Beginning - First Steps for Major Project

The first steps I will undertake for my Major Project is to note down the key things and ideas that are important to the development and creation of original content I am set to produce. I had broken down the project into categories and lists that will help me pinpoint what themes or plans I want to incorporate for my artworks.

The categories are as follows:

Genre/Themes

-        Fantasy

-        Enchantment

-        Magical

-        Charm (?)

Characters

-        1 Male

-        1 Female

-        1 Animal

-        1 Spirit/Non-living

Setting

-        Woodland (?)

-        Rural Areas

-        Streets/Towns

-        Lake

Narrative

-        Encounters

-        Exploration

-        Friendship (?)

Visual Imagery

-        Character art/Concept art

-        Storyboard scenes (?)

The list are to show what the main focuses within each category are I am going to develop. The priority at this point of the project is the development of characters, as they will take some time for refinement (character’s name, occupation, clothes, etc.) before placing them in scenes. Secondly I will move on to the world and the setting, which will involve some exploration in colour and location research to help producing the environments of the world. The characters will be the main focus of the Major Project, closely followed by the creation of the environments which these characters will be situated in, as well as the exploration of my imaginative world.
