It is my intention to create several short stings to promote the fictitious release of Agatha Christie books.
Each sting shall carry a similar aesthetic to my prints making use of textural and colour devices to communicate the more intangible themes such as mystery and death.
The animations will be loop-able so that they might be used for web-based advertisements; for example a single sting may involve the countryside rolling past a carriage to create the impression of long-distance travel, or perhaps the ocean waves rolling on the shores of an exotic beach.
I aim to impart some sense of time passing within the short animations, I hope to achieve this using weather effects or the appearance of the sun setting. In addition, the imagery will make use of perspective and framing to communicate a sense of isolation and brooding threat.
The stings shall be targeted at an audience somewhat familiar with the Agatha Christie canon, even if that means having watched one or two episodes of Poirot. I hope to move away from the claustrophobic sets of television associated with the screen-based representations and introduce the sublime scale of locations within Agatha Christie books.
Printed Pictures Project Proposal
It is my objective to create nine screen-printed covers of a select few books by Agatha Christie.
Though this is heavily trodden ground, I desire to create unique covers which tie directly to the stings I shall be creating.
Similarly to the stings, I aim to communicate the darker themes of Agatha Christie books and avoid the established perception of her books being cosy and dated. I shall make use of colouration, texture and composition to extenuate themes of death, violence and unseen threat.
As with the stings, I hope to involve an audience that is familiar with Agatha Christie canon, but make to covers accessible to a younger audience. I find that her books are associated with elderly readers, while the books are actually quite timeless in how they address the human condition.
