The theme of the poem was to utilise nature as a metaphor for the visual beauty of the subject. To represent that I used a mixture of videos displaying the aesthetics of nature in summer. A recurring technique was the dimming of videos to black and white as Shakespeare often refers to the beauty of the world coming to an end. The use of effects on the videos in specific sections are especially noticeable as I use a lot of bright and sudden effects to demonstrate the power and light of the “eye of heaven” which is Shakespeare’s metaphor for the sun. When referring to the changing of seasons, I used images of the exact same view to show how though it is the same setting, it never stays the same. Then comes the volta in lines 9-10 where I represent the start of the poem as a flickering light until now in line 9 and 10, the light has become steady. At this stage I speed up my voice and raise my tone in order to emphasise the change in the course of the poem. Throughout the video I make connections between metaphors such as that when Shakespeare writes of “eternal lines to time,” I recognise this as a reference to the lines of the poem matching the specific timing of a sonnet. To depict the concluding rhyming couplet I have chosen the placement of videos very carefully. The last video is of a flower being placed into the ground, and I chose this to represent the planting of eternity, but this video follows the essential image of the sonnet. The image of the sonnet placed before the video of the flower signifies how the sonnet is what gives life to the flower. In my reading of the poem, I prolong the speaking of the last two lines. My pause after saying “this” is to show that the word is referring to the sonnet itself and that the message is that the sonnet is what shall live on and it is only through the sonnet that the subject will come to life . Then a white flash concludes the video as if to signify the whiteness of eternity and heaven. Therefore the audience now understands that although the beauty of nature and summer may fade, the sonnet itself will always be read and so the subject of ‘Sonnet 18’ will live on through the imagination of the reader.
