School project -
Intensive week
With three colleagues, we carried out a project exploring the impact of jeans on everyday life, through a visual approach inspired by cinema.
Our goal was to capture the movement and attitude of a protagonist evolving in an urban environment, highlighting how jeans adapt to each moment of her day.
By merging different cinematic references, we sought to transcribe an atmosphere that is both immersive and iconic, where clothing becomes a true vector of emotions and narration.
As part of our project,
We each did a photo shoot and brought our own vision through individual retouching work.
The goal was to explore different interpretations of denim and its visual impact, drawing on our cinematic inspirations.
For my part,
I chose to take a futuristic and dark approach, playing on contrasts and lighting to give an almost enigmatic atmosphere.
My intention was to transcribe an aesthetic that was both timeless and modern, where jeans became a structuring element of the visual, evoking a strong and mysterious silhouette.
SHOOTING
Our project is inspired by two major works: Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Enter the Void (2009) .
The famous opening scene of John Badham's film, where Tony Manero walks confidently through the streets of Brooklyn, guided us in constructing our staging: a rhythmic gait, attention to sartorial details, and a strong interaction with the city.
We wanted to transpose this energy into Paris, highlighting jeans as a central element of the character's style and expression.
At the same time, we adopted a visual approach inspired by Gaspar Noé, notably with immersive back shots that immerse the viewer in the character's subjectivity.
This choice reinforces the feeling of intimacy and immersion, while allowing the jeans to stand out as an element of continuity between each movement and setting crossed.
