Seven Wonders of the World

After developing my idea more from both my own ideas and with help from feedback given from a focus group (which can be seen in my work folder) and deciding exactly where I want my character to go on her travels, I decided she would travel the world with the sole intention of seeing the Seven Wonders of the World. This, I thought, would broaden my ideas but also make it easier for the audience to relate to. Whether my audience would know about the Seven Wonders either from word of mouth, visiting them themselves or through films and TV series such as 'An Idiot Abroad', people will have at least a slight knowledge about it and the ancient artefacts that they entail.


Rather than using the Ancient Seven Wonders of the World, I decided to use the New Found wonders, to keep the animation piece in a modern story. The Seven Wonders are:


  • Great Wall of China- China
  • Petra- Jordan
  • Christ The Redeemer- Brazil
  • Machu Picchu- Peru
  • Chichen Itza- Mexico
  • Colosseum- Italy
  • Taj Mahal- India
  • Great Pyramids Of Giza- Egypt
Although I will base the different locations around the Wonders, I think that this idea came about because i wanted the audience to feel involved and recognising the locations and the story. As well as including the attractions, the different cultures that are surrounding these places I will involve in the story, and will be something that my character has to over come both in a positive and negative way. Although at first, using all of the Seven Wonders seemed like a good idea, I think that using all seven will be too much movement and keeping up for the story and animation to be easily watchable for the audience. Because of this, I have chosen only a few of them which I will explainin detail in my next blog post.
