ADAPTATIONS


6/15

The House

Suggests evil in the face of the house, face of Hill House seemed awake, with awatchfulness from the blank windows, it was enormous and dark, looking down over.veranda, the drive turned off on either side, to encircle the house, heavy iron knocker

that had a Childs face,

The Main Hall

The hall in which she stood was overfull of dark wood and weighty carving, dim under theheaviness of the staircase, which lay back from the farther end. Above there seemed to be

another hallway, going the width of the house; she could see a wide landing and then,across the staircase well, doors closed along the upper hall. On either side of her now were

great double doors, carved with fruit and grain and living things.

The Blue RoomThere were blue dimity curtains over the two windows, which looked out over the roof ofthe veranda onto the lawn, and a blue figured rug on the floor, and a blue spread on the bedand a blue quilt at the foot. The walls, dark woodwork to shoulder height, were blue figured

paper above, with a design of tiny blue flowers, wreathed and gathered and delicate.

EXCERTS


7/15

When reading my extracts I envisioned how dark the environments must beand to do this I had to take into consideration the perspectives of my

environments as that is the key, the scenes need a feeling of intimidation and

to feel as if they are watching over you, if my images dont portray this thenthe concept would just fall through.

The extract helped a lot, finding the time period so that I could find a soliddesign and know what type of architecture and furniture would be required

which is Victorian helped to plan out my scenes.

The colour palette that I would need for my environments would need to bedull and low toned colours to give it a haunting feel.

I really like these Lekti the way the Blue reflects off a lot of the images you havefound look really effective and I love the brightness of it all, these must give you

some really good ideas.

Lekti replies with: Lekti Rose Jacobs 5 October 2012 20:37 Thanks George, Ihave a pretty good idea of what I want to do indeed. Its starting to show in the

thumbnails I have been doing.(will be uploading them this weekend)

HeyLekti 9 really stands out to me as the perspective seems to give it a spookykind of feel, it feels like its at the same height as me like I'm walking through it

myself it pretty cool. I also really like 16 for the lighting and shading you had doneon the rocks.

Feedback Lekti has given: I really like no2, the gate has a very dark and scarylook to it. And the background and foreground contrast each other nicely.
