Major project #9 project 2 draft (2-1)

project 2. Black swan

my second project is about a film 'Black swan'

when I thought about second internal conflict, this film also fit in my project as well.

I can see that black and white contrast from the story. so I could imagine various concept about it.

Black swan is the story about a conflict of artistic perfection.

'BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter’s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.'

First of all, I watched the film 'black swan' through the youtude.

inspired from the film, I started initial idea sketch.

This is my first idea sketch.

Next, I started making images.

To take shape of first idea, I need swan silhouette and Nina's.

I found swan picture from Google, I used quick selection tool.

 

Next, I opened the illustrator to make silhouette image.

made new page and 'place' the swan picture.

  Then, I used 'image trace' tool as same as using to first draft.

 

did same process to Nina's figure.

Next, I was back to Photoshop to combine two images.

I tried to express the process of changing from with swan to black swan.

 I tried reverse version.
