PMD1/2 A Quest for Atmosphere: Responding to Gothic Architecture

This session was about looking at setting in Gothic Literature, to aid our understanding for when we finally looked at deciphering the Mask of the Red Death. We were shown an image of an example of Gothic architecture and were asked to pick from a selection two adjectives to describe it, and then add two of our own choosing. 

Accommodating

Strong

Melancholy

Imperial

From these words, we got into groups and were tasked with creating a still image for each.
Overall these still images would have much more potential for exploration, were there more performers available to contribute to the scene.

Following this, we linked three of the still images, to create a space of which our teacher could walk through (as depicted in the video below). Overall I do not think this is a successful response, for the transitions are messy, and the scene lacks creativity. I would not use this method of interacting with the audience, as I feel there are more effective means of portraying mood and meaning
