decides to invade Peter's room. Terrified at first sight Chloe becomes a pest when she annoys him causing him to stay awake all night and he decides to get rid of her by any means possible.

- Message :
Just because they're scary and annoying doesn't mean they're evil. (same with don't Judge a book by its cover.)
Friendship.

Genre : Comedy and Fun

Target Audience : Family and Children

Character Design :

- Chloe & Peter :
- Final 3 Designs *with rationale and character descriptions.*

-Indoors :

- Rough sketches of floor plan and placement of props in the room according to
script.

Staircase and Kitchen :
- Same as above

Props
- R&D on interacted objects by characters
- Rough Sketches of those objects
(best to focus on props interacted by characters first to avoid time wasting)

Peter's get rid of Chloe mission machine
- Research on putting up a chain trap in a room
- eg, home alone, little rascals blablabla

Anyway thats all we have to do by this Saturday.
On friday 9th Oct we will have our discussion on the mind map. Sadly i tried doing it alone but its not fair for everyone because we need more ideas regarding the parts that are incomplete for example the part where Chloe annoys Peter is not specific enough and needs to be fixed. Got alot more so we will have our discussion after class and if time doesn't allow it we will finish the mind map online.

Thats all for now!
