Thoughts on the project

The project i have been set is based on Charles Dickens famous tale Great Expectations. With this project i will be researching and re creating two of the main characters from the story which include Miss Havisham and Estella. I will be getting a strong grasp on each of the characters identities and characteristics in helping to develop my own versions of the two characters.
By doing this I started of by watching the TV adaption of great expectations, and getting a real feel of each of the characters and the influences in there lives within the programme. I hope From watching other adaptations I will be able to see how other make up artists and designers along with film producers, have styled and characterised each of the characters and made them there own.

I find it exciting that i will be able to re create the famous characters from the Charles dickens tale great expectations tale and be able to pitch the idea and apply my own ideas across for both characters. One thing i am not looking forward to doing is pitching my idea threw PowerPoint presentation as i find it hard to get across what i wanted to achieve and why and am not a very confident person when it comes to pitching my ideas.
