After doing my first shoot, I decided I didn't want to have the behind the scenes footage filmed because I don't think it will be interesting to watch. I also felt that the behind the scenes images were more important as they would be the banner of many pages on my website, so I wanted to make sure they were good quality and professional looking. I will create a slideshow of behind the scenes images to replace the proposed video.

The most time consuming preparation for shooting scene 2 was doing all the alterations to the black dress that my Sofia's tailor had made. The most time consuming part was tightening all the loose strips of elastic around her stomach and hips because I had to cut them shorter and then sew each one on individually. Sofia's tailor stuck the strips of elastic on with glue so some of them had pinged off what put on the model and some of the glue was very visible. I therefore had to remove a lot of the glue and sew the loose strips back on. The leather lining around the bottom of the skirt had come loose so I stuck that back on with double sided sticky tape. The tailor used red thread on some areas so I covered that colour with a black pen. There were other small aspects I had to fix; however once I was finished I was pleased with the outcome and couldn't wait to try it on my model to see the finished result.
