With fashion in film becoming increasingly popular as another outlet for designers and stylists to showcase their work it is unsurprising that many of the big names in fashion are choosing to turn to film rather than solely catwalk based shows.
The second year and foundation students recently had the opportunity to make a fashion film, in collaboration with the ND graphic students so we all know how hard it is to make a successful innovative piece of film.
With the end of year show rapidly approaching I think we need to start thinking about how we want to showcase our work maybe film could be an option for some of us?
Here are a few examples of really interesting fashion films for inspiration.

These are great... I like the idea of having a huge space that includes films being projected onto screens where models are coming from. I think the idea of a square space could be amazing... Emily what was the black cube like at Birmingham Theatre School. Or we could try the space in Millennium Point.... AdamF please check this out as your show was here! I think we need to captivate the audience... First years have got their work cut out tis year!
ReplyDeleteCan everyone please upload their videos too.. I am having real problems doing this. If you are not sure what to do see Emily (not me the other one!)
ReplyDeleteRob has our film on his Von Graff Creative blog, but we havent got the LR version to upload yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to respond to Emilys comment, above, here instead of making two comments... I think that it's a great idea, I think it would be better though if we had live models instead of maniquins in the boxes, almost like the mcqueen show with the mirrored box. So then they could move around naturally, it would so exciting and innovative for the viewers. The models could be on a rotation basis so that they aren't in there for too long. or, we set up the cubicles so that the viewers were in sort of a maze.. they'd turn a corner and see another collection and another etc. I'm not sure, I dont want it to look like an art exhibition, catwalks are so exciting and I reckon its important that we try and keep the excitement, we just need to be a little original and have LOADS of effort from the 1st years! :) x
