ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN
MOVIE POSTER PROJECT
IDEAS
This project should be well-planned and well-executed. Keep the focus on your theme. I am looking for a very classy end-product. Please choose wisely.
It is due on __Wednesday 10/12____. If you have another creative idea for the exploration of your theme that is not listed below, see me about it.
Your project must be accompanied by a ½ page reflection on the choices you made throughout the project.
MOVIE POSTERS:
You are
to create a movie poster advertising a film version of Huck Finn. You can
assume that your casting budget is unlimited and that any actor/actress you want
will really want the part. You are to choose 2-3 of the characters from
the novel and cast them with today's stars. You need to provide a picture
of the stars, and the stars should have the proper "look" for the
character. Also, you are not permitted to use people cast in actual film
versions of the novel.
In addition to
the characters, you have to choose a central image to represent the novel as a
whole. This could be a symbol, setting, scene from the novel, whatever.
You must
also provide "critic's blurbs". You may create your own or look
up what actual critics have said about the novel to include on the poster.
If you make them up, you need to vaguely summarize the essence of the novel.
For example, students might say something like, "A tale of true
friendship..."
REFLECTION PAPER
After
designing and creating the poster, you need to write a 1/2 page summary
explaining why you chose the characters, the central image, and
the "critic's blurbs" that you selected. The movie poster
is graded separately from the justification.
