Idea 1:
Doll Makeup - Expectations

This is my first idea which all look like there on locations not in studio but taking lighting equipment with them, I'm more interested in the makeup and the detail in the image and how that the women are portrayed as dolls which is like our life expectations at the moment. Women are looking up being perfect doll life like people and being manipulated with the perfect makeup.
The positioning of the models is very important and how there are leant down or sitting down like a doll would be just thrown on the floor or legs are life like or straight.
I want to be more towards fashion with my ideas, and make them more colourful and bold, in my previous shoots I have ever done for fashion has never been for myself it has always just been for advertising clothing and selling the people and there talents or clothing being made I have never created an image just for my self.
I want to take control and direct everything and get that perfect shot and pushing the boundaries and going out of my comfort zone with the striking makeup.


Idea 2:
Black & White Fashion Location

I have done one previous shoot before of fashion on location but originally it was just to sell clothing made for the male audience and to sell clothing made by a friend but I did really enjoy that shoot because what I liked most was finding a location that linked well with the clothing the model was wearing.
I was thinking of having a female models but classing them up and dressing them up as classic ladies but still use young models. To make females who look like they are just models but create them as intellectual hard working women in these photos but i wanted to follow the theme of black and white, no bright colours or mad makeup just simple and soft images all about the location and model working together.

Idea 3:
Recreation of great films with theatrical makeup

Great Gatsby - Carey Mulligan Actress

This is one of the first movies I was looking at for an inspiration of recreating something classic because  this was a film once made in 1974 and now has been created for 2013.
I am interested in the style of clothing that has changed but still looks classic my aim is to recreate this once again for my final major project but jazz up the makeup a lot more, but keep the clothing and hair very similar so it still has a resemblance to the original.
Theatrical makeup is what i had in mind for these styles of shoots when creating images similar to these I have looked at.


Cabaret - Liza Minelli

My plan is to recreate but put my own twist onto it like Willy Wonker and the Chocolate Factory created Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and made it all weird and bright and colourful and makeup and surreal people in the film so I want to do that with the classic film but with images.

Chicago - Catherine Zeta Jones & Renee Zellweger

Clothing is a big thing I am most excited about and being able to resemble the outfits worn in these classic film and the hair to match the theme and style of film.
I need to think about how I am going to get these whether I'm going to have to buy them myself or if i could ask the borrow in which I work and ask to borrow clothing for shoots.

Bugsy Malone - Jodie Foster & Florrie Dugger

The hair is playing a big role in the classic style of film and the jewellery and hats or accessories.
Most of my photos will be taken in the studio so I can have more control of the lighting to make it look a lot more soft and focus on the skin and makeup of the models.

Moulin Rouge - Nicole Kidman

Looking through these images of Nicole Kidman is all about the expression on her face which explains how tragic some part of this classic film was. I still want to create the atmosphere shown in these style of images but still exaggerate the make up in a theatrical way.


I really am going to have to start looking for makeup artist and hair stylist to help me out for this shoot and I am going to start looking for the models i need for these actresses roles they play in these classic films which I personally love and have grown up watching with my mom and not only do I just like the film I once originally performed a show at school to Chicago and Cabaret.
