Today we’re going to generate some ideas for cartoons using the setting of a train station platform.
You’re welcome to use the above background to try out your own ideas with.
Some questions to ask
Here are some questions you could ask about the situation.
Who’s on the platform?
What are they waiting for?
If it wasn’t a train, what else could it be?
When is it? Time of day, time of year, time period?
Who else is on the platform?
Have you ever encountered an eccentric commuter/fellow passenger? Maybe you’ve seen something on TV.
If the person is happy, why are they happy?
If the person is confused, why are they confused? Etc
What unusual/strange object could be on the platform
What could happen next?
What happened before?
What could go wrong?
Any interesting/funny/strange experiences of your own on a train platform. Anything you’ve seen online/on the news/on TV/in a film etc
