Trying To Get Started

I'll be honest and say I'm finding it hard feeling inspired with this project, not because I don't like this idea. I think it might just be this time in the year, and I need to get my priorities in check. I did a few sketches of random things I thought of to do with the fears I researched.

Those being:

• Dentists 
• Murder
• Death

My favourite so far being the grime reaper looking character.

 

All happy topics, I will try to develop and maybe visit a few museums to get my drive back. Maybe look back at pictures of museums I took before for inspiration. 

Fears

I just googled what fears were the most common;

• Public speaking
• Heights
• Fear of the dark
• Intimacy
• The end
• Fear of failure
• Rejection
• Spiders
• Commitment
• Flowers
• Driving
• Dogs
• Dentist
• Snakes
• Needles
• Being alone
• Water
• God
• Abandonment
• Long words
• Clowns falling
• Change
• Germs
• Music
• Doctors
• Crowds
• Being touched
• Open spaces
• Engulfment
• Girls
• Thunder
• Flying

It would be interesting to try and ask as many people as I can what there's is, it might spark some more ideas.

Tim Burton Locations

As I was on a role with Burton I wanted to look at location, to which I found a variety. as I'm planning to essentially do horror. I don't want the location to be generic, I want it to be interesting which helps the story along. I like the idea of going psychological..IDEA.

They're in the doctors office mentioning their greatest fears (like clowns in the photo) - they hear and noise and it turns out to be that exact thing.

Tim Burton Animals

Going back to the way animals react, I decided to find some obscure animals that stood out to me. Naturally they were dogs. All showing a lot of emotions, what I found interesting about the two dogs with weapons in their backs. Was their unusual happy expression, if I went deeper with the pictures I could say it's about animal cruelty, that dogs are always happy and do nothing wrong, yet they're still stabbed in the back and abandoned by their owner.

Tim Burton - Back To My Roots

Going with my idea of going from fear to surprised in a bad way, from my quick sketch of the guy in the jacket. I thought maybe the person they see could be scary but obscure, I have Tim Burton art book that I like to browse for inspiration. I picked out a few 'people' that stood out for me.

Emotions That Interest Me

I realise when thinking about my original ideas that I was making it too difficult for myself, I decided to strip my ideas down to the bare emotions.

I've always enjoyed horror films, so the fear to surprised interests me. whether or not I will have a happy surprise or not is something I need to figure out.

It might not be a smart idea, but as I get scared easily. I had the idea of going around the city finding things that I find scary (while not putting myself in harms way) - to create the ideas going. 

Dogs Reactions to Barking

This video just made me happy, (as dogs do) I had to idea of researching into animals facial expressions and how humans would react instead. Or showing they having the same emotion so you can notice the significant differences in how they look, with their facial strctures.
