Weekly Report 6

5/1-5/9/2011, Total Hours 50hrs 45min

Sunday 1st, 8am-8pm, 12hrs

Today we shot 7 models and many bathing suits. We went all around Atlanta and put the models on the streets. It was a learning experience for me because it was my first big shoot with models, hair, and makeup artist.

It was very important to stay tuned into what the models, fashion designer, and creative director wanted and did not want.

We shot a lot in direct, harsh sunlight. So it proved to be a challenge. The shoot was a lot about adapting to what the director wants and also trying to not compromise your own vision.

It was a long day overall.

I learned a great deal about how to work on a project with many models and leaders involved. There was a lot of planning and details that go into a high volume shoot.
Also, got great insight into deadlines and the pressure they can bring.
