31/03/11 - Tutorial with Bunny and Frances Tempest

This tutorial was extremely useful and I have taken a lot from it; we discussed my ideas and how I was planning on interpreting the painting.  The tutors liked my ideas of using punk and they said that it would probably work really well.  This has given me confidence in my ideas and they helped me develop them further.  I asked Bunny about hiring boots from the costume store and she said this would be fine.  They approved of the location I had found and said it should work quite well against the black covered figure.  It was suggested that I have some of the model's chest exposed slightly to enhance the vulnerability of the figure.  It was also mentioned that the painting has some considerable foreshortening so this will have to be taken into account when positioning the figure.  I learnt that simplicity in ideas is what will probably make this shoot successful; Frances said that I need to do the shoot soon so that my ideas don't become too over-thought as this would detract from the idea.  This was really useful advice and I shall take it with me and try to begin developing the costume from here and get it wrapped up as soon as it is ready.
