. To see if the point of the message is coming across, what is the experience the reader is going through. The content that was generated previously is put on walls around me so and cross check on the information that is put in the book, as well as understand the information that was not taken to form the narrative and how some of these small details can be added back

Re-Arranging Story Line

Breaking from the original cronological order, while sticking to it by creating a different beginning instead of starting from Agumbe, where the information about Agumbe and their work will now be mentioned in the Acknowledgements
