The First…
So it’s still a little rough around the edges, but here’s the first one, more or less how I want it to be. Two more to follow!

These are the Quotes.
I will be using three of these four quotes. I feel like these best communicate the mood and tone of the novel.
*************************
“When a horse falls, foam comes out of it’s mouth. When it falls, the legs of the horse thrash and the horse is no good, so somebody shoots the horse. The horse turns into glue. A machine puts the glue into bottles. Some of the bottles have nipples and the children squeeze the nipples to get the glue out and stick bits of paper onto cards. Glue gets on the children’s hands and the children eat the glue. The children become the horse.”
***********************
“When things happen to people, they radiate a light. Because they’ve got a picture caught inside them. Because they were there and you weren’t. And because you’ve only got a piece. And because all you can do is shrink and blow up that piece.
Until it explodes.”
*************************
“Those eyes. The colour of the sky before it turns black. It wanted to crawl inside those eyes and sit there.
He never talked to the girl. If he ever did, It would faint. Die. Implode. Freeze into a cube. It didn’t care. He made it want to sit in flowers.”
*************************
“He’ll pinch a cigarette between his fingers. He’ll take a drag, blow that drag between his lips. He’ll look at the girl with eyes the colour of the sky before it turns black and he will see heaven, and the pictures of all those other girls floating inside his head will blow away like clouds of the cigarette and he’ll see only the girl inside himself and the world will stop.
Love will whirl through his mind like little tornadoes.”

Grad Show ate my project 2…
…but here’s where Im at so far:
I’ve decided to create 3 short trailers with 3 different quotes from the book (The Tracey Fragments) all with the same style. The initial footage has been captured and I’ve started putting together the final clips.
Here’s a my first rough test…
…and some alternate experiments with the same footage.
Next step is to add the quote. Not sure yet if it will be in narrative or visual form. Will experiment with both.
