Myself, Alicia, Paige and Jo have tried to finalise an idea that way we have something solid to work with/ develop.
So if you check out some early posts you will noticed I suggested the bondage type theme, we then took that idea and added aspects that we all felt were important so Jo wanted to use petals for the eyes (we bought some petals and paige is going to paint them gold) and colourful makeup to try and draw away from the black of the dress, and paige wants to use feathers for the eyes too. Also Alicia suggested using a dress which is short at the front and then long at the back, she also suggested using material to make the back of the dress even longer so it drapes along the floor and then we can add Origami flowers etc to the back. We all agreed we like that idea and think it could look really effective. Also if you have seen the image i have posted of the two models tied with rope we thought that idea would also look good (we have bought some gold chain to do this for the shoot).
We discussed models and we think it would be good to use two models, and putting them both in dresses, we thought it would work quite well to buy two black dresses then bleech one of the dresses so it would be white (obviously it isnt going to be a pure white but it will be lighter and the texture will look really good, and texture is something that Paige suggested as she thinks a contrast will look really good in the final images).
This picture is an example of the sort of dress we mean.
We also discussed the jewellery as we think this will be quite important (especially for head shots)
We havent finalised what jewellery we are going to use so does anyone have any suggestions for that?
Paige said she has a ring and some earrings which will look good but everyone bring anything they think would work too as we can try lots out as it doesn't take a second to change.
We also like the idea of using a drawing for the backdrop (check out my previous posts), the drawing will be projected onto the wall and the model that way we get more texture and mood from the shot. Myself and Alicia said we would do some ink drawings and possibly watercolour to try out for the backdrop but everyone else should maybe have a go (if drawing/painting isnt your strong point then just give me suggestions for what you think would look good and i will try draw it up for you)
We discussed shoes and we agreed on using wedges as we felt these best represented the shoes a Geisha would wear. Alicia also mentioned wearing them with sock which a few of us agreed on (I know it will probably be a mixed response in terms of ankle socks with heels but it is something that all the Geishas in the film did and it is also a trend that has been around lately)
Burberry Prorsum - Spring 2008
We discussed the colour scheme and think black, white, gold and red are the colours we want to use (red and gold are the main colours which run through out the film, and the black and white make the shoot more edgy and fit in with the bondage idea).
Paige suggested that on the day of the shoot we spend the first part of the shoot trialing out props, for example smoke to see how they looked in the pictures and then for the second part forcus on getting our final 5 images. I think this is a good idea especially because we haven't got time to now do a test shoot.
I think we need to do a test run in terms of hair and makeup that way we know exactly how we want it on the day of the shoot...
I think i have pretty much covered everything we talked about, Girls who were at the meeting add anything else if i havent mentioned it.
Hope everyone is okay with the idea - feel free to give any input on what you think will/won't work or anything you want to add.
We just needed an idea to work with and i know from talking to you in class yesterday that we were all pretty much on the same page.
