Make your own storyboard using Celtx. Choose something important that happens in the film, Chihiro meeting Haku or the Stink Monster visiting the Bathhouse, on the storyboard draw what happens in pictures. Then continue the story using your own ideas. Create a spirit character that might live in the bathhouse. Make a list of how your spirit might sound, move, talk, and what it likes and dislikes. Use a mix of paints, pencils and a collage affect to add colour to your spirit.

Create a Top Trumps Game

Go through the characters in the film and assign

points for each character. Organise categories for

the points and ensure that these relate to the film.

Create a physical version of your game or maybe

create them on your UMPC.

Miyazaki chose to set the film in a bathhouse, an important place where people go to relax in large hot tubs. The characters that live and work there don’t wear shoes or socks inside; they eat their meals out of bowls with chopsticks, sleep on mats on the floor and often bow when greeting each other. Most of the characters wear a Kimono, the traditional dress. Japanese writing, lanterns and masks can also be seen in the film. All these things are examples of Japanese culture.
