About the Author: Project Proposals

Project Proposal: Production and Presentation of my Moving Pictures

I intend to produce:

 A 15 second sting based on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. It will be created using After Effects and contain sound, be two colours, and contain some element of the print-work that will go alongside it. 

 The content will focus mostly on (identify 3 specific themes, texts or concepts):

 - Mostly on Edgar Allan Poe's life more than his work

- Somewhat based on his alcoholism

- Mystery, a main aspect about Poe's work & concerning his death, I think the imagery and feel should be mysterious

I will be aiming to communicate (specific themes and messages):

- A dark, gloomy, gothic atmosphere

- facts about Edgar Allan Poe (his alcoholism)

- Mystery (again) 

 

To an Audience of (Three characteristics): 

- Fans of Edgar Allan Poe

- Gothic Types

- Internet dwellers (as that is where the sting will be featured)

Project Proposal: Production and Presentation of my Printed Pictures

I intend to produce:

A two colour screenprinted publication, probably a concertina book, based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Turning Poe's stories and Poems into spooky 'beer label' designs, and compiling them in a book.

 The content will focus mostly on (identify 3 specific themes, texts or concepts):

 - Edgar Allan Poe's stories and Poems including The Raven, Lenore, The Tell Tale Heart etc

- Poe's Alcholism

-

I will be aiming to communicate (specific themes and messages):

-A list of notable works by Poe

- Kind of dark humour? There will be puns, but the whole thing being based on Poe's alcholism is a bit dark. 

- Cool gothic imagery. 

 

To an Audience of (Three characteristics): 

- Fans of Edgar Allan Poe

- Gothic Types

- Perhaps beer enthusiasts? - obviously the beer isn't real... but it could grab the attention of people who like the artsy labels.
