So me and my group met up on Thursday to chat more about our cupcake project and brainstormed ideas for our photo shoot we have to plan for the store. Before meeting up I researched shoots that I thought would be good references. My first thought was WILDFOX! I love Wildfox and all there shoots, they are such a good site to go to for inspiration! Every shoot is fun and cheeky, which is what we would like to convey with our cupcake shoot. Jordan in my group had also looked at Wildfox too, so I was glad to know we were on the same page in terms of ideas, as that can be the trickiest part of working in a group!
I think we had all thought at first that we would go down the root of creating a Wildfox like shoot with some sort of fun tea party like the images above, but after speaking to Nicola, we realized we needed to think a bit deeper and think more about a different location that represents fun and vintage. So we decided that we would take a trip to one of England most popular and fun sea side resorts- Blackpool!
We're going to look in the tower ballroom to see if we could include dance in our shoot as Strictly Cupcakes also own Strictly Dancing. We're also going to look at arcades, the pier, the beach and the pleasure beach fun fair as this would be the perfect backdrop for a really fun shoot and cupcake shop!
We've arranged to meet in Blackpool on Monday at 10.
After meeting up in class, we visited our store- Strictly Cupcakes to chat to the owner and get a feel of the store and brand. We met the owner Joanne who in all honesty, didn't seem too interested in what we are doing! We were all polite and introduced ourselves and explained the project and all she had to say was- 'OK, well someones done this before from UCLan, and flyers and posters don't work!'
Despite not getting a great vibe from the owner, we had a look round the store to get some ideas and we really loved how bright and colourful the store is! We can't wait to represent this in our shoot!
