Production: Posters Complete + Minor Set Props

Week 6:

I was finally able to organize all posters the way I like!

I will explain their purpose :)

Album Covers

“Untitled” (Song) - The Cure

The track “Untitled” speaks of someone close who has passed away. The speaker is telling the story of not having the opportunity to tell that person how much they meant.

"never quite said what I wanted to say to you...."

The song is in the album Disintegration, which in its entirety, is an ode to depression. After the loss of a close someone, spiraling into depression is inevitable.

“The Black Parade” (Album) - My Chemical Romance

The album's main narrative is about a character known as "The Patient," who is dying of cancer while reflecting on the moments leading up to his passing. Although it is not mentioned in the film opening, if it were a full film, then it would be specified that Isabel's brother died of cancer.

“The Only Hope For Me Is You” (Song) - My Chemical Romance 

The overall theme in the song is finding a sense of freedom and using creativity and art as a weapon against worry, which is what Isabel does. Throughout her wall and desk, it is seen that she tangles herself in art. Art is seen as both a pastime and a form of non-verbal expression.

Drawings

It can be said that Isabel drew how she feels, and as it looks like, exhausted.

Being in a state of disarray.

Shows interest in the punk scene. Painting over a newspaper also shows her ignorance of what is currently going on around her.

Illustration of the character Frank from the 2001 Sci-fi/Drama film "Donnie Darko." 

 

Evidently shows a liking towards "dark" dispositions.

A childhood drawing depicting a full happy family. Isabel keeps it before her as a reminder of the simpler, more happy times. The reason for the tape being in front is that it acts as an outlier that lures greater attention. 

_________

Overall, Isabel's interests stem primarily from the 80's-00's media. This shows that she is more interested in dwelling on the past than letting go and enjoying the present.

Set Props So Far...

Here are the set props I added on top of the posters.

These crosses further establish the fact that Isabel comes from a Christian family. 

There will be many more set props visible when filming.
