This was the first official shoot for my film which I was quite nervous going into because as my previous test shoots always had an issue, I didn't want my first shoot to have any major problems either. Creating this shoot did leave me with a few things to think about.
Throughout the process of this shoot I was happy with the makeup and hair to begin with but as the film production started I already saw an issue with the makeup and had to change the lip colour. The results of this looked much better as I felt the original white/glitter lip looked abnormal and somehow out of place on camera. During this shoot I kept feeling like I was being too indecisive about how I wanted the shoot to look as I changed the background several times and how I wanted the image projected against my model's face. After re-evaluating how the shoot went though, I have come to realise that was only being experimental because I didn't go into the shoot knowing exactly what I wanted. I don't think there was anything wrong with this but I just hope that as I do each shoot, one by one I will be more understanding of exactly how I want each scene to be filmed. Being experimental as a positive will help me develop skills and recognise various techniques in cinematography. Although small steps, the experimentation I did while filming involved zooming in for close ups as well as focusing with the camera. By doing this, I thought it would add more creativity in this character's part of the film as I had only given her 2-3 actions to do. While filming my model I did feel that I managed to capture some beautiful moments in just a couple seconds of some of these clips. This is because I my model came of very natural while filming and the directing was very easy with her.
I think for the next shoot I should continue to be experimental as this could result in more techniques that can help make my film look better.
