Looking back to my 'Testing' post I noted down a couple of points that were discussed with my tutor.

Firstly organising a date to film and collaborates:

I am currently trying to plan when to film and organising the collaborates involved. I found a studio nearby my hometown where I can shoot the film for a reasonable cost, because I am running behind on my schedule I decided to book the studio for the 11th of March so that then I would have plenty of time to edit as I will also be out of the country during the Easter break.

I confirmed the date with the collaborated and the studio but soon after my videographer let me know that he couldn't make it, I also found out that we had our progress presentation so had to change the date. Luckily I didn't put the deposit down just yet!!
I managed to change the studio date to the 18th and have order my props and organised a 'back-up' model. 

Secondly deliberating model choice:

As I did my dissertation on gender indentity and gender blurring I wanted to incorporate that concept, also as the overall idea is to put the viewers into a questioning mindset I thought using a male model would enhance this. My tutor suggested to consider using a female model, I did some research into possible models I could use for the project and deliberated changing my original concept to using a female model instead. After sleeping on it I followed my gut instinct to use a male model as I felt like it makes the film more experimental and unusual, as well as embracing the concept of blurring genders. 

And thirdly, scraping the make-up or having it drip?:

As my tutor suggested scrapping the make-up off instead of having it drip I decided to practice it to see how it will look (which will be shown in my next post) to see which one is more affective. Furthermore after realising there may be some issues with using the technique that would create a dripping affect due to it stinging the eyes I may have to use the scrapping or find a different way to make it work.
