Proposal - Initial Ideas

For the next project that will be spanning over the next year an animation of a professional level will have to be designed and created. In order for this to come to fruition the concept of the animation requires a lot of thought and time to iron out any issues while also being meaningful in some way. After looking through a number of ideas and talking two ideas have been left to put forward.
Both concepts focus on the feelings of being trapped and because of such will share a lot of traits. At the same time they are very different from each other. 

The first idea for the animation is representing visually the sense of sleep paralysis. It is something that we will all experience or hear about at some point. People have also been know to have varied experiences such as seeing monsters or feeling a strange presence. This is on top of the feeling of being unable to move one's body despite screaming in their heads. What if they never wake up?

The second idea was inspired by war stories during the Korean war where over whelming Chinese solders in the thousands over ran British tanks, immobilising them, trying to get access inside. The unknowing of what will happen once they get inside. The sounds and cramp conditions of the tank essentially acting as a metal coffin. Not being able to see or get outside. How would someone in that situation react?

Both of these ideas require further development and present difficulties in terms of imagination of expressing such feelings both visually and in terms of sound design.
