Narrative - Environment Progression

Narrative - Initial Character Progression


Narrative - Initial Room Blockout





Under The Sea - Layout Development



                                                            Titanic Blueprint
Designing the interior and exterior of the ship we are going to have to look into preserving a section of the ship to make it more believable. It doesn't have to be a full model of the ship but if the camera decides to travel the space we need to give the illusion to the audience the whole ship is on the seabed. We originally wanted the characters environment to resemble the size and décor of the original Titanic. But we might consider modeling the environment to a luxury yacht that gave the Titanic a nod for inspiration.
                                                           Ship Layout Example
Here we took an example of a plan from Google images and looked at possible places we could place our character. To hint towards that heritage of a 20th century maiden voyage we must bring all the design aspects from the Titanic and place them aboard this vessel. Also we need to place the set environment carefully because with these sort of ships there are potentially multiple levels of luxury. We need to tread carefully and go with a trend of build to not lead to confusion. For example, placing the luxury Suite above the command deck/station. Because then how would the vessel sail if the bridge cannot sea the ocean?

Character: The Fabric Characters

I hope to have multiple characters for this project and a variety of them in the rooster. The style needs to be round and inviting to all audiences so I think simplistic colourful designs are crucial with this. My characters will be fabric based and so will my environment and so I will list some of these materials and bullet point suggesting possible designs.

*Rough plan of a track idea. It could be for the silk characters home track, based on a birdseye view of an existing track with the alterations done on the selected areas.
