Doll House Idea

Similar sectioned box

Overall Dollshouse 

When looking at one of the boxes in the Wham collection, I noticed that one of the boxes was sectioned out to be like a house, as to me it looked like the boxes could actually be rooms. Coming along from this idea, I decided to photograph a dollhouse I had at home, as this reminded me of the overall layout of the boxes being a house. I intend to produce some more detailed storyboards of the idea and research into what it could be and how to involve the dollhouse in more of a way.

Kitchen of Dollshouse

I have decided to photograph the dollhouse I have at home, as I initially thought this would be a nice thing to film or work from, I'd like to produce a series of drawings to work on of the rooms I take photographs of in the dollhouse project.
 The idea would be to use an open Wham storage box with the compartments to relate to the open plan style of a dollhouse, with the rooms all lining up. The kitchen would be in the 'downstairs' bottom section of the box, with the bedroom at the top etc. I can visualise it being a close up of the rooms in the dollhouse, and then zooming out to reveal that the actual house was in fact in a storage box after all, revealing the graphics of 'For Organised Living' however, I feel like there should be an additional slogan to mix in the living part of the dollhouse so that it all ties in together as an idea.

 I think first of all learning about the actual layouts of homes and dollhouses would be a good way to research the idea further, for it to look realistic, and the audience to immediately know what is happening.
 I think taking photographs of the dollhouse is helpful as it helps to see whether I could use it as the animating tool for this project, or simply use it as a form to animate from and research into. Another technique could be drawing from the dollhouse and using it as a study to work from.
