To gain inspiration for the animation I spent some
time looking at war images. Some of these images are real war time images,
whereas others are from movies and recreations.
Image
#1 – Burning Tank
This image of the tank has given me an idea for
the tank in the story of Liberation
Bridge is to be
destroyed. This could possibly be done with a direct hit from a bomb dropped by
the RAF.
Image
#2 – Sniper Kill
The sniper in the Bell Tower
of my story gets killed. My initial thoughts are for the sniper to be killed by
bazooka fire.
Image
#3 – Bridge Advancement
As the soldiers start to assert their dominance so
they make their way over the bridge to claim the strategic position. This has
inspired me to do this for both the German and British platoons.
Image
#4 – Snipers View
As the Geman sniper is taking look-out in the Bell Tower
of the church, looking through his scope is an interesting way to see what he
can see. It makes us feel as if we are the sniper or we at the scene itself.
Image
#5 – Fighter Planes on the Attack
Although not this is not the type of plane in my
story I am inspired by the fact they are on attack presumably attacking a
ground position based on the angle they are flying at.
Image
#6 – Bazooka Fire
As these soldiers take a position with a rocket
launcher it has given the idea to have the British take out some German positions
with a bazooka.
Images
# 7 – Soldiers Attack
As these soldiers advance they do so under the
flames and smoke of a battle. I shall incorporate this element in my story as
the British make advancement.
Image
#8 – Solider Running
To me these soldiers look like they are running
into position, possibly when under attack. It has given me a thought of how to
move soldiers into position during Liberation
Bridge – and yes, that is
Prince Harry!
Image
#9 – Nazi Parade
Although the parade itself doesn’t inspire me as
such it has given me an idea for a German car to travel up the street, with a
Nazi officer making a check on his soldiers.
Image
#10 - RAF Flight Path
As these planes fly in formation it has given me ideas
of having the RAF make an impact in the story.
Image
#11 – Snipers Vantage Point
From high above the sniper can scan the area
opposite the defensive position ensuring that any sign of attack can be met
with force if needed.
Image
#12 – Taking Cover
These soldiers could be taking cover fro being
fired at or preparing themselves to move into position. For my animation I
would like to use this idea as part of an ambush sequence.
Image
#13 - Soldiers Behind a Wall
The soldiers in this image look as if they are
preparing for an assault on their target. The colour in this image is similar
to the look I would consider as there is it is a low-lit scene.
Image
#14 - Lancaster Bomber flanked by Spitfires
This sight in the sky would have been commonplace
during the war years as the Lancaster
would have been on a bombing raid. The Spitfires would accompany the Lancaster for protection
from enemy fighter planes as well as destroying their own targets.
Image
#15 – Exploding Bomb
The image of the soldier running from an exploding
bomb has given me an idea of soldiers in my animation coming under heavy
artillery fire.
Image
#16 - Fighter Plane Fly-over
As these two fighter planes fly overt the war torn
destruction it appears that one of them has been hit. I would like the fighter
planes in my story to have some sort of impact on the battle between the
Germans and the British.
Image
#17 – Solider Line-up
The row of soldiers signifies their power and
dominance. I would consider adopting this for a scene in the animation but with
the soldiers firing their arms on the offensive.
Image
18 – Plane flying pass a Tower
This has inspired and idea where one of the
Spitfires attacks the Church
Tower in an attempt to
kill the Sniper.
Image
19 – Soldier’s Last Shot
This iconic scene fro Saving Private Ryan
symbolises the heroism of the soldier while at the same time leaves the
audience emotive as the true reflection of war hits home.
Images
taken from films WW2 films, well, Saving Private Ryan to be precise, for additional inspiration:
