This particular project will allow me to develop my ability to translate text into visual representations of a character and their personality. The book 'Great Expectations' has been taken from text to film many times before and it is essential that I create my own original ideas. It is important for me to focus on the original text in order to get a strong grasp on each character, although watching visions on the film and TV series will allow me to see how other make-up artist's and designers have interpreted the book.
