WEEK01: Inspiration and Theme Setting

At the beginning of the project I want to do part of the final project. But after thinking about it, I don’t want to spoil the integrity and continuity of final project. So for this project I am going to do a different theme. But the style is consistent with the final project. Think of this project as a preview.

What follows is the source of inspiration and project settings for this project.

Inspiration

The inspiration for this project is the ancient Chinese prose “Peach Blossom Spring”. (Translation may be wrong. Its Chinese is 《桃花源记》)

The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring is one of the representative works of Yuanming Tao, a writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This article uses the clue of the whereabouts of the fishermen in Wuling to connect the reality and the ideal realm. Through the description of the peaceful, happy, free and equal life in Peach Blossom Garden, it expresses the author’s ideal of pursuing a better life and his dissatisfaction with the real life at that time.

Theme Setting

In this project, I mainly wanted to show that the protagonist found a mysterious cave in the deep forest. Just like in “Peach Blossom Land”, the protagonist found a fairyland in the crevice of the mountain in a peach blossom forest.

For this project I want to create a female character myself. Use UE4 to build scenes of dense forests and mysterious caves.
