This project looks at the creation of a fantasy world and the fantasy genre in films, and analyses it as a whole. The fantasy genre is often seen as a means of escapism and is many times overlooked in terms of storytelling. In this project, I shall delve into the identifiable tropes and clichés that are prevalent in the fantasy quest genre. I show my own building of a fantasy world and the problems that I faced in writing a fantasy film script, and my attempt to balance the use of the tropes and find new ways of writing in the genre. The project covers an in-depth outline of my script as well as the characters involved, and digs deep the strengths and limitations in fantasy storytelling.
