Full Length Image - Unusable

The image shots for this project were to have a head shot, mid shot and a full length shot.

My full length shot was very unsuccessful and unusable. My photographer didn't reach the requirements I had set and when looking through the photos I found them unprofessional and not at all idea for a fashion inspired image. The specific areas of location that I cleared of litter have been included in the images and the lighting is too bright. Post production doesn't make this image look any more professional. After noticing the images were unsuccessful my photographer and model were then unable to rearrange a date to collaborate and redo the shoot. This has taught me a lot about time management and finding the correct team members to avoid situations like this. The only usable image is a mid length image, which I am submitting as my final image. 

The above image is the location image I am very unsatisfied with using. Below, is the half body shot that I think would be a lot more suitable despite it not fitting the shoot requirements.

I have come to the decision that I will not submit the full length. Combining it with my other two images makes it look awful and I am not satisfied at all. This is well and truly a lesson learnt!

Styling

The styling for my character has to represent the theme of a 1920s lower class woman. The colours will slightly clash, showing the effects of a woman who tries to look like the rich but fails due to the means of the poor. She will always have a headscarf tied like a headband, in a pattern, representing her working class status. 

Shoot 1:

Blouse, Head Scarf (flows around neck).

Shoot 2: 

Shirt like dress representing work class, Head Scarf, Flat Pumps. Made to look creased and dirty after beating.

Shoot 3:

Black Maxi Skirt, Cream Blouse (not pure enough to be white), and Head Scarf (but used as prop).

Final Shoot - Scene 1

"Myrtle Wilson and The American Dream"

Model Casting

Myrtle was the outsider. She wasnt the beauttiful one. She wasnt honest, loving, caring. She was sly, egotistical and a big believer of the American Dream. The model casting was to find someone who didnt have a classic, photogenic face but did have a secret beauty. Someone who stood out as not the most attractive but still sold herself to men. 

Her scenes depict different emotions, but throughout the main are confusion, lust and sadness. The models natural eyes are drooped, but I think is perfect for these emotions.
