Tolkien inspired exhibition Wolverhampton

Exhibition statement

What would happen if college was attacked by zombies? That is what my exhibition is about. I have used my class mates as main characters and tried to figure out what they would do if they couldn't escape from a zombie infested college. I have tried to keep everyone’s personality intact so people can hopefully relate to themselves and say, yes that’s what I’d do there, or even just see themselves in a different light.

DIY entrails

If I can make some I want to put some entrails in my presentation area, so I've looked up a couple of ways on how to make them. The only problem is i can't afford anything at the moment so I am a bit limited to what I can do but I'll search the house and see what we've got.

Zombies:
My project is about people's plans for a zombie apocalypse, this has come about because of what me and my class mates were talking about. I thought it would be an interesting idea to turn people's plans for a hypothetical scenario into something visual for them to see. I want to be able to make this my own so I may make changes where I feel it's needed.
For my project I want to step away from what I'm used to with comic books. I want to try new things and get ready for university at the same time, so I want to plan out an animation. I will look at George Romero's movies and styles as a basis for my zombie stories, by looking at his 'of the Dead' set of films to see how they impacted culture in whatever ways they have. I intend look into how zombies have affected other media like games.
George Romero Is a big influence just because of what he has done with zombies over the years especially in how he's made them mainstream. I have recently started looking into how an animation is put together and how I can use that in setting up my own. For the project i will be looking at artists that are from animation and illustration, looking at these will help me in gaining a grasp in how bits are put together as well as acting as some inspiration. I will also be looking at some degree shows at Nottingham Trent and Lincoln, where I will be looking for students doing what I am doing and hope to get an understanding through their work. I hope that by seeing their work it will give me ideas that i wouldn't of had otherwise.
I hope to use animation in one form or another to tell a narrative of sorts. I want to use illustration as the driving force behind my piece though.
My work will ultimately be evaluated by my tutors and the administrator, but I also hope to get some feedback from my fellow students as well. This way I can get some constructive criticism I can use to improve myself in the future.
