POSSIBLE ELEMENTS which could go into this scene.

BACKCLOTH AND WINGS (This Backcloth will also be used for the "Camp" scene... see next page)

I decided, from a design point of view, this scene should be open and clean and simple to contrast with the other scenes in the show. So lots of sea and sky.

Rusty anchor  
Sea Do I paint little waves?
I hate painting animate objects.
Coconuts & Bananas  
Palms  
Boulders  
Boat at anchor in bay The focal point
Spyglass hill  
Distance and calm  
High eyeline  
Seaweed  
Driftwood  
Skull and bones  
Deck chair  
Ribs of a wrecked boat  
Sandcastles  
Rusty Anchor  
Huge sea shells  
Shark fin in sea  

A 17 foot wide cloth with 2 five foot wide wings. The ribs of wrecked boat are rather prominent but will be covered with a ground row in the next scene.
