Lou Elliott-Design With the Past

Posted by Lorna Elliott in CTE Senior Capstone · Ustaris/Ugworji/Spry · Wed on

My Capstone project was designed to consist of three parts. Two designed costumes, two completed costumes, and a screenplay in which the costumes would be worn by characters within. Through all of these things I wanted to explore the way that art methods as well as style fade in and out, and how older mediums are recycled over time. My costumes in particular are inspired by the elaborate details of Victorian era costumes. Though back then the costumes would have been used in party settings or possibly on stage, my CTE program requires my project to relate to film specifically hence the my aspired screenplay utilizing my costumes in picture.

Due to overestimation of my ability to use time wisely, I was only able to complete about half of what I set out to do. I will be presenting two designs for a costumes as well as one fully completed costume. Through these designs you can see how they were made for their greatest advantage to be on screen.

Melanie and I wrote a missing scene for the play Macbeth. We know about Lady Macbeth's death was a suicide, we decided to add more to it. This scene is centered around this specific event. To understand the scene you have to look beyond Lady Macbeth's personality and look at her relationships and hot they affected her mental health. In the scene, Lady Macbeth sees an apparition of Lady Macduff. after they talk, lady macduff is able to convince Lady Macbeth to jump out of a window to end her suffering.
