Challenge: Shakespeare
Take a unique photograph depicting a line from one of the Bard's plays or sonnets.

Extra rule: Title must be the line illustrated.

What do ya'll think?

clever but some of the titles might be pretty long...

Some of the titles now are pretty long...
Anyway, you'd just need a short snippet, not the whole shebang.

"All the world's a stage"
"To be, or not..."
"What light through yonder window..."

Stuff like that.

There's a good interpretation of that line.

Oooooo. I didn't think about MacBeth.
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog"

This could get messy.

I have the complete works and the three witches from Macbeth are what first came to mind.

Me too, but I guess I'm in more of a Hamlet mood this evening.
Here's a question
Hamlet: Mel Gibson or Kenneth Branagh?
05/27/2005 09:59:47 PM · #12
Mel Gibson.

This would be an almost-free study however.
05/27/2005 10:02:01 PM · #13
Hey, as long as it can be tied to a line...

Besides, I think some of the best photos show up in free studies. This would just have some *minor* restraints - and maybe not even then if you can figure out a line to go with it!

Of those two, Mel Gibson. Kenneth Branagh doesn't give me the right impression for Hamlet though I haven't seen that version of the movie.

edit: I started on one thought and changed my mind halfway through

No more of a Free Study than the movie titles challenge shortly after I joined. I'm all for it, I think it's a fine idea. I've thought about proposing a challenge based on any line of poetry, and others have sugested song titles I believe...

Branagh gave a decent performance, but the style they chose to take with the play was very cold and distant. I didn't feel like it had the 'in-your-face' emotional impact of the Mel Gibson version.
Frankly, both actors are, IMHO, too old for the part. Hamlet should be Orlando Bloom or thereabouts in age.

Back on topic, I just had a thought. Would SC have to verify that the line being protrayed is definately Shakespearean? Or would it be taken on faith?
Argh. Now I'm coming up with a reason this might be a problem challenge.

That would be a kool idea....I'm loving this DPC website. One suggestion though...more challenges!
05/27/2005 11:27:27 PM · #19
"Desdemona come hither...."

I think it's an awesome idea.

My fav rendition of the Bard is a tape of Richard Burton playing King Lear copied off of PBS.
