For this project I plan to use the abominable snowman as my myth and how he is a scary snowman that walks around the woods scaring people. I am going to interpret my dog as the abominable snowman. I live in the woods so I have the right scene to show that my dog is in the woods. The lighting that I used in my photos is natural and my dog is a light colored dog so he really pops in the snow. In my opinion there is a major plots twist because, the abominable snowman is scary to kids in the movie and in my project the "abominable snowman" isn't scary looking and looks sweet. This project I am learning how to take a myth and reinterpret it through something with having some kind of meaning or having a plot twist, as did I.
