PLANNING: PHOTO SHOOT SCENE

For our Film opening, we are including a scene with a photo shoot with 2 models to represent the main character and to show that he is a controlling photographer. To plan for this scene we have looked at videos of fashion shoots which will help us understand what goes on during a photo shoot and the environment in which it is set. For example, I have looked at how fashion photographer David Bailey to see what kind of shots we can use like his, here is an example:


This image can be used as one of the positions that one of our models can do during the shoot for out film opening. This is effective as well because its in black and white which suits the theme of our film.

This second shot shows how David is directing the model in which pose to do next and almost commanding her what to do. I could use this in our production to make my character seem more controlling towards the models such as David Bailey would.

We also decided to use another fashion photographer, Tim Walker who used Women in such a way which was similar to our main protagonist 'Sam'. We took an example out of his book of a picture of a female model posing in an uncomfortable way in our character interview to portray it to 'Sam' This was because it would show how 'Sam' feels towards women being treated in this way as being 'objects' to him. We decided to choose Tim Walker because he has been a fashion photographer for over 10 years and shoots for magazines which will represent these models for Tim in a similar way our main protagonist will view women.
