This shoot involved creating the Moulin Rouge Design 5 and filming her reactions to the romantic scenes of this film. When creating the look I needed to apply gems to my model's face and with the final outcome I came to realise how controlled this looked and had not been applied in a free-flowing way. I thought I'd wait and see how this part of the design looked on camera and it looked fine but could be ore exaggerated to refer back to the overtop directing of Luhrmann's films.
During the filming, I noticed that my model's acting came off very stiff and not natural looking. I tried to fix this problem immediately by getting her to relax and change the way she played out the actions I directed. At the time I thought I had resolved this issue with the shoot but after looking through the clips we had made together, I realised there was not enough material to use for the final film cut as my model was too stiff in the majority of these video clips.
In this scene the character is drinking using a cup with straw prop and what I wanted to capture far away and up close is the character drinking from the cup. The problem that has occurred with this idea is that when she lift the drink to her mouth there is a shadow going over her mouth. This shadow blocks what I am trying to show in the film. I need to attempt to think of how I can show this part of the film without it being blocked by shadows as I think it is a relevant part of the naturalness I am including in this film.
I will need to reshoot this scene using a different model that can play this part in a more natural style.
