Creating GIFs from penny dreadful stories has been the starting point for more ideas around the themes of ambiguity and mystery. The subtle movements included within the GIFs helped me to think about reducing down more predictable imagery of what people associate with a ghost story. I think so far, I have been using more obvious interpretations to note down what I think about in relation to penny-bloods.
Developing my practical work and thinking about the final outcome, I want to move away from the typical colours and motifs I associate with this subject matter and start thinking about the images in a way that they will be more open to interpretation, as in accordance with my research. Also, the penny-blood stories are more likely to be known to a viewer already, therefore influencing their ideas, such as 'The Flying Dutchman'. As I continue I want to create scenes that imply a more suggestive and less definite meaning.
