1. we could use a maze of larger, child size dominoes and get the models to stand inbetween them.
2. we could shoot in black and white
3. we could dress them in spots or black and white
all of these we felt were too literal and too obvious. we then thought about adding a narrative and how we could use fashion to make a more intersting shoot thats not sooo obvious as black and white.
we then came up with a few more ideas, and as we all dicussed them they developed well into what i think will make a great series of images, with a bit of depth to them, given by the narrative we will include.
we want to use a number of models and have a sort of love story running through the images so they all link in an obvious way and the viewer can see the stages of the building relationship. we are sticking tot he black and white idea we had at the very start, by shooting against black and white, using black and white models, and shooting IN black and white.
we also wanted a very contrasty, grungey, grainy feel to the imagery which made me instantly think of the madonna video for "Give it to me" ft pharell williams.
all through the video she is wearing black and white, and there is one point where she against a white background and its soo contrasted that you cant really see the white of her skin and it seems like its a face with a body and boots dancing against the white. i dont think we would use contrast in such an obvious way as it is in this video, as we would lose the details which we want to keep.
we also had the idea of focussing on accessories, and also covering the models faces with masks, like the ventian ones they wear at masked balls in venice. this also made me think about the video by Gareth Gates for "Anyone of us" where he is in venice and at the end he is surrounded by people dancing at a masked ball.
by shooting in black and white we would need to have high detail as the colours will not be important, so i feel the masks would add to this.
