Roald Dhal responsive collab week 5

I met up with Mary today, unfortunately, the other member did not attend today but we kept them up to date through messenger (although it did take her a while to reply to our messages). Besides that Mary and I showed the development of our character since last week, Mary changed Mrs Trunchbull a lot and made her big and strong yet simple to match the style we are going for, as for myself I drew a final character design for matilda coloured in ready to be used in the concepts. Mary also drew Mrs Honey as she had an idea as to what scene she would like to compose but I asked her to wait until we take an insight of what people liked, we did this by making a questionnaire.

The questionnaire was specific to the characters we are going to be creating a concept. Since Mary and I were doing 2 characters from Matilda, I thought about a question that involves finding out everyone's favorite scenes, from this information we can determine what is the most uncommon scene. The idea is that we don't create famous scenes as we suspect that others who enter this competition are going to recreate them, we want to be unique in the crowd. The next question was about people's thought's on Mrs Trunchbull in Matilda so that mary gets an understanding of how people perceive her and this is to also identify what it is she can incorporate into her final design of Mrs Truchbull.

The final question was made for our other member as she has decided to do a mystical creature from Charlie and the Chocolate factory, the question was to identify what creatures people can remember from the film or book if they had read it, which will help with what creature she will be creating.

here is the questionnaire filled in:

As you can see we went to many people and collected through tallying and answers. I had a few options to choose from with Mary, with the options we have, I formulated an idea of what I wanted to create for the final composition. here is the final design for matilda I made:


Hopefully, we will start making drafts of the final compositions ready to be made into final concepts for the competition.
