Howard Schatz - Acting exersise

Howard Schatz is an american photographer, who created a collection of images called in character. In these images he photographed celebrities and asked them to pull the expressions that they think would best fit the character in a scenario he describes. See some examples below.

We then had to carry out an exercise in which we recreated our own version of the images. I found this exercise fun but challenging at the same time. I found the La Girl the hardest character to re-create as I don't feel I am 'sassy' enough to play that character and I found it really forced. If i was to do this exercise again I would look into changing up the styling between each photograph to really emphasise the character that I was playing.

I think that this task was really helpful in showing us how important the facial expressions of the character in our fashion film will be in order to evoke the emotion the emotion we are trying to portray.
