Quick Thinking...

-when thinking about 'Our Betty' inspired by the front cover of the book - do a granny chic shoot/geek chic shoot-looking at the traditional customer that the library has- the new silver surfer?- modernised?

-character based shoot- iconic actors/stereotypes/different tribes that visit the library- maybe look at portraits for this- styling the neck upwards- hats, spectacles, make-up?



-escapism- extremities- placing something incredible in a usually dull, mundane place to enhance the idea of GILIL project

-for the final imagery, show the whole process for the fashion image- so the final image out of 6 will be the fashion image I have wanted to create and the first 5 images will be photographs of the process of the shoot and the development of ideas- almost literally like I'm telling my own story- this links to the literal need of a library- to research, read, develope, think.

-go back to the extreme taste brief- looking at paper fashion- hanging garments- put these beautiful pieces in a dull looking library- contrast to library- I could remake the pieces and the actual paper for the pieces I could use from the book-literally scan in pages from the book, print these onto paper and remake the garments.

Visuals

As mentioned when I picked up 'Our Betty' I was excited by the cover, Liz looks great: my immediate thought for this brief was to do a tongue in cheek, granny chic shoot, something that's quite fun, playful and humourous.

These are some visuals that could reflect this granny chic theme the styling with the JLS guys I could interpret with a model, also I love the image of the elderly lady. I love the fact that yes she may be a little older than the next style icon, but she is quite glamourous and you can see she has considered her outfit.





I love the images of the women who have been behind the bar in Coronation Street, just the use of the photoframes is really fun and for 'Our Betty' very fitting. This is something I feel Liz would have set up in her home- lots of photographs of grandchildren, performances, family etc. So when I consider my presentation for this brief I could replicate this.
