The thinking behind my moodboard

When I first got the word 'Gambol' I didn't know what to make of it or how incorporate/represent my word in either of the shoots. But once I came to terms with what it meant I was able to break the word down and take the word movement from it as it means a forward roll which made me think of things like dance, expressions on the face and how it moves and powder paint. I also thought about hair flicks as I had seen some images before of a model in water flicking her hair back with the water drops moving in the air.

Also when I had created this mood board I felt that I didn't have a clear outcome/idea which made it a moodboard however after presenting my moodboard it became evident that my moodboard wasn't very clear and presented ideas for the shoot instead of my initial thoughts/ideas. This is why I created a new mood board which represented the word more and what it meant/was to me so that I could see what ideas stuck out or if I needed to think more into it to help me decide what to do with my shoots.

Evaluation from the Last Project

Tutor Comments:
Really high standard of photography, well presented, well lit, interesting poses/compositions. Research is thorough, but there are a few sections that appear to be copied directly from websites and pasted in along with different pictures. (different lighting in photoshoots) I would avoid taking words straight from photographers websites ie rankin, even though you have added your opinion under each one, I would still take their words and make them your own, it demonstrates that you are taking in the information, processing it and then retelling it in your own words. The section on different poses & colour theory is spot on, your mood board is really well put together and relates nicely to your end result.  A great effort and just remember to plan your time a bit better!

Looking back at my last project it’s evident that my time management wasn’t the best it could be so its important that I work on it in my next project. Also when researching photographers or lighting set ups I need to select the right information more efficiently and also need to ensure I put things into my own works and ensure that I am selective of what I write as I can struggle to select the most important bits of information. As I feel that a lot of the things are important and struggle to select the most important things. When blogging I also need to ensure that when I look back that It makes more sense and that the most important parts are included as if I need to look something specific up then it’ll be easy for me to find. The main point for my blog is to have something to reference when working on a set as I might have a certain skin type that I've worked with before but not sure what makeup I used that made their skin look perfect.

For me to be able to do that I need to document what lighting set ups work for what skin types or whether natural or studio lighting look best with the different skin tones or hair colours.

Having a blog will just be helpful to look back on and also helps refresh your memory on what you've done or what your required to recreate or do. This is why its important to ensure the information on my blog is relevant and also to ensure that I manage my time well or if I haven't for me to recognise that so that I can improve on my work which helps in the future as I can always improve on my work and makeup whether that Is time management or ensuring that I'm acting in a professional way.
