On below, it shows the questions which I have planned and the things would like to include in my interview video. By doing this, it will give my videographer a clear script about what she has to say and asks me. Since I have planned that my videographer will not appear in front of the camera, she can then carry this sheet with her and ask me questions behind the camera. The purpose of the interview video is to explain what the concept "RED" Exhibition is about and inform the audience when the exhibition will be available online.
By doing the interview video, it helps me to explain to the audience what the exhibition is about and I have planned to publish the interview before the online exhibition publish since I want to use the interview video as one of the promotions for my project. It will be uploaded to my Facebook and Instagram page and inform the visitors when the exhibition available online. From my time schedule, I have planned to publish the exhibition on 3rd May and it has been confirmed from now.
Finished the "You, me or her?" photo shoot and editing
I have finished my last photo shoot for the exhibition and the images on above and on the left are the photos which have been edited and ready to put on the website. Compare to the last test shoot, I have come up with more idea when doing the shoot. I have asked my model to do more poses such as on the first photo where she is holding the Chinese opera masks high up in the air. During the photoshoot, there is an incident happened and is that I have booked a studio for the shoot. However, when I went downstairs to the studio after I have finished the make-up and hair, someone was in my studio and told me that their friends have booked a whole day in the studio that I have booked. I have confirmed that I have booked the studio with the university staff and then the students have asked me if I could give them half an hour to complete their shoot. At the end, I rejected them since I have booked the studio in advance and I do not want my model to wait too long for the shoot to get done.
In Photoshop, I have also experimented more with the compositions and layouts of the images. In my estimation the shoot was successful. The model was professional and was able to transform the poses that I showed her what to do. The outcome looks like what I have expected and imagined.
Building the Exhibition Website:
In Week 11, I started to build my website on Muse. Since it is my first time using this program and also building my own website, I have gone to see our IT tutor, John for support in using Muse and on above are the photos which show the things that I have done at the moment. There are still areas of improvements that need to make changes on and I will continue to experiment with the layout and the effects on the widget library.
Illustrations:
On below, I have created some illustrations to put on the exhibition website.
The Chinese Masks "The Chinese Masks" takes inspirations from Chinese Opera Masks and it has created an illusion of moving patterns within the image. The black brush strokes on the image reminds me of the Chinese paint brushes and the image takes inspirations from the idea of Chinese mask-changing as well because it presents the mystic atmosphere and the way the masks are overlapping with each other.
Delicious"Delicious" presents as a gif image to create a surreal and innovative pattern on the picture. The strong bold red color represent the person's passion for food and the food on the mouth is some pictures that I took last summer when I went back to Macau and ate Chinese food.
2017 The Year Of Rooster"2017 The Year Of Rooster" takes inspirations from the Year 2017 and in Chinese culture, it is the year of rooster this year and I want to create a piece of artwork with this idea. The picture features a layer of fur like texture and I want to use it to represent the fur of the rooster. I have also make the picture into red tones to match the project title "RED".
A Wealth Wish"A Wealth Wish" creates a surrealistic atmosphere by combining the lucky cat with a candle, while there are blurry block tiles on the lucky cat's face. This helps me to demonstrate the weirdness side of surrealism to the audience.
Fashion Film Shooting
Since my model was only available to do the filming in one day, time management and planning which scenes start film filming is crucial. I have booked the infinity studio for a whole day so that we could have enough time to complete the shoot. The model was very professional as she has experience in acting and she is a drama student. Although there were just two of us doing the filming, we managed to get the filming done even earlier than the studio closed. I found the storyboard very useful as it helps me to record the scenes that I will need to do during filming so that I won't forgot or miss out any important parts. On the other hand, since the filming lighting is different comparing to the photography lighting, I have asked our Photography tutor, Chris about the lighting techniques and showed him what kinds of lighting I want to achieve in my film. I have gone to his lessons every week and ask questions that I am unsure about with the camera and the set up of the lighting in the studio. These have helped me a lot because, during the shooting day, I know how to set up the lighting and go straight away to set up for filming after doing the make-up and hair for the model without wasting time. On the other hand, the make-up, hair and styling appear polished and overall, the filming was successful and the next stage of the progression will be the editing.
