It’s over. It’s offcially been handed in. Good luck to whoever is marking them.
The History Project has become a major part of our lives over the last few weeks: any spare time we thought we had has gone to it; the combined resources of four families have been devoted to it.
In fairness they all did really well. They learned a small slice of local history and they learned a lot about organising themselves as a team.
Our lot decided to do a video instead a model and true-to-form what might have been a documentary became a drama production. A big thanks to Hugh for doing a great job with the video but it fell to me to produce a cover shot.
So inspired by my recent reading I went for something slightly more ‘conceptual’ than my normal stuff. I even dragged out the studio backdrop and the strobes for it! The girls were very expressive (and patient) models and we had a bit of fun with the courtroom drama idea – whilst keeping the original home-grown costumes. We even shot a circular concept shot for the DVD label!
I’m quite pleased with it. It’s good to have to think of something different for a specific purpose. And while I much prefer location work for most of what I do, there are times when you need something more abstract.
