Busy week! I had an interview with Andrea Sutherland on Friday to discuss how she envisioned her film, 'Burning Ambition'. I told her all my ideas to date, and showed her my research and colour schemes, ideas for the design of the 'Dunn Cow' working mans inn, John Dobsons home, and the Pattinson's kitchen- the 3 main settings for the film. We also discussed Victorian costume and furnishings. I told Andrea an idea that i had conceived whilst reading her script; In the script, the architect John Dobson states that he always puts the elaborate designs on the top of his acclaimed buildings, so that the working class could enjoy them and would no longer walk around heads bowed and stand up straight to admire them. I told Andea that the buildings in 'Burning Ambition' should therefore always be above the eyeline of the working class characters, representing that they were always striving for something higher and had aspiration and ambition. I think it is fair to say that Andrea was very impressed with my work so far! She asked me to design some costume for the characters which would portray their individual personalities, and reflect their class status. So this is what i have been doing over the weekend on Photoshop. I have so far created the costume design for the characters of the Patinson family, The Dobsons and Mrs. Shields. I have also looked at costume as a whole for any extras in varying class status that will be needed when the film is shot. I still need to gather some fabric samples, and a few photographs of the Victorian buildings which still stand on the Quayside today. I think i shall do these this afternoon, as i have finally finished my written work for this module, and can now can concentrate on finishing off all my practical work up untill hand in! nearly there...!
