Project Brief

The project will be based upon the fictional book “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson. The tale is set in a wintry 19^th Century London and describes a male doctor with a split personality, one evil and the other good.

The piece will begin with the camera focussing on the character “Dr. Jekyll” in a window taking a potion. The camera will then pull out to show a panoramic view of London and will pan down to reveal that “Dr. Jekyll” has now transformed into the more sinister and hunched persona “Mr Hyde”, whom is walking into a dark alleyway.

The intended outcome of the project is to produce a visually stunning and realistic shot, which will last approximately 60 seconds long, based on the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The piece will incorporate live action shot on green screen with a cg environment of London by the use of camera projection techniques. The CG environment will be based upon the description of the London setting in the novel, and will be matte painted in order to give it a realistic Victorian ambience.
