https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw Interpretation of a story by Taryn Tragesser en-us 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC 2026-03-15 00:00:18 UTC hello@padlet.com TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920635 When both of the women arrive back home, they are full of shock and joy. They jump around hugging each other and screaming. The emotion in the stories has completely shifted from sadness and fear to pure bliss that Tom's mother can walk again. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920635 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920636 The mood is still light in this scene, but the women are both spooked by the sight of the thief on the gravestone. It has the emotion of fear, but also urgency to get out of there. In the picture below the women are looking at each other how I imagine Tom and her mother would have before they took off running. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920636 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920637 The story turns to a lighter mood when Tom brings her mother back to the cemetery on her back. I would want the mood to noticeably lighten when this part begins. The lighting would come up and the characters would smile more than before. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920637 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920638 The emotion and tension we feel as Tom walks through the cemetery alone is fear and hesitation. Cemeteries are creepy anyway, and now she is walking through one alone at night. This gif also depicts how Tom feels when she sees the man atop her godfather's gravestone then runs away quickly.]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920638 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920639 The beginning of the story starts a little dark with the mention of funerals and death. Because of that emotion, I would want the start of the story to feel darker and heavier than the humorous ending of the story. Below is how I imagine the funeral would feel and look. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920639 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920641 Like I said before, his face is never really shown in the story. He remains more of a shadow, mysterious. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920641 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920643 While she is pictured quite funny in the story, I imagine she can also be stern as well. She looks more like that in the picture below, but she also has a humorous side. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920643 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920644 Tom and the rest of the characters are Irish (clearly). Tom and her mother live a simple life, so I don't want them to be all dressed up, but in normal clothes. We never really see the thief's face, so he is a shadowed man. Tom Daly is below. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920644 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920646 The cemetery is very old and creepy. It is foggy all the time and is scary to walk through. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920646 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920647 This is Tom's little cottage home he lives in with his mother. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920647 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920648 Tom Daly lives in Old Ireland in a tiny cottage home. She works in the huge Drummond Castle on the hill, though. The cemetery most of the story takes place in is a little creepy and old. The scenery is very green and rolling hills. Below is Drummond Castle. ]]> 2018-11-15 17:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/304920648 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305359812 The costumes would reflect old Irish outfits and clothes. The women would wear simple, long dresses and the men, though we don't see much of the men in story, would wear simple pants, shirts, and boots. The costumes also reflect the time period and how the people dressed during this time in Ireland. Below is Tom's work dress she wears while at Drummond Castle. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:19:33 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305359812 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305361172 Tom's mother is bed ridden for the majority of the story, so her costume will reflect house clothes, made for sleeping. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305361172 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305364554 The thief remains shadowed, but would wear simple, dark clothes to go unnoticed and be not seen while out at night. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305364554 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305366316 The beginning of this story starts out dark, as I've said before. The middle has more of a creepy, foggy feel to it. The end is where it lightens up and things become happier. The temperature would start cold and gradually get warmer as things start to turn for the better in the story. The lighting would help with this as it would also gradually get lighter as the story moves along. Below is the how the beginning of the story would look/feel. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305366316 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305368432 The middle is more creepy and foggy to reflect the cemetery and the "ghost" on the gravestone. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305368432 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305369526 The end of the story is where things look up. It is not focused of the death of the godfather and the cemetery anymore, but on Tom's mother's newfound ability to walk. The women are happy and joyous. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305369526 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305370671 During the funerals at the beginning of the stories, traditional Celtic funeral music would be playing. There are two funerals at the beginning of the story, so this music would reflect those. The music would have a little but of a modern twist, though so audiences today will enjoy it more. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305370671 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305372360 As Tom walks through the cemetery alone, creepy music would play to give that eerie feeling we all get as we watch movies with scenes like this or go through graveyards ourselves. The music also builds as the conflict in the story does. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305372360 TarynTragesser https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305374323 After the women have encountered the "ghost" and run home the music would shift to happier, more excited music. The women are thrilled that Tom's mother can walk again, and the story has gone from sad to happy. The music would reflect those shifts. I would want this music to remain in the same Celtic theme as at the beginning, but also be more modern like the funeral music. ]]> 2018-11-16 17:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/TarynTragesser/xi9q8sjnpwiw/wish/305374323
