After receiving feedback for my first draft, I decided that my idea was too broad. Trying to study Fantasy across a number of mediums such as Art, Philosophy and Literature as well as Films was far too broad and I struggled to write any detailed analysis.
I decided, then, to just focus on fantasy films, and just narrative within these. Looking at one element of films offers much more opportunity for detailed research of particular films throughout cinema history. Now, I plan to start choosing and researching a collection of films from different times and styles as case studies to derive the conventions of a fantasy film narrative. I will then use this research to develop a treatment for my own original fantasy narrative.
