In terms of titles, I spoke with my Nan to get some ideas of what would be interesting and what titles I could use which would give the audience an idea of what the project was about without giving it away to much.
These are the ideas that came out of our talk
For the image
The Unforgivable.
Prometheus’ flames.
Zeus’ orders.
Disobeying direct orders.
The Unforgiving.
All the evils of the world.
Pandora’s box.
Disobedience.
Curiosity killed the cat.
I decided to go with ‘The Unforgiving.’ as this describes how Zeus’ felt about Prometheus’ disobedience and so he was not able to forgive him, or man for his actions. I feel this was the most mysterious and the strongest words to describe the situation. Although I was rather fond of a few of the other titles, such as ‘Pandora’s box’ as it is simple and very self explanatory however I feel through having the written text which goes with the display, it is explained in there and I do not want it to be to repetitive. I also liked the title ‘Curiosity killed the cat. ‘ as I feel it works as a metaphor for how Pandora’s curiosity got the better of her and she eventually opened the box/ pithos which sent out all of these evils, however I did not feel it was as mysterious as ‘The Unforgiving.’ which is why I decided to go with this title.
For the Zoetrope
The plan.
Zeus’ plan.
The beginning of the end.
The suffering begins.
Zeus’ cunning plan.
For this piece, I decided to go with the title ‘Zeus’ cunning plan.’ as I felt it was a good title to explain the meaning behind the piece which shows Pandora’s box opening over and over again. I found the work ‘Cunning’ to be very appropriate as he was very cunning in the way that instead of letting his rage get the better of him, he thought up this brilliant, yet evil plan on how to make the human race, and Prometheus suffer for their actions.
Overall, I think these titles work well and they gave a good idea of the project without giving away to many details.
