Scenes from on and off the camera

It's every girls' dream to dress-up like a doll. They can wear beautiful clothes and put on a lot of make-up but not all dolls are cute and pretty. The film "The Doll Master" shows the possibility that dolls have a soul and can develop human emotions as time passes. They can experience happiness with their owners or feel anger at being outgrown and thrown away without a second thought...and eventually seek vengeance.


Our group choose this film because its not like your typical toy or doll-themed story. The plot is uniquely different.

The Doll Master
One of the challenges we faced during our brainstorming was our wardrobe. We wanted to look like dolls and do "doll-like" poses and still not stray from the film's plot. 


For this photoshoot we decided to wear our old clothes. It may not look like it but these costumes were our dresses when were kids!



We had a hard time in dressing up and even experienced some minor wardrobe malfunctions but we all managed to pull through and deliver a nice photoshoot.






Dolls are normally perceived to be sweet, pretty and cute and somehow it's strange that dolls can be portrayed as frightening and scary. Dressed up as dolls, we tried our best to put on scary faces. Although we struggled to create doll-like poses and positions, we managed to have different shots as dolls.

The experience of having to portray different characters was very challenging and yet we had a LOT OF FUN! We were able to express ourselves through the photographs taken, allowed us to show our creative sides and gave us the chance to showcase our resourcefulness.

 

A big THANK YOU to Innah Andrea Corral and Eliza Luces for taking our pictures.
