Macbeth Noir

Instructions

1. Choose 9 iconic moments - the scenes that for you, are the most powerful. (this is called a "Literary 3 X 3"). Be sure to have at least 1 scene per act (there are 5 acts).

2. Take photos that will illustrate these scenes or quotes. You are encouraged to think metaphorically as well as literally. Stage them with drama! Get macro (close-up)

3. Match your photos with TEXTUAL EVIDENCE (the context, direct quote, and Act/ Scene reference)

4. Use a NOIR filter (or other dramatic black and white treatment) for effect. Option: use spot color on a black and white photo (such as red).
