FICTIONAL ADAPTATION: PROPOSAL FEEDBACK

I received my feedback from my proposal from Mike in a one-to-one session.

Mike explained that he found my proposal very broad and that there was a lot of 'maybe' or 'possibly' and I didn't have a solid idea for this adaptation. He explained that I clearly haven't researched into the meaning of the adaptation and the history behind it. He also explained that I haven't thought enough about the visuals I could get out of the sonnet. Mike explained that if I want to show that this girl hasn't died, maybe showing a graveyard isn't the best idea because a graveyard symbolises death. Which isn't what I want to do within this adaptation.

Mike suggested that to get a real idea and inspiration for the adaptation by researching into the author and the origins of the sonnet as well. Mike did say it was originally written for the authors friend who and lost someone. As well, he recommended that I research into when the sonnet is often read and what events it is often used at.

I also want to research into other adaptations it's been made using this sonnet so that I can see what has already been done and try and come up with something more original.
