Having received an overview of my images back from the photographer I have decided to cut the story telling scene, compared to the other scenes this is by far the most weak and I feel it pulls down my other images. I was un keen to cut it as I had put in a lot of work creating it, it was the one scene that was a little more play full in visuals and also the one scene that included the character of Amelia and the wig design but when looking at the images there are non that i get that atmospheric feeling towards them and this was something that was very important within all the final photographs used within the book to pull the reader into the experience.
The shoot itself didn't go to plan and there were a lot of miss haps along with curtain materials and lighting resulting in an over scheduled shooting time and then two of my models getting headaches from the tightness of the wigs Dionne the photographer and I decided to call it a day before i was fully satisfied we had got the shot. This was frustrating as I feel that with more time we would have been able to work with the shooting arrangement but in light of my models it was unfair to do this. with more test shoots for this scene we could have got it right, i feel that looking at the final images there are too many people in one small composition along with the lighting and large red wig it all looks a little too cluttered. As the reader you cant focus your attention on anything and everything screams out, this is something with practise and more planning i could have figured out and amended previous to final shoot. I also feel that you can not place the context of the shoot if its a theatre, studio due to the close nature we were shooting at this is something i would change if i were able to re shoot in creating a more placable context. But as my models are all now unavailable and the models have to be consistant through out the play i cannot re shoot, this is a shame but with the other 5 scene's i feel i still have enough variation in imagery for the book.
