Preparation for Visit to Chrysalis Photography

Currently, I am finding different items of clothing, shoes and makeup that we are going to use for the photo shoot on Monday at Chrysalis Photography. Alice and I visited Meadowhall Shopping Centre yesterday to collect props for the shoot including helium ballons, confetti cannons, glitter/sequins, and sweets to put in jars. As we didn't collect all the props we needed, we have decided to visit a local shop tomorrow to collect the rest of the props such as regular balloons and fake eyelashes. We will also be asking the drama department for different props like wigs, roller blades and any other props that we will find appropriate for the set. Below is a photo of the items of clothing and two pairs of shoes that we may use for the shoot. 

                                    
As you can see the clothing is brightly coloured and generally looks quite 'miss match'. We decided to go for this look as it links well to the style we are aiming for and think the outfits will stand out more if we use this style. We included items such as a play suit, shorts, cami tops, crop tops, a bralet, floral top, cropped bright jumper, floral skirt and a bikini incase we want to layer around the bikini. I think the items of clothing look 'fun' and will link brilliantly to the song and the video, making consistency between the video and ancillary tasks. People may wonder why we have included a jumper, but it is extremely bright and with a pair of shorts will show off the theme we are looking for. 
                                     
These are two of the pair of shoes that may be used throughout the photo shoot, and I have another pair of orange heels that I will be picking up on Monday. The 'jelly shoes' are bright and will stand out on the photos, with the outfits that maybe aren't as bright as others. The red wedge heels will enhance the outfits, and add the finishing touches to outfits that may need it. The orange heels that I will be picking up on Monday are amazing and will look perfect with every single one of the outfits displayed above. One of our friends that isn't in our group, is lending us a pair of bright blue heels aswell so that we have a wide variety of choice and can provide a range of different styles throughout the photos. 

Amy and Alice, the other two members in my group will also be searching through their wardrobes to find items of clothing that could be used in the photos. This will ensure that we have more than enough outfits to use in the photos. Below is a photo of the current props we have, but we will be buying more tomorrow including balloons, eyelashes, candy canes, beach ball, and pink milkshake. We will also be collecting some from the drama department on Monday. 

                                   
Below are some of the different pieces of makeup we will be using, including bright eyeshadows, pale foundation, a range of mascara, bright lipsticks, nail varnish and glitter nail varnish. The eyeshadows in the pallet don't look very bright but by building them up on Emma's eyes, we will be able to make them stand out. Even though we want the photos to be fun and colourful, we want the makeup to be quite 'glamorous' to ensure that we have a sophisticated look, and the makeup is not drawing the audience away from the attention of the props and clothing. Also note, that the colours of the makeup are a lot brighter in person than on the photos.

                               

                               
 
                                

   
                                 

To style Emma's hair we will be using GHD hair styles to curl her hair, and also a curling wand. This will create volume to Emma's hair and emphasis the look that we want to produce. Below is a couple of photos of the look at we are going for with Emma's hair. We haven't decided if it will be fully down or we will do some sort of style with it but we will decide on the day.
