BRAIN STORMING MY GENERAL IDEA

1. Genre
2. Plot
3. Character
4.Location

Genre: After going to a recent OCR lecture with the chief examiner of Media Studies, he made it clear that originality was key. This is why I wanted to go for a unique hybrid genre of Art House Fantasy. Preliminary, I was looking at Crime, Thriller, and Horror but it was extremely common so I wanted something that would challenge me. 

Plot: This was an extremely difficult part of the planning. I have a love for art, so I wanted to base it around this fact. I also had to try and link the fantasy element with this. I came up with the idea of a boy that can talk to paintings and hear first hand evidence from old kings themselves. This made me extremely enthusiastic. It has also never been done before according to my research.

Character: My character is not a stereo-type in anyway. He does not join in any social group what so ever. I am however influenced by Richard Ayoade's film Submarine's protagonist Oliver Tate. He is quirky and indifferent about what he wears and how he acts socially. I also wanted him to be upper class as it matched well with the surroundings

Location: Location is set in 3 places. The first is an abandoned pub. This is where Pereguine lives. The second is a London Gallery in the West End. The third is outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. All these places are visually interesting. We see luxury paintings, to famous sites in London, and enigmatic old streets. Our location also helps construct our upper class character.
