After communicating with Rosie and Natalie throughout the week from the test shoot, we were able to work together to look at ideas regarding each hairstyle. Below are the images we were working to, for four of the five senses. Rosie wasn't certain about taste yet, and this sense was to be shot on the second day (5th march).
The images are all appropriate to the senses of touch (crimped style) smell (Slicked back framing the face) Hearing (Volume within the hair and sight (2 bunches replicating eyes).
The makeup is very neutral subtle make-ups which fit in with Rosies portfolio, and also with our models face.
The shoot itself began well, with myself and Natalie working together and the hour designated for make-up being kept punctual and the model being ready for costume by 10:30am. However the day then began to go dramatically wrong. Our stylist steam pressed trousers on our model, which when she is under hot lights and in very thick fleeced fashion garments, and the model began to feel ill, sitting herself down onto the floor for air. Natalie took full charge of the situation as the model lay herself down and the stylist attempted to cool her by flapping a paper bag onto her producing cool air. I then went into the room and was advised what was happening. I offered assistance, and advised Natalie to apply some cool compress' onto her neck which would reduce the heat. Laura began to shake quite a lot saying she was cold but insisting she was fine. Rosie made her technicians aware of this but they were not concerned at this stage. Laura proceeded to model after this, although we were all very aware of her feeling unwell. As Rosie asked her if she was ok stood in front of the camera she replied 'Yes' before fainting. This time Laura was not well at all, and a technician was immediately called back with a first aider. Being in the situation but unable to help I just made sure there were several cups of cold water available, and the cool compresses were also available. Rosie called off the shoot and I drove Laura home and made sure she had somebody to look after her. However I left the shoot feeling I should now educate myself in first aid and be able to hand and help with a situation much better today - even knowledge of the basic recovery position and how to help somebody who has fainted would be beneficial. Therefore from today I will now be looking into first aid courses and where I can partake in one.
Meanwhile regarding the shoot, Laura felt much better that evening and was happy to try again the next day, where we would all be cautious but happy to continue the shoot.
