Shoot 2: The Great Gatsby Design 7

This shoot involved filming The Great Gatsby Design 7 - a 1920's party girl. When preparing for this shoot it was a chance to test my skills in hair and create waves which I haven't done for a hairstyle before. I had practiced before hand but still struggled to get the waves right on one side of the head. I asked my tutor for some guidance in order to create successful hair waves. She was really helpful and the result of the style came out really nicely. When designing the makeup, I wanted the outcome to have a heavy metallic eye and small doll like lips to match the typical 20's girl. I think this was one of the first times I was really excited with the outcome as I successfully created without any issues and it made me feel really confident within myself. After I had styled my model the overall look made me so happy as I felt I had matched the makeup, hair and styling together really well.
During filming I felt that this shoot was about getting the right image to project onto the character as some were too dark against the model. This has made me aware that the lighting from the projector will differ throughout each shoot I do, but the images that I project need to still balance out a clear portrayal of the character that is on screen. After looking back over this shoot I do think I should have adjusted the camera at higher point as I think it is slightly to low. I don't think this is terrible though and that it can be worked around as other than this issue, the shots we did came out quite well.
When directing my model, the process was very easy going and I felt that I was getting better with my direction skills and understanding what I needed this character to portray.
