For this project, we have to create an adaptation to the existing Spanish play changing the time period and location. To begin with, I had two strong initial ideas which I found hard to decide between. One of them was to base it in modern day London focusing on the increase in knife crime throughout the city. The second idea which I finally chose was to base it on The Salem Witch Trials.
I found this era of time fascinating as the research opened up a whole new world to me. I did not have much knowledge on The Salem Witches before.
I wanted to gather interior and exterior features of the periodically accurate houses to use when designing my own. I took inspiration of the Johnathon Corwin's Salem Witch house for my Main Scene design.
I also watched parts of the movie Salem Witch Trials to get an understanding and feel of what life was like back in 1692.
Overall the feedback of my idea proposal was positive. However, one thing mentioned was that there shouldn't be any real-life witchcraft magic and instead leave it to the audience's interpretation as to whether they are deemed witches or not.
