Tutorial

Within my tutorial yesterday we discussed the progression of my project, I explained to Sharon that I was really struggling with creating a 'scent' for my project. I had researched various options for the scent including scratch and sniff on pages as well as just scented paper and also making my own perfume to have in a bottle placed into my box. None of these options were easy for me to create without taking a lot of time out of my project and also risking that it might not work altogether. I discussed my concerns about this with Sharon explaining that a lot of the printed paper and scratch and sniff had to be done online and that the best company were also in America, making it even more risky. The make your own perfume could be done but this would require a lot more money and more time to create which I was both running out of. As a concluding result we decided it would be best to forget about the scent, Sharon explained to me that the scent did not need to be done, that originally it was a really good idea that made my project a whole package but that it did not make the project any better or need it and in fact could risk the project not working needing a lot more time to work on to get correct if done. This made me feel a lot more relaxed discussing this and finally deciding to not have it it meant I could concentrate more on my book and also the box.

Moving on from the discussion of my scent we started to discuss accessories, I showed Sharon the recent find I had which was the skull mask and she loved it, I still now am so happy that I got it. We discussed the fact that keiron had got back to me about borrowing some pieces for shoots and she offered that I could borrow one of her head pieces that her husband had brought her off of Kieron which was great as it added another accessory I could towards a shoot. I explained that nobody else I had emailed had replied to me, she told me to just keep persevering and emailing people to get a response but I was feeling quite negative about this. While I had been planning all my shoots I had also started to research locations for shoots as I knew I wanted to do a few location shoots for the project as these could look so effective with my theme. I had found a location that I thought would be brilliant for a shoot the medieval vaults in Southampton I had herd of these from a friend and showed Sharon the location I intended to hire out she agreed it was a perfect location for a shoot.

After having these discussion with Sharon I came out feeling a lot happier knowing I did not have the scent to think about anymore as it was causing me a lot of worry. I felt confident in moving forward with my project and getting the shoots planned and done and also booking the vault location making me really excited for the rest of my planning and shooting.
