Sketches

I showed Dan my collage and for the most part he like it. He gave me some suggestions and showed me some photoshop tricks that will help me with layering the pictures together. Dan has already been working on some sketches for the set. We looked at them and discussed what he really wanted to see in the design. My next step is to do some sketching of my own using my own collage as inspiration.

Visual Inspiration

Today, Dan and I met so that we could exchange our visual research. We talked a little bit about what really stood out to us from the text. I really connect to the idea that Hester is a dog, or bitch, in society. Everyone in her world treats her as if she's a dog, giving her little rewards that hardly help her for performing certain tricks. The doctors sandwich board which says "SPAY" is more exidence for this. Dan has started to look at metal structures for the bridge where Hester lives because he finds them more visually interesting than the freeway underpasses that I have been looking at. Either way, we both had a lot of similar images of homeless people. I decided that I'd like to focus more on the "mothers being held down" motif for my visual research. My next step is to create a photoshop collage 11X17 with the images that I think will work with the script.
