In today’s class we learned about Fashion Styling and taking photos and editing them into videos. This was my first time to do styling and make videos so it was a fascinating experience for me in general.
Because we were working in pairs, so I completed the work with Avery. Although I have chosen some old clothes in the beginning, I still had no idea with them so it was a little bit difficult for us to think about the theme of the pictures. Fortunately, we did some researches and found a set of pictures (which were from Masion Margiela)for reference. Based on this, we went very well because we had too many ideas in our brains. So we have had more than 70 pics after class. An unexpected thing happened thorough the shooting process. Since I wanted to photograph the cart as a prop, I just pushed the cart. But this was not allowed which I didn’t know before. So the staff came out and told me that I couldn’t move the cart. I was only allowed to use it in situ. Luckily, we made some fantastic photos in the end.
However, the biggest problem was that we didn’t know how to use iPad or iPhone to make a video. What’s worse, we spent too much time editing photos so that we didn’t have enough time to complete the video. To fix this problem, we need to learn how to use editing app to make videos in the spare time. And we also need to allocate time more rationally, instead of spending too much time on editing photos. And if I could repeat the work, I would ask the staff if I could use the cart first to avoid the awkward situation.
