For this project I chose the 1995 film Clueless directed by Amy Heckerling.
I began by considering the ways in which the film could be translated into new material.
My first thought was to create an illustrated diary, written from the perspective of Cher Horowitz, the main character of the film.
I then explored the idea of creating a yearbook using a series of polaroids that were taken of the cast both in and out of costume.
I then turned to the films’ soundtrack and thought that it would be interesting to translate the soundtrack into a narrative of the film.
The idea would be to replace song lyrics with dialogue from the script, and cast the characters as bands and singers.
The form of the project would be a series of album covers, front and back, inspired by the genre of the original song.
