A month or so later, and Endzone asked me to help out again!, This was another taster of the goings on behind the camera! I was more than excited to help out, i recieved an email regarding the criteria and was told to bring a pen and paper, which hinted that one of my jobs of the day was to keep note of credits.
This shoot I was asked to assist with today was for a new band promotion; they were two young girls who have just been signed, in their twenties or so. They played upon the 'super hero' culture, embedding the whole super girl attitude and style, emphasising the key aspects you need in a girl band I suppose!
The first assignment I was given was to unpack the clothes for the shoot, steam them and style which accessories go with the outfits for each girl. The outfits for both girls were pvc catsuits, hence the super hero theme! They were perfect for the style of the shoot; the patent black and red shoes couldn't be more perfect! This assignment was great practice for styling and how to make a superhero look high fashion. This was a task I was eager to complete and End zone were happy with the results!
I then logged all the clothing and the accessories being used to ensure that they were sent back to the correct companies. I masked the shoes with tape to ensure that the shoes don't get marked or scuffed, want the best job in the world, but I did it! I'm guessing this is so the shoes get returned pretty much in the same condition that they were given to be used.
The make up was so cool! It was intriguing looking at how the make-up and hair can impact the whole look of the shoot. Sim and Mel, the hair and make up artists did an amazing job! The girl wearing the black catsuit had gelled back hair in a high pony tail, so that therefore it highlighted the make up of which was black lips and a black painted mask over the eyes. The girl in the red had electric red hair which was PERFECT for the outfit, the make up was still dark smokey eyes with a hint of red and bright red lips, which also hinted the stereotypical sexy girl in red. I had to paint the nails and help out with the curling and straightening of the hair, not a bad job at all!
The backdrop of the set was a green wall, this was evidently used to they can edit a background in once the pictures have been chosen. The photographer was a really cool young guy, who was very friendly with end-zone which made the atmosphere very chilled and relaxed even though we were all working hard! Throughout the day I made sure that anything they required that I was there to help with, whether it was a cup of tea or laying out the clothes for the next shot.
The day went really quickly, which is always a good sign, and I loved the whole buzzing vibe! Having worked with Endzone before I felt very privileged that they had asked me to help out again with this project. :)
When I came across this music video, it instantly reminded me of this shoot! The clothing and hair was so similar; this is probably due to 'superhero', girl dominating view!
