Jane Austen Project: Persuasion

Katherine created and produced every fiber of this project because she LOVES period films! She adapted two scenes from one of her favorite Jane Austen novels, Persuasion; she learned how to sew and then made an historically accurate dress; she hired a wonderful calligraphy artist for Wentworth's letter; she rented equipment from Film Independent and Samy's Camera; she called in favors for crew; she even learned Adobe Premier Pro so she could be the one to edit. She hopes you enjoy these short scenes as much as she did creating them.

Scene 1

The first scene occurs earliest in the story. Anne, the unmarried daughter of a wealthy English family, is alone in the forest when she overhears a conversation between the man she loves and his potential wife.

Considering Katherine filmed in Los Angeles for less than 500 bucks, she thinks she did a pretty good job of conveying the English countryside.

Scene 2

This second scene is Katherine's favorite of the two and it takes place near the end of Persuasion. In it, Anne reads a letter from the man she loves. Through penned words, he declares his affections and requites Anne's unrequited love. Katherine particularly enjoyed creating a romantic mood using period music, slow motion, and stylistic tricks she gleamed from watching too many BBC period shows.
