Quentin Evaluation

For my Quentin Character, i am pleased with the overall look of the makeup, costume and hair. Everything, also, turned out how i wanted. However, i did face alot of Trouble with the shooting. I origianlly wanted Quentin to be shot through a window while he is looking out to capture a feeling of longing and no escape. But as i began trying to shoot this, i immediately was faced with the problem of the reflections on the glass. I tried to put on the flash from the camera to get rid of the shadows, but the light from the flash was then reflected on the glass instead. The only image i could take through the window was a profile shot when taken at an angle. It is this particular image that is by far my favourite shot out of the whole project; Claudia included. By shooting through the glass, it created a kind of speckled film between the model and the lense. This translated to the image give the viewer a sense that there is an almost invisible barrier; which is Quentins cage. He can see into the outside world, but is trapped there by Claudia. The Candles in front, i feel, complete the look and add to the essence of the image and character. To take my front shot i changed the location and took it in front of a brick wall; which looks like a prison, in my opinion. Which was very fitting for my character. Overall though, i am extremely please with my Quentin design.

Here is the Image that i feel would look really amazing if my reflection was not visible on the glass:

I also feel that the car in the background is a bit of a shame, but if that was removed, the just the reflections of the trees on the window would make the image appear very aesthetically pleasing.















Once i turned on the flash, the possibility of images i could have taken was once again ruined by the flash reflection:
