Here are some examples of MY existing work. This is more about the photography and editing and looking at SOME of the styles and fashion and the way the images have been taken. Some of these pictures may be used in my final major project.

FINAL MAJOR PROJECT AUDIENCE!

My final major project title is Fashion over the years!
It is looking into the different types of fashion and how much it has changed over the years. I am going to be looking into the 60's, 80's and today's fashion and comparing them and looking at the differences. It is aimed at all ages. Typical people who may be interested in my final major project may also be into fashion and might like wearing vintage clothes and like being old school. People interested may work in the fashion industry or may be students studying more about fashion. Mostly females will like my final major project because its more of women's fashion that I am working on. My final project may be displayed in a magazine, something like Vogue magazine and it will be shown at my college summer show 2013 open to the public. It will be best shown during the day (noon-ish) so that people get the chance to come along and see it properly.

1950's fashion


Fashion that was popular in the 1950's. brightly coloured clothes and accessories became fashionable in the 1950's and the bikini was developed. From the mid-1950's, a new unfitted style of clothing appeared as an alternative to the tight waist and full skirt. 1950's was the Chanel suit, with a braid-trimmed cardigan-style jacket and A-line skirt. By 1957, most suits featured lightly fitted jackets reaching just below the waist and shorter, narrower skirts. Hair was worn short and curled. Hats were essential for all but the mostly casual occasions. Hats became less popular and were worn less frequent when the beehive hairstyle became fashionable! The baby boom of the 1940's to the 1950's also caused focus on maternity wear.


1980's fashion


Any styles from the late 1970's remain fashionable in the early 1980's. In the 1970's, the silhouette of fashion tended to be characterized by close fitting clothes on top with wider, looser clothes on the bottom. This trend completely reversed itself in the early 1980's as both men and women began to wear looser shirts and tight, close-fitting trousers. In late 1984, Madonna became a fashion icon for many young women around the world who copied her look with short skirts worn over leggings, brassieres worn as outer clothing, untidy hair,crucifix jewellery, and fishnet gloves. Headbands became fashionable in the early 80's. Other  trends were leg warmers and miniskirts, especially "ra-ra" skirts, modeled after the short flared skirts worn by American cheerleaders

Final Major Project.

The point of my final major project is to get it shown in the summer show! We have different options in what we want to do for our final piece. We choose between film, photography, adverts but it all has to be based on time and space so that all of our videos all somehow link up together. I may be doing photography. The most time our project is able to contain is 15 minutes and no longer! We can do anything we want for our project just as long as it doesn't contain sexual scenes, bad language and a huge amount of violence as the summer show is for the public and will have people of all different ages, and family's that will be attending.
We need to provide a well set portfolio and present things beautifully on our sketch book AND our blog just incase we lose our sketch book (back up). We need to do film/photography critiques, questionnaires and go around asking the public what they'd like to see based on our choice of our final piece, location photographs, character biographies, proposal forms. We also need a team list and equipment list as well as location recce, risk assessment, health and safety if needed, scripts, treatment and production diary. When we are finishing our edited work, we need to make sure that ALL spelling is spelt correctly (if using text in our presentation). We need to make a pitch in which will be presented in front of the class for 10 minutes! We need to make 2 mind maps of our ideas. Research needs to be discussed of at least 2 artists/directors/photographers/videos that relate to our idea - depending on what we choose to do weather it is film or photography. We need to discuss what they have produced and how it links to our ideas.

At the end i am hoping my final piece turns out fabulous and the way i plan for it to turn out, and i am hoping to be proud of my final piece and put in LOTS of effort to get it to the standard that i want to get it too.

1960's fashion.

1960’s-  In the 1960’s Twiggy was the ‘it’ girl! She was famous in the modelling industry and her 60’s fashion. In the 60’s people were classy and covered up and they were not so revealing. I really like the 60’s fashion because it’s classy and almost everyone would look good wearing 60’s clothes!  The 60’s broke many fashion traditions.  Hair styles were also at different styles and different lengths.  The BIG back combed hair was popular along with many other different styles.  False eye lashes also became popular. The photography was more studio based with big bright lights shining down on the model, as for today, it is completely different.
