Evaluation of my change shoot

After being let down a number of 5 times by models I final got to do my change shoot,  see my previous blog posts about this concept here and here .

I had previously planned to do my shoot outside, near the river irwell however on the day I managed to shoot this look the weather was terrible so I had to shoot indoors , after speaking to the photographer about what I wanted and what he thought would look good we decided to go for natural lighting so that he would then be able to edit the images to make them look brighter etc.

Overall I wasn't really happy with the make up application, I imagined something much different in my head so I feel like I had hyped it up too much which is why I feel so disappointed, the fishnet tights didn't really work as well as I hoped, maybe I removed them too fast therefore it didn't work.Also due to models letting me down I ended up having to shoot on my flatmate and she was uncomfortable wearing the shell bra I had got so I had to alter my look to just a head and shoulders shot which I feel really let me down.

If I was to redo the shoot I would definitely apply some make up to the eyelids, I was planning to however on the day I decided to make it a natural mermaid look therefore the whole focus would be on the neck.

I have included some of the final images both the original and edited .

Finalising my live concept theme

As my chosen era for this concept is "futuristic" I have decided to create my look based on cyborgs , as technology is growing at a rapid rate and scientists are becoming more able to create things that appear in sci-fi films I feel like this is a thing that could actually appear in the future. My take on this will hopefully show that in the future I feel that people won't be able to tell who is a human and who is a robot due to the advances in technology , my inspiration started by reading this article here 

I have previously done a post based on my initial ideas, you can see that Here. 

I have created a moodboard which I will include below. 

The definition of a cyborg according to dictionary.com is " a person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent upon a mechanical or electronic device."(Dictionary.com, 2017)

Moodboard for live concept.Bibliography below.

For my look I have decided that I will be using prosthetic pieces in my look in order to create the illusion that the fake skin has been removed therefore exposing the mechanics. One of the main reasons why I have decided to use prosthetic pieces is as on the day of showcase I want it to run as smoothly and time will be of the essence so by using prosthetic pieces I am saving myself time.

From my research I came up with an idea that I am thinking about doing for my concept, I found a pre made prosthetic piece that I feel suits my concept ideally! You can click here to see the piece I found.

After completing my design chart I can help but feel although my look is very basic as it relays on the prosthetic piece as the make up would just be very natural, although I can justify my reasons for having a natural make up with my prosthetic piece application I can't help but feel that as this course is based on make up that I should include some more make up into my look, however with this prosthetic piece I feel that including some make up to the other half of the face could make it look unbalanced therefore I am thinking of changing my look.

After doing some research I managed to find another prosthetic piece that I feel that would suit my look and would also allow me to do make up application, you can see the prosthetic piece I will be purchasing here .
