Summer

Project

BRIEF

Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers was one of the first publishing phenomena. Published in monthly installments, its main literary value and appeal was formed by its numerous memorable characters, drawn comically, often with exaggerated personalities. Dickens was well known to act out characters he was writing about in the mirror and then describe himself as the character in prose in his novels. They were usually characters that he had observed in his day-to-day life and then re-imagined for the page. For your summer project we want you to take on the role of another character. It may be human or non-human, factual or fictional. Whatever you decide, you must present to us their imagined interests and lifestyle, their likes and dislikes. Create a short narrative, take us into their lives and show us the world through their eyes. It could be humorous, tragic or surreal but it must be inventive.

I've made up the continuity of the video I'm going to create. It's kind of an idea sketch. It's made out of focus.
