Assignment #10

Final Project Proposal

For my final project, I will be illustrating The Secret Garden, a favorite story of mine that has fascinated me since childhood. I'll photographing Jess' little sister, Brooke, in the role of Mary. The first couple photographs will display Mary's sour disposition. These photos will be dark and grim. The next couple photographs will show her beginning to accept her new life and grow as a person. These photos will have a little more color and life in them. The final photo will portray Mary's new appreciation for life. This photo will be light and filled with color.

The challenges I will face with this project are locations/settings and costume. The book is set in the  English countryside around the early 1900s, and I would like the settings and costume to portray that as accurately as possible. I would like this project to illustrate Mary's growth, with the mood of the photos progressing from grim to whimsical.
