Own Interpretation Of Soliloquy

Beginning Ideas for my own selection of images--

I will have two separate ideas of portrait and dance but hopefully both will portray the quotation.

For the portrait ideas that I have been thinking about are

• Model with hair (naturally messy)
• Red clothing
• Pale face (make-up or white face paint)
• Mascara running down face
• Use of prop- in hands rose- smelling by nose

For the dance images movements and ideas that I have thinking about are

• Stag leap with one arm holding rose and other arm covering face
• Barrel rolls
• Leaning on bent left leg and having the arms out to the right pushing 'something' away

Lighting, Set and Props for both-

• Rose- red
• situated in a dance studio
• No lights but test with flash on

Many of these ideas have different reasoning's for choosing them:

- To have my model with red clothing and holding a red rose shows her desperate characteristics of wanting to feel loved

- Make-up (white/pale/running mascara) shows also her vulnerability; the fact that she's heart broken and still in love.

- Having no lights gives the sense of abandonment and loneliness, but with the flash can highlight sections of her face and bring focus to the rose or her face.

- Having it in the dance studio isn't for any reason but it seems the most appropriate place to experiment with certain photos and lighting.

Below is an interpretation of the colour red, I feel this links in closely with the ideas and emotions that I feel comes across through the quote.

'Red can symbolize many things; from blood, to love, to infatuation. Basically red symbolizes strong emotions, or things of strong emotions rather than intellectual ideas. For example, red can symbolize excitement, energy, speed, strength, danger, passion, and aggression.'

'It is popularly felt that red, the colour of blood and fire, represents life and vitality. Red also signifies the colour of the sun: a symbol of energy, radiating its vitalizing life-force into human beings. Red is also looked upon as a sensual color, and can be associated with man's most profound urges and impulses.'
