Muses and Building Charcters
This week we thought about muses and finding inspiration, then using that to build a character to develop into a photo shoot or anything else related to fashion.
For my muses I chose Iris Apfel, Katherine Hepburn, and Curella De Vile.
It took me awhile to come up with the last muse, Katherine Hepburn. But then I watched The African Queen and loved the class and whole atmosphere of her. I also was inspired by the time period she was an actress in, 1920's 30's. I liked the black white look. So I decided I wanted to make a short film to represent my Character and I wanted it to be black and white like a katherine Hepburn film.
I decided my character would be called Auntie Isis. An old lady who once was young and lived a wild youth. She is your favourite aunt and grew into a wise woman.
So I madea little story board and asked some of my friends to be my models. However on the day I encountrered a few problems which led to a few changes. For example I was going to have Auntie Isis wear a fur jacket but I was unable to get the jacket so I had to come up with alternate outfits. Also originally Auntie Isis was going to be called Auntie Barbra then I though I should make her name more of a homage to Iris Apfel. Lastly I was going to have my two characters fall in love on a train, as I thought about it that seemed rather tacky and cliche so I had the
characters already in love before the film even begins.

I spent the whole day filming and lugging around a giant bag of clothes. And then spent the entire night editing and trying to think of the perfect song to fit, I changed the song at least 5 times. Infact since I have presented the video to the class I changed the song again.
