In the facial designs for the character I have decided to add facial features such as a mouth and eyebrows to help show the character's emotion and to fit in well with the rest of the character's design.
Ooh yes, liking this direction and analogue approach! In terms of 'monster-ness' - maybe look at the Tasmanian devil character, so there's less of a distinction between head and body etc - I think that will give you 'monster' more immediately.
Figure 1. Kill Bill Movie Poster (2003) Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, Kill Bill (2003) is a crime and mystery film that is iconic for it's postmodern film design due to the use of many different film types combining together to create the film. 1. Intertextuality - Kill Bill is created using film conventions from many different films. This is shown through Tarantino's use of Japanese style fighting scenes and mystery. Figure 2. Fight scene 2. Non-linear narrative - There is a strong use of non-linear narrative through the film, meaning that the film's story line and narrative are disjointed. This is shown in the film with flash backs, for example, when 'The Bride' (Uma Thurman) see's Vernita Green (Vivica. A. Fox) and the siren sounds. Figure 3. Flash back 3.

Figure 1. Movie poster (2012) The Impossible is a disaster film directed by J. A. Bayona, which is based on the 2004 tsunami that hit Thailand. The film is based on the real life situation of a family of five who have travel to Thailand on a family holiday.

The opening shot shows the plane coming into Thailand with the family on it. This is where we are introduced to Henry (the Father), Maria (the Mother) and Lucas, Simon and Thomas (their three sons).

Figure 1. Movie poster (2004) Non-linear methods: Chronicle (Linear storytelling) - The film starts off with a non-linear storytelling method. This is as the audience are unaware as to where they are, who the characters are and what they are doing. The scenes also change suddenly and time shifts backwards and forwards. The story then becomes linear once Joel starts to get his memories of Clementine removed. This is as he is in a dream state trying to stop his memories of her from leaving him. Figure 2. Joel and Clementine meeting Retrograde (Events in reverse order) - This is shown throughout the movie without the audience realising until they are nearing the end of the film. At the start of the film the audience understand that Joel and Clementine have only just met and that Joel and Clementine's feelings towards each other grow, but towards the end of the film it is made clear that not only did Clementine and Joel know each other previously, ...
