Professional knowledge of the modeling profession
The origin of the modeling profession is commercial. Initially, it only served clothing sales and advertising effects. It has developed into a comprehensive profession. In the performing arts, a high-level model needs to integrate the knowledge of various arts such as clothing, music, dance, performance, sculpture, photography, art, etc. into one body, and carry out comprehensive artistic creation in the performance. Model friends, the following is about the professional knowledge of models, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
1. Dance art:
Dance is the soul of all arts. Dance is also the soul of steps and shapes in costume performances. Dance can make the body more beautiful. Rich. It will make the model's performance movements soft and natural, and the body language concise and clear. The transitions between movements are beautiful and smooth. In particular, every move of the modeling will be infiltrated with the understanding of clothing. Many movements in the fashion show have evolved from dance movements, but they are more life-like than dance.
2. Musical art:
It is background music in costume performances. It provides a spiritual and visual environment for the performance, so mastering basic music knowledge is a necessary career preparation for models. , with the strong and weak rhythm of the music, there is a basis for the speed progression, intensity changes, and momentum type of the model's steps. The main task of the model is to display and communicate, that is, to express the understanding of clothing and the feeling of dressing to the audience, and at the same time, this feeling should be integrated into the artistic conception of music to make his movements full of melody. Accurately embodying music is the focus of model music training. There are thousands of shortcuts to success as a model, but strengthening musical accomplishment is the only way to go.
3. Film performing arts:
Models should learn to watch performances and watch how movie actors control their expressions and inner investment according to different roles, such as wearing evening gowns How people walked into the hall, their expressions, etc. Watching and learning more in this way is very helpful in changing the performance.
4. Art:
Fashion models also need to pay attention to the artificial models displayed in shopping malls. They cannot move and have no smiles on their faces, but they always give people a sense of momentum. A feeling of nobility and a noble temperament. Studying these sculptures can not only improve the expressive power, but also be beneficial to improving the inner temperament.
T stage catwalk knowledge
The catwalk steps are dynamic, but the starting position is a static posture, so the key points start from the posture. The model coach reminds you to pay attention to keeping the body straight and pulling upward. Strength, the neck is straight, the head is upright, the chin is flat, the shoulders droop naturally, the hands should not appear stiff and weak, the upper body should be relaxed as much as possible, avoid unnecessary movements, prevent the abdomen from thrusting forward and the buttocks from sticking back, and the buttocks cannot twist to one side when walking. , keep your abdomen in and your chest up, don’t lower your head and hold your breasts in your hands to look down at the ground. When taking a step, step out and drive the thigh, then lift the knee (knee is slightly bent), the inside of the knee should be close to each other, and finally the calf drives the foot. The foot should be in a straight line when landing, not a small semicircle, and the front toes should be pointed outward. This is because of the Chinese model's The calves are in a '?0? shape, and the toes can be corrected a little.
The route is the trajectory of the model's displacement. During the performance, the model should walk in a straight line. Whether it is diagonal or curved, it must be arranged accordingly. It is a changing factor that cannot be ignored. Different routes will cause differences between the models and between the models and the audience. The different relationships between the models and the stage, the route changes the formation, and the formation changes the visual effect.
The direction in the steps is also a kind of language. The face-to-face direction is intimate, and the back-to-back direction is contrast. When facing the audience, the positive effect of the clothing is displayed, because the model communicates more directly with the audience at this time, and it is easier to be taken seriously. The return performance has its back to the audience, but this does not mean the end of the performance, but the beginning of another visual method, because the costume performance in motion is a four-dimensional art, and the dynamic effect on the back is irreplaceable.
Although there are specific rules for the steps, models can still come up with their own style, and their body shape characteristics and personality types should be displayed in the steps. On the one hand, you have to explore this on your own, and on the other hand, it also depends on the vision of the director. If they treat the performance personality with tolerance, do not impose their own requirements on the models who have mature basic skills, and give their subordinates space to express themselves, In the face of some super-standard movements, if he can distinguish what is the result of lack of training and what is the expression of personality and style, he is a qualified artist. Not every choreographer has such qualities. Be open-minded.
The rhythm of the stage reflects the model's coordination level with the two arts of music and performance. Several different styles of music, including slow, rapid and medium speed, should be used to train the model's adaptability. In particular, some rhythms should be selected. Not too strong in sex. Do not use percussion tunes to test the model's feelings. This is the easiest way to expose the model's weakness in breaking down the melody structure.
The gait during costume performances changes from time to time. Chinese clothes can be more subtle, suits can be more calm, and trendy clothes can swing the hips more, and the steps may not necessarily stay in one line. You can walk like an ordinary person. Similarly, you can also cross step; sportswear can run and jump, or you can use stage steps with dance elements; the gait of cheongsam performance is relatively stable, the feet walk in a straight line, the rhythm is slow, the eyes should not move randomly, and the gestures should be in front of the chest Most of them have double-clasped hands; while the gait of the dress performance should have Western characteristics, and the gait should be stable, but not like a lady, but like an aristocratic salon, with a sense of calmness and a bit of aloofness.
The characteristics of a model’s steps are determined by different factors. For example, the theme of the scene, the designer's requirements, clothing style, and fashion trends determine the changes in the stage steps on the scene. ;
