POST APOCALYPTIC FASHION SHOW
When we started the planning for this concept I didn't really understand it. Until I remembered I used to watch a programme on TV called THE TRIBE. The tribe was a New Zealand/British post-apocalyptic fictional TV series primarily aimed at teenagers. It is set in a near-future in which all adults have been wiped out by a deadly virus, leaving the children of the world to fend for themselves. The show's focus is on an unnamed city inhabited by tribes of children and teenagers.
I used to watch this all the time. So I decided to take some outfit ideas and makeup ideas from the programme.
We wanted to do a fashion walk video and we needed to think about an location, as a group we had a long chat and some people including myself thought it would be a good idea to use the old building across the car park.
We went over to check it out and it was great, we had so many ideas so we booked it out for our location, which we were happy with.
I Start to pull all my ideas together for this shoot.

DAY BEFORE THE PHOTOSHOOT AND VIDEO
After everything was coming together nicely, I thought it would be a good idea to make sure the location was still ok to use because we needed to move some thing around. When I found the guy who has the keys, he had told me that the location wasn't booked out so panic set in .... I asked what did he mean and I was told that we weren't allowed to use it for health and safely reasons ... well the day before the fashion shoot this isn't what we needed .. so I came up with a back up plan - the TV studio its has all pull down lights and steel bars so it really did look post apocalyptic. I found Christina who is a light tech at the college and asked her if we could use it. I explained what had happened with the last location and she really did pull everything out the bag for us. So on the morning of the shoot Christina pulled out all the metal boxes and rigs and staging and made a piece of art work in the middle of the room for our models to stand on for the shoot and we also used this for the fashion show.
My Finished Looks Below
Here I felt I had finished my look but I wasn't happy at all with the end result so I decided to change it because I had to much fall out from the Black eyeshadow. It just made the skin look black and I couldn't get rid of black underneath the eye. I tried to cover over with makeup but it didn't work and made it look so bad. So I decided to take all the foundation off and started again. I'm so glad I did this because my finished result looked so much better :-).
This was my finished look the above and below pictures. I'm so happy with the end result and I think the whole day went as well as expected. I'm just upset that the 60 second clip of my model wouldn't download to upload on here but I'm going to try and get this sorted some how. I love the end result - all we need to do is edit the fashion show video for the showcase night because this is being played in one of the rooms.
We also took group photo's which you can see a couple below.
SHOWCASE NIGHT
The post apocalyptic video took 3 days to edit but wow it was worth it and a BIG thanks to Christina for helping us out and pulling it all together it looked fab. On the night the video was played on all the big screens on a loop so no one had to man it. here below is a small clip of what it looked like.
