2. Research
• In my research, I believe I supplied lots of useful information which
helped me a lot when making my FMP. I conducted a lot of research
including statistics from the fashion industry, open surveys and a few
direct messages to a fashion film creator. Talking to Sugarcollective
was great as it gave me specific insight into someone in the field as
well as a unique perspective. The most important shot she used was
the windowed video overlay shot and I used this myself. Looking back
I realize that I could’ve asked more questions that were directly
personal to my fashion film, this could’ve included preferred styles
and shots.
3. Contextual Research
• I found a plethora of amazing artists, designers and filmmakers that
have inspired my work. I analysed their art and looked for features
that I liked that could influence my work. I didn’t directly use any
aspect of any ones work, but it taught me how to look at clothing in a
different light. Looking at the feedback I was given, it would be useful
for me to go back and annotate different shots and clothing items
from the artists I looked at so I could pick apart specific tropes and
possibly use them in future works.
