So I will cut the bullshit and honestly state that I did not read this book (probably should have) and totally rushed it at the last minute from the buzz of To Kill a Mockingbird.
I always find that in last minute situations, keeping things simple is the best solution.
Plot
Wealthy family living in Kansas are the victims of a brutal, out of the blue murder. Truman Capote becomes extremely interested in the story and heavily researches the event in great detail.
My Concept
I wanted to communicate a really 'eerie' and mysterious atmosphere through composition and content and I have done this by creating a wide angle shot of the crime scene, the house.
Development
Final Design
I'm not entirely sure that I can reflect upon this particular brief on a positive note. It was done so quickly and almost carefree that in hindsight I am questioning why I actually spent time working on this if I didn't put in 100%?
I suppose not all pieces of work and commissions I do in the future will fill me with the same sense of pride and sentiment as others, though. One thing I have learnt from this is that if push comes to shove, I can meet a deadline quickly, although I honestly wouldn't feel completely confident putting this in my portfolio as I couldn't 'sell it' or explain it with passion and enthusiasm to a client. However, I am pleased with the final outcome and can see this piece as a practice piece.
