New project, new blog.

So, a whole new blog devoted to this project.. I can't tell if i'm more excited or daunted!

     Our brief in a nutshell is to create our own interpretation look for both Estella and Miss Havisham from Great Expectations, showcasing hair and makeup skills we're learning along the way and then pitch our ideas. I was quite excited about this project when we were introduced to it, I think it'll be interesting to try out some completely new techniques, experiment with age and see how different all our interpretations of the same characters will be. The thing I'm finding most challenging at the moment is containing all the snippets of ideas in my head and trying to sift through them in an organised manner! I'm looking forward to finding out more about the characters, seeing how other productions have portrayed them, and also to building my own interpretation of the characters.

      I'm also looking forward to learning Victorian hair (I'm finding hair more interesting than i had first thought) and also learning different aging techniques etc.

     Our visit from Kate Benton from PAM was very inspiring, might write a post about it soon actually as I found it very interesting and thought it was a good kick start to the project!

    Oh and just a quick explanation of the name of this blog, I decided I didn't want to just call it Great Expectations project or something like that because personally I didn't find that very inspiring.. I decided on "Love her, love her, love her." because I thought it was quite a poignant line from the book and also a line which I thought would be well known or memorable by readers of the book. I also picked it because I wanted to use something that would encourage me to think about what lines like that meant to the characters.. hmmmm...
