3 ways to develop ideas

 METHOD NUMBER 1:

'steal like an artist'




Austin Kleon







-acknowledge that there is no true original idea anymore.
-make a list of artistic influences. 



LIST: 
Harry Potter
The Hobbit/Lord of the rings
Greek mythology
James Bond
Money Heist 
Friends
The Famous five (books) 
Gotham
The Holiday 
Crime documentaries
Clueless




WHY?

Harry Potter
- The world of Magic, the line between good and bad. The themes, mood and settings speak out to me a lot.When I watch Harry Potter films it makes me feel relaxed and calm. 


The Hobbit/Lord of the rings
- The fantasy creatures, also the beatiful nature locations and the fictional castles and the visible difference between good and bad.

 
Greek mythology
- I was always very fascinated by greet mythology from a very young age. I found it very interesting all the ancient stories about Gods and mythical creatures. I would start reading children's greek mythology books from the age of 6. 


James Bond
- The criminal action/attraction to the main character. The love story in between all the violence happening in the film. 


Money Heist 
-The amount of thought that has been put into this film is incredible. all the details in the house. It is raw, authentic and unexpected. Themes: love, money, pride, family, heist, violence, betrail, conning, authentic. 


Friends
-The idea of a close friendship group living together/close to ache other and showing the audience 10 years of their relationships between them. Friends has also influenced my fashion styles. Themes: New York, love, relationships, humour, friendships. 


The Famous five (books) 
-I grew up on these books from a young age.
-the theme of friendship and adventures is the most important in these books for me.


Gotham
-The location, social fractions and ranking. The difference in society and themes like: relationships, love, protection of people and loved ones, crime, criminals. 



The Holiday 
-This film makes me feel happy and makes me feel relaxed. 
-Always when I'm in a bad mood or sad I watch it.
-it is cringe, but idyllic and the ending is so perfect (still slightly opened)
-Themes: love, heart break, long distance relationships, 





METHOD NUMBER 2: 

'The question game' WHAT IF?

What if a dear had a sharks tail? 
What if Harry Potter was a girl named Harriet Potter?
What if  The Hobbits were actually evil in secret?
What if Greek gods pretended to be superior to humans but in real life they were actual ordinary people?
What if James Bond fell in love with the villain ? 
What Money Heist was organised by the state government and it was all planned out and no one was actually stopping the heist, it is just a cover up?
What if Rachels baby Emma is actually Joes baby and she is keeping it a secret?
What if Gotham is a social experiment in real life. and scientists analyse what happens the city.
What if Amanda married Graham and Graham gets cancer?
