Day at Norwich Fashion Week- collaboration part 3

So this was the third time we all managed to meet up during the course of this project.

The university put on an event and Norwich Open in conjunction with Norwich Fashion Week. The events we were scheduled in for were:
~production talk with Tamsin Morgans/east coast production
           This was helpful because we learnt        what the most important things to have ready were when doing shoots for example: mood boards are good for building a story, think about permits, think about how many shots you want and allow time for  hair and makeup, hair and makeup can take up 50% of the shoot, put everything down on a call sheet; make sure everything is written down so if something goes wrong or off plan you have the written plan to refer back to and people need as much notice as possible.
~ Wex Photographic talk
         We were told a good application/handy application to invest in and get was set-a-light Pro because you are able to create a virtual environment and that can tell you what conditions you need for studio shoots and settings the camera needs to be on for the lighting you want.
~how to communicate drama and narrative through direction and style with Kylie Griffiths and Sophie Lachowycz
        I didn't really get a lot out of this talk, I felt it was set up more for the fashion students and would have benefitted from it more than one of the other talks. A few things I learnt from this talk were:
1. It's not just about collaboration it's about making friendships and networking
2. Pinterest is good for getting your ideas together
3. Always have a shot list
4. 2 weeks is the bare minimum you need to prepare for a shoot but be flexible with your time
5. Be optimistic with what you can achieve but try pushing for more
6. Connections are one of the most important things
7. Don't be scared to follow up with a company or a photographer if you have emailed them.
8. Be your own works biggest fan- if you don't really love something it will show
9. It's important to assist
10.  Always try and network to build your own work.

In some talks from this day I got a lot out of them and learnt a lot however other talks I felt that they were more suited to the fashion students more than others I understand they had to have something for everyone however looking back at it there wasn't really much on offer for the film students as it was more aimed at the photography and fashion production side of things.
Overall I thought this day was helpful to an extent but in other ways it just wasn't at all helpful, I like to think I took a little bit of information away from every talk that would be helpful for myself in future
