SOUND UNIT: Development

When I was taking my photos in the forest for "Journey into the great unknown" I came across a man made Faerie Circle. This put the idea to incorporate forest folklore and mythology into my sounds. So I researched folklore and mythology and found that in many legends, the fairies are prone to kidnapping humans, either as babies, leaving changelings in their place, or as young men and women. This can be 
for a time or forever, and may be more or less dangerous to the kidnapped. So after my research I am going to have a section of my story where my character is being loured away by the faeries in the woods. Symbolizing that she is getting deeper into the  with the ears and tails of horses or assewoods and more lost. I have been hugely influenced by director Guillermo del Toro and his movie "Pan's labyrinth" and his use of mythical creatures such as a faun in the story. The faun is a half human - half goat (from the head to the waist being the human half, but with the addition of goat's horns) manifestation of forest and animal spirits which would help or hinder humans at whim. Romans believed fauns inspired fear in men traveling in lonely, remote or wild places. They were also capable of guiding humans in need, as in the fable of The Satyr and the Traveller, in the title of which Latin authors substituted the word Faunus. Fauns and satyrs were originally quite different creatures: whereas fauns are half-man and half-goat, satyrs originally were depicted as stocky, hairy, ugly dwarfs or woodwosess.
