The brief was to read, interpret and synopsis a novel or short story.
I chose The Crucible by Arthur Miller.
Based in Salem, Massachusetts the play is about the Salem With Trials that took place in the late 17th Century. The play has many themes throughout, the most evident one being the battle between good and evil.
Here are some of the slides from my presentation that will be given on Friday morning.
(Nobody says "John Proctor" like Daniel Day Lewis!)
The late 17th Century was a very religious time and the Puritans were no exception. They lived by strict harsh rules, for example entertainment such as music or dancing was strictly forbidden.
This is 1 of 2 slides for visualizing the theme. I choses these to try show the effect evil has one the good, For example, the crying women in the first image shows the horror on the faces as they watch upon something cruel.
I decided to show the mood of the time through textures. I was trying to make it look almost mono- colour to reflect the life they lived with browns and tan colours. At the time most things would've been done by hand such as weaving or cutting lumber.
This presentation week is only the start of our next project. Let's see how that goes :)
