Mrs Leaderman


How i see my mrs Leaderman

For her hair i wold like her to have Bantu knot. This is because it is a well known mature hair look that one can see on afro Caribbean women at home. I will also make it messy and neglected
but this might change depending on the state of my modals hair (if in braids or not)

Her face and body will be extremely duty and grassy. To achieve this i will use black and brown in my supper colour palette to make her skin dirty. I will also apple baby oil all over her body to achieve the grassy look.

Her skin will be also sweaty and mad, to achieve this i will mix up brown powder with water and applying it on the face and shoulders. I will also spry water on her skin before taking the picture.

Mrs Leaderman will have a bandage on her head and shoulders and chest. The bandages will be extremely dirty.

The art of Gothic horror

Witches at their incantations 1646died long before the revived fashion for all things gothic but his painting seem to have predicted the taste for the sublimeGlowering skies, gnarled trees craggy cliffs.

In this three-part series, Andrew Graham-Dixon looks back at 19th century Britain and its obsession with all things Gothic. The series explores how an inspired group of architects and artists spurned the modern age, turning to Britain’s medieval past to create some of Britain’s most iconic art works and buildings.
Inspired by the tumultuous Industrial Revolution, John Ruskin was among those who created architectural wonders, using the cutting edge of technology to create a brand-new British style of architecture. While in art and literature, the Gothic allowed Horace Walpole, Bram Stoker and Dickens to capture the terror, weirdness and social ills that plagued Victorian Britain.
Episode 1 of art of Gothic horror: 

Britain’s Midnight Hour begins in the middle of 18th century England, when an entirely surprising thing happened. Out of the age of Enlightenment and Reason a monster was born – a Gothic obsession with monsters, ghouls, ghosts and things that go bump in the night! From restrained aristocratic beginnings to pornographic excesses, this episode shows how the Gothic Revival cme to influence popular art, architecture and literature.

Episode 2

Episode two explores how, as the Industrial Revolution promised the modern world inexplicable wonders, Gothic art and literature became both backward and forward looking.
In her novel, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley warned of the dangers of how science could get out of control, while Sir Giles Gilbert Scott used Gothic architecture to memorialise Prince Albert as a medieval hero. This episode also show how poets indulged in hallucinatory drugs to reach new Gothic heights.

episode 3

In the final episode, Gothic fantasy horror is outstripped by real horror, as the truth of mechanised warfare in 1914 dawns on an innocent world.
The programme highlights how the language of Gothic would come to summarise the horrors of the 20th century – from Marx’s analysis of ‘vampiric’ capitalism, to Conrad’s dark vision of imperialism and T.S.Eliot’s vision of The Wasteland, a Gothic narrative seemed to make sense of the modern world more than any other.

How i visualise Claudia

Ideas
  For Claudia i visualise  her to be dirty and unkept.

Her hair will be curly and wild. to achieve this look i will curl my models hair and then back comb it to make it messy. i will also add lives and small tree branches on her hair to give it that wood like look.

For her fave i will use the dark browns and black in my makeup palette to make her look as is she has not taken a shower for a will.

I wont my model to were baggy shirts and also have a bandage on her arm.

Am going to use fake machete as a prop on the shoot because in the working dead most of the characters have one, its the way of protection.

my moodbord for Claudia

The final look. 







Claudia and Mrs. Lederman


My characters, Claudia and MRS Lederman is based on the working dead TV series.

Plot of the series the working Dead  


 

The working dead is Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirk-man, this gritty drama portrays life in the weeks and months following a zombie apocalypse. Led by police officer Rick Grimes, his family and a group of other survivors find themselves constantly on the move in search of a safe and secure home. But the pressure each day to stay alive sends many in the group to the deepest depths of human cruelty, and Rick discovers that the overwhelming fear of the survivors can be more deadly than the zombies walking among them.

The working dead is aimed at 13 to 30 year olds but older people also watch it.  

Claudia 


My character Claudio was left alone when her parent became workers after been batten by the zombies. she was rescued by MRS Lederman as a 17 year old and they have been sleeping in the forest and moving from place to place for more than five years. 

Claudia is fascinated by zombies and this has affected her imagination.
Her boyfriend Quinton changed depending on her mood. When she is happy he is human and when she is scared he is a zombie.




MRS Lederman


She is the next door neighbour who rescued Claudia from her zombie parents. Her role is to provide food and and clothing for Claudia. In this scene they will be living in the woods.
Mrs Lederman is in her late 40s and was once married and had a child but they became workers( zombies) and she had to put them down ( kill them)
She see Claudia as her daughter that she had lost, and fills the obligation to protect and love her. However she is also depressed and suicidal.

social class in the 1800s

In the 19th central social class was very important. there were three: the upper class, the middle class(working class) and the lower class. 

The upper class 

Those included

  •  the royal family
  • spiritual lords 
  • temporale lords 
  • great officers of the states - the Knights, Baronets, country gentleman.  

The upper class were also know as the aristocrats. Those were people who were of higher power and authority in the social starters. they were usually not involved in any manual work.

The middle/working class 

Those enclosed (was divided into 2 groups the upper middle class and the lower middle class) 

Upper middle class 

  • Doctors 
  • Loyers
  • Bankers 
  • Large business owners 
  • Engineers
  • Judges
The lower middle class 

  • Small business owner
  • Civil servants 
  • Shopkeepers     

Lower class 

Those included 

  • Factory workers 
  • Street sweeper 
  • Labor
  • Miners 
In the book great expectation by Charles dickens, we are introduced to the different classes. we see that pip is from a family of lower class people. 

(hat I was a common labouring-boy; that my hands were coarse; that my boots were thick; that I had fallen into a despicable habit of calling knaves Jacks; that I was much more ignorant than I had considered myself last night, and generally that I was in a low-lived bad way. (p.105)). 

its clear to me as the leader that in the 19th century different classes used to stick with there own kind. in great expectation we see this when pip's word is turned upside down when he fist meets miss havisham and realises that not everyone is like him, and there are people who were better off. he starts to compeer his life with what he has just seen and he is ashamed. we see letter on in the book this longing to become a gentleman and which is a direct results of spending time with miss Havisham and Estella. 

in the book we also see that miss havisham and  Bentley Drummle as been in the upper class.they are both very wealthy and also very abusive in there own ways. in Miss Havisham case she is more emotionally abusive (some might say she emotionally abuse Estella and pip) and in Bentley drummle is more physically abusive ( abusive towered Estella).


//Great expectation by Charles Dickens 



Married and Unmarried in 1800s

 The life for women in the early 1800s in Britain was that of many obligations and few choices.  Some even compare the conditions of women in this time to a form of slavery.  Women were completely controlled by the men in their lives. First, by their fathers, brothers and male relatives and finally by their husbands.  Their sole purpose in life is to find a husband, reproduce and then spend the rest of their lives serving him.  If a woman were to decide to remain single, she would be ridiculed and pitied by the community.
in the book Great Expectation by Charles Dickens, Miss Havisham is damped on her wedding day and as a result she decides to never live her house again. in the 1800s for a woman to not be married was seen as a shameful thing, there for Miss Havisham way of avoiding the humiliation though extreme was to hide in her house.
Also in the book great expectation we find out that Miss Havisham was a very wealthy woman, therefor if she were to get married her husband would have automatically gotten all she had.
