Fashion film project notes

Model must not look at the camera at the end of the shot. Gives you leeway to edit.

Bring in a tripod.

Cut between controlled shots, and frantic shots.

Control in the sity, intercut with interiors out of control.

Really controlled women are usually very out of control on the inside.

Exterior symbolizes exterior of control. Interior symbolizes she is a woman of appetites and lack of control.

Follow her. Pace… longer on her control, then bang bang bang lack of control. Business end of the city. Sydney uni. Macquarie street. Finance end of town. Hunter street downwards. Near the ivy. Chifley tower.

Monday- hand in films with articulate group presentation.Be definite about how scenes are set up. Get arty with the food. Food porn. Materialist consumption of food. Link between fashion porn and food porn. Shot list. Talent costume, makeup. Props, locations/sets, lighting, crew, equipment. Shoot film extra at top and tail of the shot you want. Get little bits, like feet, to fill out the movie. Think about the dynamics and psychology of shots. Logistics, schedule, and shotlist for Tuesday. Schedule- pre production, production and post production. Early john waters. Watch them Strong conceptual framework

When making video, consider audience. Be bold and simple.

Beginning, middle and end.

Restrcitons of mobile phones. Panning shots and zoom ins don’t work too well. Need to do them slowly, but can use the blur to your advantage to create the mood.

Be inventive. Panning on wheels.

Lighting. Steady.

Handheld. make sure you’re leaning on something. Wall, table. Clamp it. Hardware. With case to protect the phone.

Biggest thing is planning. Concept. Have ideas on Monday.

Storyboard. Show breakdown. Locations. Actors/ models, props. Costume accessories. Special effects. Makeup, backgrounds. Audio. Schedule. Who what when, where.

Continuity. from different angles. Leaps in the air. Eyeline.body direction.

Fashion film festivals. David lynch. 3 minutes. Storyboard it out so you know what you’re doing.
