Another group meeting, almost there…
So today we had another group meeting to further discuss and finalise our ideas for the shoot. We had already decided that the concept for the shoot would be based on this kind of feeling of dependancy, and not knowing what to do with your life as far as education goes, with all the factors surrounding the difficulties of taking up further education etc.
As far as styling goes, we had decided on very minimal styling, focusing more on plain clothes and underwear to try and create something of a delicate and almost vulnerable appeal to the shoot.
Our original idea was to shoot in a bed and breakfast hotel. We had looked online at some of these in Blackpool and had seen some pretty good competitors, that is until we found a much better, more suited, and far more convenient location:
Last week I did a shoot for a 4th year fashion & brand student, using the above location. Gavin assissted me and was also at hand to create a behind the scenes video of the shoot, but we realised how perfect this room would be for our shoot for this assignment. Rather than using a B&B, which already has a recognised set of cliches and impressions associated with it, we decided that this room would better reflect the concept of our shoot. The blank white walls and concrete floor are not dissimilar to those of an art gallery, and seeing as the props we are using for the shoot are more focused on the arts subjects we thought that this would be perfect.
The location has been secured and sorted for this friday, due to the beautiful ambient light that hits this room from the window, It looks like we will be working with 90% ambient light for this shoot, with maybe a little bit of fill flash, and also using a mix of digital and 120 film.
