Our Pitch/Mood board of Ideas

As a group Jessica, Harry and I decided to create a small stretch pad filled with mood board ideas, to relate to our overall theme of fairy tales. We researched into three main Grimm fairy tales: Cinderella, Jorinda and Joringel and The Girl without Hands.  We used this along with our power point presentation to pitch our idea. Through our research, we found that Grimm fairy tales linked together with use of violence, scenery and environment. In particular, one main factor most of the fairy tales have in common in the story is the use of grain. This could be something that could be used effectively within the installation, as the library itself was originally a grain warehouse.

We received a lot of positive feedback from presenting our ideas and we took on board a lot of advice we received. One main factor within our installation that we need to take into consideration is the thought of quality, to really feel a sense of truly walking into fantasy/fairy tales. In order to make our installation as realistic as possible- props, lighting, costume, sound effects need to be as high quality as possible. We tend to do this by taking advantage of the Lincoln Performing Art Centre props/costume cupboard and also to search around online and in various charity shops to find innovative yet imaginative objects that will fit well to the theme.
