Adaptation Updates

Adaptation B:

After Friday's tutorial, I will be focusing on adapting the Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern) with main focus on the characters. It was advised that I look into the work's of Terry Gilliam, and Jan svankmajer for my inspiration. To create a world that has its dirt and color turned up to 11. A world that is disjointed and colorful.  

The two main characters in this book are somewhat interesting thanks to there use of different types of magics. One being more into illusion's and the other is more of a Ward, protective caster. These could really define the looks and attitudes of the characters into something that would fit well into Gilliam's worlds. Worlds that I am not that familiar with, having only seen The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009).

I am fairly familiar with Svankmajer's work so the next few days will be reading the Night Circus to get a better understanding of the characters and their world, and researching Gilliam some more to get a better feel of the worlds he creates, then seeing how I can mesh the two together into something Coherent. 

Adaptation A:

I need to continue researching some of the facts around the particular area of medicine I am looking at, as the information will be the critical part of the Info graphic. In terms of style it was suggested that a more modern approach would be interesting. Keeping the outdated practices but basing them all in a much more modern style to give the idea of an underlying, sinister feel to the whole project. Whilst also trying to project a little Horrible Histories or comedy into it.
