Moodboard – week 1

For my personal project I want to dive into the field of superheroes/people with powers. Having a couple of ideas in my head for what it could be, it is really integral for me to break them all down and see what it more possible and can be realistically achieved in the given amount of time.

Element powers – 1 character

As my first idea it is based around having power over elements and controlling them. Based around the 4 elements: earth, air, fire and water, I was thinking of having a shot of a person manipulating the various elements and playing around with them.

2/3 characters

My second idea was created on a scene of two characters fighting, each having powers inspired by specific characters from action movies produced by Marvel. The first one being Captain Marvel and her power of being able to manipulate cosmic energy which is appearing as a volumetric bundle.

The second is more based around Wanda Maximoff power, where she has this red-coloured mist energy emanating from her hands and body and is able to telekinetically move objects.

The storyline would be based around the two characters, having those powers, fighting each other, at some point interrupted by a 3rd person, who plans on destroying everything, so they team up and fight against him.
