Shoot 3 involved creating and filming my Strictly Ballroom Design 2 look - an eccentrically made up ballroom dancer. I had to apply gems to this design but could feel myself being very controlling within this resulting in the gems being placed very pattern like. I am going to be applying gems for the Moulin Rouge designs and will try to be more free and less controlling otherwise I will et the same results as this. I don't think it looks terrible as it still works with this Ballroom Look I am trying to convey, I just think as a makeup artist I need to learn how to let go and not be so controlling when applying texture to a design in the future.
During the shoot I discovered some new ways of filming rather than just using the tripod and went on to doing handheld shots as well. I felt this gave a raw feel to the film and kind of intimate in a way. After looking over the shots though I realised that if I wanted to use this technique to be part of the film I must make sure it matches the mood when editing and try my best not to be shaky when holding the camera. I definitely want to continue with using this technique for each scene in my film so that it brings some kind of continuous effect throughout.
What went successful in this shoot is the acting skills that were performed as I needed my actress to really laugh hard for these shots. I also think that as I complete one shoot after another I am improving my filming skills by discovering new and better ways to make this film look more interesting. I am trying to experiment with the camera and projector that in hope can draw my future audience in and want to watch this film the whole way through.
What I am a bit concerned about is whether I got the styling of this character correct and if this needs to be addressed. To help myself confirm if a reshoot may need to take place I am going to get opinions from the other people. I don't want to reshoot as I am so happy with the outcome of this of everything else other than the styling but if it is a major issue I will put this forward and change it.
