Day 1/2
Finalising my plans
Shoot-
This shoot was probably the most magical shoot I have
done so far- the set up was very elaborate with a lovely dress and lots of
props so standing there in real life was just like living my dreams, it was so
cool! Ailsa was very cooperative again and we had a lot of fun- especially with
the smoke! I knew it was going to work as I had tested it the day before with
some personal work, which also was very fun.
Final Crit-
Unfortunately I didn’t manage to concentrate very much on
the promotion side during the three weeks as I mainly devoted my time to just
producing the image, I feel like I wasn’t perhaps utilizing the time in the
right way. I think I could have managed to produce a final outcome on the
second week, leaving the third week free to think about promotion. Instead I
let it get to the point where I only had just enough time to shoot and edit the
photo for the crit.
I took the feedback from the crit into consideration and
I replaced the background (originally my garden fence) with a shot I took of a
clearing in the forest surrounded by trees, this helped a lot and made the
overall shot more magical and mysterious. I also added hands pulling on each of
the ropes; this gave a much better sense of opposition and made it look like
the fairy was being surrounded.
