My Introduction to Great Expectations





My Introduction to Great Expectations

In this blog, I will be showing all my research and development process of my uni project- Great Expectations. This project is a six week project and we are asked to create our own characters of Miss Havisham and Estella. 

As I have never heard of this novel before so I will have to roughly do some research about the Great Expectations in order to get an idea of what the story is about. I started by watching an episode of the Great Expectations which is produced by BBC TV program. I watched both 1981 and 2011 versions. I have to say that I am really enjoyed watching them! They gave me a lot of inspirations and ideas of how can I create those two characters (Miss Havisham and Estella). Especially by the lines that Miss Havisham speaks in the episodes,  it got me thinking so deeply into Miss Havisham this character. However, for Estella I was not inspired so much from the film. I think for Estella I will start researching women in the 1800s Victorian era, just to get a general idea of how the Victorian women lives and dress in that period time.

Overall, I am really excited about this project but I will need to have a good time management as there are many other things going on in my other uni projects.
