a brief update really. I've been ill since Sunday and so work rate has slowed down somewhat.
However, while i was bed ridden i did watch many a dvd. Some of which are relevent and can be used as research:
Sweeny Todd
Bridge to Terabithia
Big Fish
and maybe stardust.
Basically Sweeny Todd is a story and play written around the Victorian period and so i can reference costume, environment, personalities, Crimes and etiquette.
BtT is a film based on a childrens novel. I think this can be used to show gender equality. I love the vibe of this film and would like to bring the companionship elements to my game project.
Big Fish is a Tim Burton film (as is ST) and Burton is someone i said i'd research in my learning agreement. I love the strange balance of realism and fairytale in this film. Overall Big Fish is ridiculously charming and the characters really stand out.
Stardust is a nice concept. maybe i could look at some dickens stories and mix them up like stardust does to traditional fairytale. costumes are also nice. They have modernised the outfits in a similar way i planned to do with victorian fashion in my game.
currently downloading victorians uncovered documantary so more on that later
