I think this adaption of the novel was very accurate in terms of the Victorian period. The scenery created what I believe to be an accurate depiction of what life would have Victorian England, particularly for the working class, this portrayed in scenes with the character of Pip.
Miss Havisham:
The role of Miss Havisham was taken on by Helena Bonham Carter. I really like this actress as I believe she is one of the type of actresses who is able to take on almost any role and capture the audience's attention each time.
I felt that the Carter did the role of Miss Havisham justice, however because I feel that she is very used to playing these types of quirky characters, I don't think her playing Miss Havisham would have been that memorable.
I like the styling of makeup and hair in this adaption of the novel. They are what I expected them to be, the hair is messy, Miss Havisham looks tired, worn down and somewhat crazy. Her skin is pale and her eyes are sunken looking. I think when creating my own version of Miss Havisham I will aim to take some of these techniques into consideration.
