Story plot/Idea first draft
In this project, I wanted to try something new and create a romance comedy. When I created my first idea for my story, I wasn't sure if eight pages is enough space to include all these important events to bring two characters together. I tried to start writing about the beginning and the ending of the story. It helped me to visualize how the story should start and end, but also how much space do, I have to add the small bits. I wanted to show the two characters' bond together. For example, laugh together, have a good time, solve some problems that would bring them closer and explain the emotions of both characters in the end.
To create these types of funny situations I thought about breaking down the ghost abilities versus the clumsy character I created.
Scary ghosts in the movies, books and myths:
Ghost character I created:
Fly
Telekinesis
Scare people
Posses people
Have magic powers
Can be visible
Manipulate objects
Manipulate others feelings
Can't fly
Can't move objects
No one can see her except the support character
Have no powers except being clumsy
Invisible at all the times
Can't touch anything or anyone
Based on this list of what normal ghosts can do, but she can not I will make the character test some of these theories. My character is very childish and clumsy. I could make her try to do some of these things and fail. The supporting characters will be there for her, but wouldn't be able to help but just laugh.
Final story plot

After filling all the gaps in my script, I shared it with some of my friends to see if they liked the idea. Everyone was happy with the idea, so I started writing the script and drawing the storyboard.
Script
Originally I wanted to do some narration from the perspective of the boy since most of the talking and experiencing of how is to be a ghost comes from the girl. I wanted to show the audience how the boy feels in this situation and what he thought the moment he first meet her. However, because of the accident with the memory stick and wasting time redoing some of the work I didn't have enough time to do so.
Story board
Since I was a bit behind with the work, I decided to speed up drawing storyboard in form of stick people. I wanted to start my comic as soon as possible, so then I will be able to finish it on time.
