Project Proposal

After considering my options and narrowing down to my final two choices of either photography and illustration, i have decided to go down a completely different pathway, and make write a selection of poems in the POV of people living in the 15th Century including an accused witch, a soldier on the frontline of the Hundred Years War, accompanied by illustrations. The collection will consist of characters i will create based on facts of how witches/civilians/soldiers lived, survived etc.

Because of the fact that the project must in someway have audio included, with it being digital storytelling, i will hopefully manage to arrange to have poems or at least parts of some read aloud and recorded.

To begin with, i intend to research and find out everything i can about people in the 15th century. How and where they lived, what they did, (for witches, trials of accusation and the punishment for witchcraft) and so on.

At first i had been set on writing a journal/diary in the POV of a witch in the 15th century, but i have altered this idea so instead of focusing on just one aspect of the century, i will be able to incorporate different areas of such in my work, which will hopefully be easier with having more freedom to write about more than one thing. If the idea of a collection fails, i will attempt to create one single poem that will link important events in the century together and illustrate.
