Week 8: Nick- "Pushing Daisies"




As I was looking through the news, I couldn't really find anything pertinent, but I found my inspiration for this assignment while I was catching up with my TiVo. During the Pushing Daisies episode from last week entitled "Bad Habits", the main characters (private investigators with one of them being able to bring the dead back to life) investigated a death at a nunnery in the mountains. Many of the scenes took place in their church and I saw many of the same structural aspects we discussed in class. The nunnery resembled the basilicas we discussed while, during a heated confrontation in the church, I noticed two aisles, a nave, a  and an apse. This was really interesting as it provided the actors with varied blocking and used these structural features to create a more compelling scene. I tried to find the best pictures of the nunnery resembling a basilica, specifically the Old Saint Peter's Basilica.
