#experimentaion

I am looking at synthetic cork and its’ affect it has on its’ surrounding environments. the first environment I chose is the ocean. 

I am thinking about animals within the ocean, oxygen, food, colour, movement, feeling and the first image I created...well rather in the process of creating is called Oceanic beast. This image portrays see animals that are consumed by rubbish such as cork. the blue marks are made from cork textures and the circular forms are cork scans.

Send me a •3• and I will put my playlist on shuffle, write down the first line of five songs and give it to your muse as a poem from mine

You can sound the alarm

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now

I look up to the sky

Told you I made dinner plans

I’m going through changes

Here is my Pinterest Board for Vanity Fair Act 2. Here I have changed the colour scheme from pastel and light to a much darker and richer colour palette to show that things have changed. The Battle of Waterloo has happened, Amelia left a Widow and things start to get much more tougher or at least more complicated especially for Becky and Amelia. They realise life isn’t as easy and plain sailing as they had thought when they were younger. I also felt that the richer colour scheme seemed more mature. This change in colour scheme could help suggest the passing of time.

A deep colour scheme would also work really well for the India scenes and moments where Becky’s wealth grows (golds, reds). Red also is a very powerful colour and would suggest themes of seduction, lust for money and control which Becky embodies. She comes into her own and the use of strong bold colour could help express this.

Ideas so far:

Another Pinterest Board:

I also started to consider colour scheme. I thought pastel, light and traditional shades would work well for Act 1 seeing as the characters are young and naive about life ahead. The play starts of quite light hearted and easy going for the characters until we reach Brussels and the Battle of Waterloo.

My ideas so far for Costumes:

Here is another Pinterest Board that I have created over the past few weeks. I Consider this board to be my starting point. I based it around some of the key words/themes the director asked us to consider when designing. These were:

- Puppets - Cracked Mirrors
