Test shoot: derscription

The photos below are from our test shoot. We decided have a test shoot with our actress so we could fully understand what we were working with. We took pictures of Connie (Jess) in her room, so  we could understand the atmosphere we are trying to create. The mise en scene in the shots are clear and develop strong characterization of our character. We put Connie in a girly dress and this suggests her happy-go-lucky nature.

Jess decides to go with the Polka dot dress, with some boots, a tote bag and cute, child-like plaits. In this shot she checks her phone, forever distracted and in her own world.

We want our establishing shot, to be of Jess waking up in bed; so we took some photos of Connie
to see what the set would look like.

We took a photo of Connie applying make up because this is a shot we would like to include in our opening sequence. The photos of Connie in her dress really helped us build her character.
We then took a photo of Connie with different hairstyles again also being used in our characterization.
