Red Riding Hood | Fairly Strange Tales

The fourth instalment of Fairly Strange Tales. *OPEN ME * http://fairlystrangetales.wix.com/fin... Here we meet Red Riding Hood and see what went on behind the scenes when producing the content for the professional images. For Joanna's final major project on her BA (hons) degree in Specialist Hair & Media Makeup. Video directed and edited by Joanna Stokes/Strange. Footage shot by Joanna Stokes/Strange & Shawn Bishop. Model is Joanna Stokes/Strange. Assistant is Emily Hamilton. This is a gruesome idea that really used to scare me, although having done much more research on it since I have found out the origins of the tale were far more gruesome. Originating in France as a tale to warn young girls against paedophiles and various other brutal themes, the Grimm Brothers adapted it to appeal to a much wider audience, around the time that fairytales became more for children than adults. I decided to twist this story more so than any of the others, to include once again, a personal negative experience as well as injecting some of my love of mythological creatures. Using the on-going theme from so many original fairytales in which a male figure has control over the feeble female, shedding a very bad light on the ‘weaker sex’. Red Riding Hood was always referred to as ‘little’, which I personally find offensive, no matter what age she was when the event happened. I chose to show my version of Red Riding Hood as the hero. She comes back to get revenge on the wolf, but it takes an unexpected turn for the worse when she realises she has come away from the battle with a bite, thus becoming infected with lycanthropic transformation. Fairly Strange Tales is a creative imagery based project, derived from personal experience, reflections on today's society and a never ending love of fairy tales. The inner workings of Joanna Strange's brain have cascaded down into every facet of this work. Fairy tales are magical ideals that all of us can relate to in one way or another. As a child Joanna was brought up reading numerous fairy tales and learning about interesting and exciting stories from around the world. The six tales and traditions featured are some of her personal favourites, combined with a darker, physchological twist. Joanna's motivation was to combine fairy tales with the ugly truths apparent in today's society. Mental health and addiction are heavily featured throughout, as Joanna is a strong believer in voicing these issues and has faced many throughout her life. When choosing the theme she wanted to focus on turning personal negative experiences into a positive creative outlet. Proving that as inidividuals we can harness our bad times and turn them into works of art. Designing and executing each step of the project from set design to video editing, makeup to photography and so much more. Her amazing team worked alongside her to help achieve her aim. Warning! Fairly Strange Tales may not help you live happily ever after...
