concept art - fantasy world

so right now I'm doing some concept art for the fantasy world that we are going to have in our film now from looking at shotgun and the roles that Dom assigned ill be working with Deon and Sarah on it, so i thought when talking to Dom about it that i could come up with some basic ideas of what i thought it could look like just to begin a point in which we can brain storm ideas and moods for the fantasy world resulting in a more finalised idea and concept. so i knew that we were going for a very tim burton style so i just started looking at some of Tim burtons movies and the sets from them, now from them i got a very basic view of how the fantasy world could look, along with having a basic description from Dom on how the world would be

HER FANTASY WORLD WILL BE:
It has to be warm and safe. Where she can feel relaxed
She sees a swing tied to a tree (with cloth tied to it for Lily’s ncloth). Will there be a breeze?
As she runs closer she sees a spider on the swing. She then hears whistling of incy wincy spider.
Like a television, she begins to have a flash back that’s fuzzy of a man kneeling over a dead body. You can only see him from behind but the tattoo on the back of his neck is prominent.
As she remembers this her fantasy world shatters and you hear the door swing open.
We see the man with the tattoo on the back of his neck from behind as he walks in and closes the door on the audience.



so realising the tree would be one of the main concepts within the fantasy world when i saw this picture of a tree from the film sleep hollow i felt that it would be perfect due to the stylisation and how it would fit perfectly.





when i looked at these pictures again i liked the thought of everything being bigger than life to show that contrast from reality and that could be shown through the tree and the swing being alot more bigger than compared to the norm.

so these were the basic ideas i had for the design for the world , but for the mood of the place i was still not sure , now from Dom description of it it had to be warm and safe , now i thought of those words and i thought paradise but more comforting and thinking from that a film came into mind a very old film..well a 13 year old film i think , it starred Robin williams and was called What dreams may come now this film first came to mind due to i remember vividly a certain part in which it showed their version of paradise almost like a heaven within the film and i felt that mood is close to what we might want.







so from these pictures i found that are from the film i felt showed the mood i would think we would want to portray through both the lighting and color also the use of warm colors of oranges , yellows and burnt browns. creating an autumn feel towards it.
