As previously mentioned, you were to have thought about a critical scene from a movie to use as reference for our final project. For this Monday please bring in the printed scene from the movie. We will, as a class, look at and discuss your intentions. These intentions should be to recreate the scene giving us the perspective of the loser/ antagonist/ anyone other than the perspective presented. The director cast each participant in a role that enhances the perspective of the protagonist. We see it using eyes sympathetic to the plight of the protagonist. Your challenge is to present the perspective of someone else in the movie. How would you recast these characters, lighting, space, time. All need to be considered to support your intended perspective. Make sure to chose a scene that can convey this best, whether it is the showdown, coming of age, make or break moment. It is important to chose wisely. Once selected I ask you to mentally inhabit this chosen characters mind, see the world through their eyes, their fears and dreams, consider the road (experiences) they took to make them see it this way. What molded them? Remember, you are now sympathetic to this person, so think about portraying their vision of the same exact events. Everyone sees the same event from different points of view and has a different feeling about it. If your character "loses" in that moment, it must showcase him/ her as a noble victim to unfortunate circumstance etc.
Re-watch your movie and bring in the chosen scene printed at a good size with clarity.
Materials for Monday include Large paper (18 by 24 minimum- larger is better) for three pose drawing.
Charcoal, compressed, or color media (choice is yours) erasers, tape to tape it down.
The same model will take three different poses through class. You will draw each having considered composition. For homework that week you will create a narrative that combines those poses, links them. You will supply the background/ props etc.
