Today I have been working in my sketchbook and experimenting with editing my flower shoot. I like having the images edited as stills but I am working to make a video using these images. I am hoping this video can be used when I post my first article. I want to use text that will be relevant to my article topic and then using the caption discuss what the article is about and where to access it.

 

collaborating  with other projects – 

Today I joined Stephany on a photoshoot in the studio for her FMP project. this was a very exciting shoot to be a part of as it’s very different from mine and it was fun to see a project with an aesthetic that is quite opposite to mine. Steph had me come to assist her as well as get as much footage for her behind the scenes as possible. We began by setting up which was interesting as I had not thought of doing shoots with such big props but rather experimenting with lighting. The set-up was very bright, and we had lots of fun decorating the space. This was also a great time for me to get a look into what the studio environment is like as I have not done a shoot in the studio yet. I was able to see how the lights and backdrops worked as well as get an insight into some issues I could face such as makeup, and outfit changes. This ensured me that the best way to face a studio shoot is with as much preparation as possible. Having outfits and hair planned out as well as sketches of certain poses and the lighting effects I might want to experiment with. For my test shoot, I want to make sure I have done some research by watching YouTube tutorials or talking to the staff in the camera department about the different effects I want to create and the best ways to achieve them. As well as testing different ones out to see if I like the lighting with my model or the styling. Preparing for all these things will ensure my final shoot will be as stress-free as possible. Steph’s shoot was successful, and she took lots of amazing pictures I was so happy to be able to be a part of the shoot.
