more ideas

After coming back from Barcelona the other people in my group got thinking on an idea of basing it from what they had seen in Dennis Severs house. From the DVD that I watched from inside the house, it has got great atmosphere from low light given off by the candles, and the sounds which are created when you move around the house. The house is like going into a time capsule and coming out in the 18th century.
From the others members of the group they said it plays a lot on your sense of smells, sounds and sights that are seen within in the house.

If we can get the same sense of the atmosphere as Dennis Severs house into our work it would really bring the animation to life.
The main themes we can pull out from the house would be the candle lights to produce low levels of light to give it lots of mood in the room, the cracking of a fire maybe, sounds of other people in the house.
The way we going to have the character interact in the house was, the character climbing thought the window and when knocks over an object to have like a chain reaction effect, causing more devastation inside.

They way we the camera is going to follow the character thought the scene have got the concept of the mystery video part from a Question of sport. The camera only sees little glimpses or parts of the figure running away or an outlined reflection of him, its not only till the end that we see who the character is. By doing it this way we can create mystery and suspense in the animation.

Here are a few links to get an idea of what I mean.
