LOCATION AND LOOK TWO.

LOCATION TWO.

For this scene we hopped in the car and razzed to a couple of grotty arch ways under the train tracks. They are situated just before the bridge from Rochester to Strood. They are old red brick arches, very typical of the industrial revolution. Obviously due to their age and location its all abit run down and gritty. Weathering and car pollution has caused the brick to discolour and crumble as well as the faded graffiti and over grown bushes. Over all its a very raw,severe and exposed place, not very pleasant or picturesque at all but perfect for our film.

LOOK TWO.

For this look we used a black silken maxi dress which rippled gorgeously in the wind. We used it in our test shoot and it was goo but it needed dressing up a bit. Me and Grace both wanted structure and severity and we thought that would be best from the shoulders. I had an idea that bundling something around her arms might work as a foundation. So whilst grace applied more make up and perfected her beloved wig, I wrapped a couple of UCA tshirts round Loz's arms and secured them with hair bands then bought a long piece of scraggly black organza from the small of Loz's back forward,crossing it over her boobs and wrapping it over the tshirts. I secured it with a safety pin (that grace wedged into my thumb) between her shoulder blades leaving the fabric to cascade down her back.It worked so well, better than we had ever imagined!! The shoulders looked very chic and not like a couple of old tshirts at all!! Grace had darkened up Loz's make up and applied eye liner for a more dramatic look then forced her spindly fingers into a new pair of black lace gloves. On location the look was brilliant. The wind blew the delicate fabrics so they rippled beautifully in such a harsh surrounding and Loz looked stunning. We were so immensely happy with how everything came together to create a high fashion look but still disturbing and raw as we had intended.
