Antología de leyendas urbanas ecuatorianas a través de un motion cómic para la difusión cultural.

Abstract

This project confirms previous findings about Ecuadorian customs and traditions through legends, common knowledge, and national identity found in the stories we know as Ecuadorian legends. The main goal of this academic study lies in the elaboration of a motion comic demo, its development and production will be conceived in such a way that it can vivify and transfer a narrative into an animation to promote to a young audience from 13 years old onwards the interest and understanding of Ecuadorian legends as part of their native identity through the use of digital platforms, helping its dissemination through social media platforms by sharing this content as video format, thus having an overall better reach and engagement. Thanks to this research, our knowledge of the Ecuadorian narrative of dark fantasy and mystery is developed through the elaboration and classification of a summary that includes mostly stories innate to their origin province and that can be of support for future research for academic purposes.
