RESEARCH- FILM

Linking to the weird 1970s/ late 1960s aesthetic I keep referring to, a few films definitely spring to mind such as The Wicker Man and Rosemary's Baby. Looking at these films I can gather inspiration for textile ideas and it may also influence my narrative- storyboarding 'Psycho' last year really helped with creating a suspenseful sequential illustration, so that is an experiment that I could possibly explore for my FMP illustrations.

The costumes and creepiness from the Wicker Man is definitely relevant to my FMP in subject matter, and I would like to encapsulate that frightening atmosphere some how- probably through the rustic, homemade nature of the costume.

Rosemary's baby has amazing set design (great late 60s wallpaper!), and I think thumb nailing certain scenes could really help with creating a dark and tragic set of drawings to accompany the bear costume (Rosemary's Baby being the only Roman Polanski film I have ever and will ever watch)
