01/10/14 - 3 accessory workshops

Headpiece designs for film - Caroline Wong 01/10/14
Headpiece designs for photo shoot - Caroline Wong 01/10/14
Above are the designs I have decided to go on and create. Whilst creating the numerous designs during the workshop, the ones that I especially liked and thought fulfilled my vision for my shoots were these. 

As I don't think my designs for my film headpiece are challenging enough, I'm planning on designing a much wackier headpiece for my cousin but I first need to do some more research. For the photoshoot headpieces, I'm not planning on creating anything too structural. Whilst this may seem like a cop out and that I'm not trying my hardest, I want to emphasise that my reasoning behind this is justified. 

As the photo shoot is going to highlight a longing in a friendship and the emotions that go on when one leaves their best friend/ any other person they are psychologically attached to, I do not want the headpieces to be too fussy. Instead, I want them to be simple but still show the meaning behind the shoot. The pieces I designed above reference Thing One and Thing Two's defining feature of their clothing/body. As the shoot I am planning will be focusing on emotions, I don't want to create anything that will deter away from this subject. Make up will be minimal, hair will be natural and the sole focus of the shoot will be the relationship and attachment that the two models show.

Stand work 3 - Caroline Wong 01/10/14
Working on the stand wasn't quite as enjoyable as designing on paper was. For me, I wasn't able to carry forth my ideas for my designs and put them on the stand as the photocopied images of the plastic weren't good to work with. In this case, the photocopies of the bobbypin structure I made (and found to be useless on Monday) came in handy and I was able to utilise these to carry out the workshop. 

As I haven't been able to work on the stand with my headpiece designs, it makes me a little apprehensive and worried about creating my piece but I'm confident that I'll be able to work it out either way. I really like the work I produced on the dummy but it's unfortunate that I can't make it tie in with my project this time round as my research has already gotten me so far. 

These pieces would be great were I not looking and taking inspiration from duos (Thing One & Two in particular).
