the final layout

I really like the way that the final images and lay out has turned out after all of the stress, I think we have pulled it off, if I were to do it again there would be a few changes I would want to add in more creative things that I originally thought of but didn't get the chance to actually do it. 

the picking and editing of photos

choosing the photo's and editing the best was taking a while as we couldn't decided, when we finally did get it all sorted most of the day was already gone so Sophie started to do the layout as I am not the best person to do it, but she has done an amazing job at it I helped and suggested things to add into it, we got about 3 of the layouts done and it was 2am so we decided to go home and get up early and do the rest in the morning so me and sophie was up and in the library for 9 and the other half didn't turn up till 10:30 but we agreed to be there early so myself and sophie got the rest of the layout done, and Claire was meant to bring in doodles for the layout but only bought in one for the rock layout and it wasn't much. So me and sophie went back to the flat and started doodling for the rest, we finally did it the lay out was done and it looks amazing :)

the proper shoot!

So it has come to the proper shoot and I am rushing around like an idiot getting the model dressed then styled then the hair and make up and then actually shooting, so the first shoot was my part of the arty image the tumblr I sorted everything and once my shoot was over all the girls looked to me to do all of there make up, hair styles, and styling so I was even more stressed and the model was uncomfortable so I had to step in and make her feel better showing her different poses and just trying to get her to relax the way she did in my shoot, after hours of shooting and being out of energy it was time to go home and sleep. 

the shoot

There was a bit of a hiccup in this shoot as when we got there I did the hair and make up to the model and when we came to shoot the trigger cable I had bought a few days before was faulty so we couldn't really do much as one of the group wouldn't go back to the her place to get her wireless trigger, so it was a go back home and do the shoot the next day if she could find the wireless trigger.

group meeting again

So we met up again but the rest haven't found models, I told them that I had one male and one female but as soon as I said male one of the girls jumped down my throat and said we are not having a male model, to me that was not good since I was the only one who actual got models to work with. 

success!

Finally found someone to model for me a male and female! 

Gossip Girl

So I completely forgot about Gossip Girl I love the fact that this program is about school but at the same time that there is someone watching there every move ready to blog or email people about it which is a brilliant idea but most of the time gets these people into trouble. we see different styles of fashion in this program which kind of makes sense as it is based in NY and how much these wealthy kids get themselves into trouble. but like I said the fashion is amazing so many different outfits  for each of the characters the clothing just seems to make the character.

group meeting

So we had another group meeting about trying to get model's or to move the shoot to a different weekend, that was going to be impossible as most of the group are going home the following weekend or going away for easter. so after the meeting the goal was for each of us to yet again look for models.

getting really worried now

looking for models isn't going to well yet again... I'm hoping so badly that everything will turn out all right we have everything ready but the model/s

Elephant

In our tutorial we watched the film elephant where we see troubled teenagers take over the school and massacre most of the school, apparently it was based on a true story, I find the way that they have filmed the film really interesting seeing it happen to different people at different time but at the same time (yeah confusing). 

ahhhhh stressed

So we want this shoot sorted soon as but we have an issue of not having any models what so ever out of the 4 of us we can't find anybody, we as a group are not communicating and when I do try and sort out meetings only half of the group turns up. 

the test shoot

this is just us trying to figure out what lighting and backgrounds to go with I said that we would get the best looks from the coloured back grounds just like they have in school photographs but also have the different colours to represent different social networking industry's, like my space, facebook, twitter, tumblr, and you tube, I think when we finally found the lighting we wanted it was all right we got some good shots are trying to figure out what poses to use so when we did the actual shoot we would know where to start.  

school girl look

we have seen that the school girl look is used a lot in music videos like Britney Spears and Girls aloud they tend to stylelize this look to make it more into fashion.

the stereotypes

The chavs the typical look of tracksuit with trainers and a hat.

Then we have the stereotype of emo the black and bright colours hair over there faces lip rings and are over the top with feelings apparently suicidal. 

the hooded gang, hoods and scarf's to hide there identity we look at them as thugs as some people find it threatening the clothes that they wear.

then the geeks who are out of place love games and being intelligent

the popular girls everybody wanting to be just like them style wise they are always into the new fashion have the best out of everything.

waterloo road

Waterloo Road is yet another UK based school drama involved round both student and teachers coming over the difficulty of everyday life but they never seem to catch a break, I find that the dress code in some ways the same but now we see jumpers and not blazers girls wearing more and more makeup wanting to grow up way to fast.

grange hill

Grange hill is one of the UKs based tv program that started in 1978 till 2008 I did't think it actually lasted this long because when I was younger it wasn't something I enjoyed but we have the original class image and one of the 2008 class, between the both of the you can tell the early class is deffently more formal in this image the classic white shirt tie black trousers and blazers, and the teachers are dressed more formal. where as in the second image there isn't as many kids they are a bit more sloppy with appearance even the tutors are more casual clothes. 

glee

the new hype is the American TV series Glee that we see the underdogs or (loosers) in peoples eyes that go through the bullying the ups and downs of being a young adult I find this program really does stereotype everybody, from jocks, cheerleaders, popular,geeks, and bullies. I think in a school network that the way that they have styled the characters are well thought out and most from different backgrounds.

after school

Afterschool is a South Korea band I found who also use the whole school girl look to promote them self's it seems to be a popular look using different stereotypes to get a look, I really like the idea of the whole band geek theme is really aesthetically pleasing, I really like that it is high fashion.  

over the top dressed chav

so once again the chav fashion isn't to great taking a high fashion brand Burberry and making it a sham  I really don't think in a fashion statement both tops and bottoms to be the same isn't a great look but for  some reason the chavs seem to like this brand.

Chav it up!

the chav stereotype we see the Vicky Pollard character in the little Britain tv season who bring the stereotype at large being a asbo, drinking, smoking and having kids when they are only teenagers, the clothing is not the most attractive sweats trainers, hoodies and baseball caps.

sims

we also see the typical school girl look in the game the sims.

Japanese culture

Looking at the Japanese over the top with some of there clothes I found this image not to sure who it is by but I really like the simplistic clothes but with a twist of the background being bright and over the top, the composition of the models is really attractive which make the clothes pop.

the goonies

I know that the goonies arent really based on school but I think it is based on education, having kids from different back grounds working together as one.
