Femme Fatale Props

Miss Thrasher brought in her femme-fatale-style hat and cigarette holder and they look quite good.

Hat:

Cigarette Holder:

What do we reckon? Shall we try and get some of that veil-netting stuff for the hat?

Things we need for the femme fatale character:

• Hat?
• Cigarette holder?
• Red lipstick- Saxon said she'd bring some in tomorrow (10th September)--I now have it (Angela, 10th September)
• Face makeup/foundation/powder and some to possibly add highlights/shadows to the face subtley (though could go very wrong)
• Mascara
• Wicked femme-fatale style dress/skirty outfit
• Coat- possibly mine?
• High-heeled shoes
• Seamed stocking? (or too much?)

Though we still need to watch tons of films noir to get the costume etc. spot on.

Rekon we should do a quickie test-shoot tomorrow in the media block of the dashing femme fatale? =0

Dress Rehersal/Test Shoot

We are going to dress up Luke and James, and possibly some of the other actors for the band, and play around with hair styling and costume ideas. We shall take pictures and maybe some video footage of the actors once dressed up to check the visual effectiveness of it and evaluate whether we should change anything, and if so then what.

Things to bring:
James:

• White shirt
• Skinny jeans

Luke:

• Hair styling products
• Costume

Cathryn:

• Girl blazer that might not work

I messaged Tom Henry (via a popular social networking website) and unfortunately he is unable to make the shoot tomorrow due to his prior commitments as a house officer/senior pupil (I forget which it is). I think we should try to arrange another date to do the test shoot with Tom Henry, possibly Wednesday lunchtime or after school on one of the days this week.

I think rearranging until wednesday is a good idea...try to get everyone together blah dee blah

Also that means it's less likely people will forget stuff

So yeah...guys still try and bring all your stuff tomorrow (tuesday) and we can leave it at school

-Cat

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right, I just spoke to Luke and we reckon that perhaps we could rearrange this slightly rushed, short notice-y schedule.

What do we think of dress-rehearsing and test-shooting Luke and James tomorrow lunchtime, including hair, makeup and costume, and collaborate props and costume that people are bringing in tomorrow. We then arrange for our actors to come to a lunchtime session on Wednesday lunchtime, as there is more notice for them this way. Tomorrow we can perhaps use some stand-in actors to practice shots if we still have time after practicing the costume of Luke and James or even do some practice lip-synching? This would still be a good use of our time?

-Angela

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm maybe but why not just do all the 'dressing up' on wednesday when the whole band are present? I think james practicing his lip syncing tomorrow though is a good idea...but costume not necessary?

-Cat

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just figured that any extra practice earlier on, especially seeing as James B is the main singer and should look old etc. would be good? Gives us longer to re-think his costume/hair etc. without leaving too much to be all last minutey?

-Forever yours,

Angela

During this lunchtime session we discussed the organisation of the next shoot, and looked at and discussed the appropriateness of the props which people had brought in that day.
