From the early stages of creating my idea, I have had a very clear image of what I want the film too look like.
As the film is more part of the fantasy genre, I decided to look at fantasy films, video games and art work to help forge the image in my mind into an achievable film look.
This first clip is a scene from the movie Twilight. The forest they use is very much like the one I had imagined in my mind. They have colour graded the scene blue to give it that cold, secluded feeling which really works well. The use of fog helps create that mystique in the forest and also helps add to the secluded feel of the scene.
I also looked at a scene from the N64 video game Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In this scene, I like bright green colours and also the large, bright floating pieces of dust. I have seen these floating particles in fantasy films before and they really help bring a magical feel to the set. I would like to incorporate these into my film but very subtly. I also love the sound in the scene. The footsteps are echoed, the ambience seems never ending and really makes it seem like they are alone in the very middle of the forest, which is exactly the mood I wish to create.
I have also come across a photographer on flickr.com who has created some fantastic images of a forest.
