For this test shoot, I repeated using the projector but this time I filmed the shoot. I also produced more images from each Baz Luhrmann film and included actions for my model to do during each shot.
In each shot it I was able to see what actions and images would work and what didn't. I was pleased to find that many of the actions I had asked my model to act out worked really well as they came off very natural and intriguing to watch. What didn't work were the opposite of engaging and now I know not to use them and maybe try and find another action to substitute for it. I didn't have a problem with any of the images that I used and am going to use all of them for my film.
What I noticed that was new to my project is the effect the jewellery my model was wearing. It wasn't planned to test jewellery in the film but I was surprised to see that the necklaces she wore stood out by sparkling against the projected image. They also made movements of their own as if they were coming to life. I think the necklaces have given a nice effect to each shot and now has reassured me that adding jewellery to the styling of each character is the way forward.
The reflection of the projector in my models eye is also a nice addition to the film and I will try and make sure I can catch the light in each character's eyes in my future shoots.
Overall I think this test shoot was a success as it has confirmed how each shot of my film will look. I was able to find new insights of the detail that can be seen in the styling and lighting against the eyes.
What I need to do next is plan the styling including what jewellery I will use for each look. I also need to move on to planning how I will move each shot to the next in the final outcome of the film.
