Cabin in the Woods Pre-Production Presentation

1. Mind Map

I started by thinking about the functionality of the cabin and extended the concept into a church, a residential cabin, and a windmill cabin. My initial idea was an eerie church, which could also give me the opportunity to create some will-o’-the-wisp effects. Another option was a windmill cabin on a farm. However, I then remembered a movie I once watched, The Wolf and the Lion, in which the protagonist lives in a cozy little cabin in the forest. Inspired by that feeling, I decided to design and create a summer forest cabin that conveys a similar warm and peaceful atmosphere.

2. Mood Board

In terms of lighting and shadow, I want the morning sunlight to shine through the leaves and fall onto the cabin, creating a natural and tranquil atmosphere. For the color balance, I plan to focus on yellow-green tones to emphasize the feeling of being in a forest environment.
