Building a Website

At the start, I tried to build a website using muse as I thought it would look more professional, but as I started to test shoot I realised that since I was only putting my three films on there, I wanted more of an interactive template and design to work with so I swapped over to WINX. I am happy with the outcome since the main focus is on the film. However I feel that, had i incorporated a photoshoot with the same designs on the website it would have been more effective. I am pleased with the website as I feel that I am able to post any future work on there and build my film making and creative direction portfolio. 

Breakdown of the scenes

The start up scene is one of my favourite scenes because of the contrast of the surroundings with the designs. It creates a tension and makes it more interesting. I am pleased with how the designs were captured on camera however to improve I feel as if I could have captured more of the material and the texture in the first scene rather than the rest as the purpose of this film was to show the designers collection. 

After receiving feedback from my mentor I decided to film a close up shot of the designs to capture the materials and this worked really well in the final outcome as it gave me so much room to edit and play around with colour and texture. 

Test shoots

Test Shoots

In my one to one meeting I was told that my ideas were not visual enough and to get a clear idea of what I was working towards I needed to carry out test shoots.

Although I was happy with the story line carrying out test shoots gave me more ideas to work with such as angles and lighting. When shooting outside I started to list down a number of possible shots that could be used in the film which I did not think of before.

Doing the test shoot made the whole team get a better understanding of what I was looking for, as well as led me in the right direction.
