Test Shoot For Givenchy Advert

 First Shoot...

I done a test shoot to test one of my idea i had for the advert for Givenchy, this was to use petals which had started to die which would be to represent my idea of showing global warming.
The shoot didn't turn out how i would have wanted it too, i think the lighting wasn't right as i dont think this shows the type of lighting which Givenchy uses in their adverts. I like the idea of the advert and what i was trying to do but it just didn't come out how i wanted it. 
I wanted an image that has slightly more too it, by that i mean shows more depth and meaning, this image is quit flat and has no attitude to it which i need for it to work as a Givenchy Advert.
Next time i will make sure i get the model to look straight at the camera like in the Givenchy adverts because thats what gives these adverts more attitude and makes their adverts intense. I think i also need more of the model in shot as i think this is too close up, another problem i had with these images is that i didn't think about where i would be putting the text, because Givenchy either has their text in the middle of top right but i needed to make my text really small to fit it at the top because the text didn't show up on the hair as its black writing, but the white one didn't show up because of the white background. I need to think of a way to position the model in the frame so i can fit the text at the top or if it will fit in the image right having the text in the middle of the image.
Overall i don't like the idea of displaying the petals on the face, i think it would look better with the model holding the flowers, i also think that having the flowers dried would look more effective and stand out, i would like them to stand out more because this is the main link to my word of inspiration. 
This has helped me plan my next shoot and know what i need to do next time to get the desired look i want for my advert.
