Model expertise

The origin of modeling is commercialization. At first, it only served for clothing sales and advertising effects, but now it has become a comprehensive performing art. A high-level model needs to integrate artistic knowledge such as clothing, music, dance, performance, sculpture, photography and art, and carry out comprehensive artistic creation in the performance. Model friends, the following is the professional knowledge about models, hoping to help everyone.

1. Dance Art:

Dance is the soul of all arts, and it is also the soul of catwalk and modeling in fashion shows, which can enrich the posture. It will make the model's performance gentle and natural, and the body language is concise and clear. The transition between movements is graceful and smooth. In particular, the model's every move will penetrate the understanding of clothing. Many movements in fashion shows are evolved from dance movements, but they are more active than dance.

2. Music art:

In fashion shows, it is background music, which provides a spiritual and visual environment for the performance. Therefore, mastering basic music knowledge is a necessary professional preparation for models. With the strength of music rhythm, the speed, progress, dynamics and momentum types of model catwalk have a basis. The main task of the model is to show and communicate, that is, to express the audience's understanding of clothing and feelings about it, and at the same time to integrate this feeling into the artistic conception of music, so that their actions are full of melody. Accurately shaping music is the focus of model music training. There are thousands of shortcuts to model success, but strengthening music cultivation is the only way.

3. Film performing arts:

Models should learn to watch performances, depending on how movie actors grasp their expressions according to different roles, and grasp their inner input, such as how people wearing evening dresses enter the hall, how their expressions are, and so on. Therefore, watching more and learning more is very helpful to change the performance of thousands of clothes.

4. Art:

Fashion models should also pay attention to the artificial models displayed in shopping malls. They can't move, and there is no smile on their faces, but they always give people a sense of movement and a lofty temperament. Learning these sculptures can not only improve their expressive force, but also improve their inner temperament.

Treadmill knowledge

The catwalk is dynamic, but the starting posture is static, so the essentials should start with the posture. The model coach reminded us to stand up and have the strength to pull up. Keep your neck straight, your head straight, your chin flat, your shoulders droop naturally, your hands should not be stiff and weak, your upper body should be relaxed as much as possible, and unnecessary movements should be avoided to prevent your abdomen from leaning forward and your hips from tilting up. When walking, don't twist your hips to one side, tuck in your abdomen and hold out your chest, and don't look down at the ground. When stepping, step out to drive your thighs, then lift your knees (knees slightly bent), and the inside of your knees should be close. Finally, the calf drives the foot, and the foot is in a straight line. You can't draw a small semicircle and land, and your front toes roll outward. This is because China's calf model is? 0? Type a, toe curl can be corrected a little.

Route is the trajectory of model displacement. Whether the performance should be straight, oblique or curved is a variable factor that cannot be ignored. Different routes will form different relationships between models, between models and audience, and between models and stage. Route changes formation, formation changes visual effect.

Positioning in catwalk is also a language. Face-to-face orientation is intimate, and back-to-back orientation is comparative. When facing the audience, it shows the positive effect of clothing, because the model communicates directly with the audience at this time and is easily taken seriously. Returning to the performance should turn your back on the audience, but this does not mean that the performance is over, but the beginning of another visual way, because the costume performance in action is a four-dimensional art and the dynamic effect on the back is irreplaceable.

Although there are specific rules for catwalks, models can still walk out of their own styles, and their body characteristics and personality types should be displayed in catwalks. On the one hand, we should explore on our own, and on the other hand, we should look at the director's vision. If they are tolerant of performance personality, don't impose their own requirements on models with mature basic skills, give their subordinates room to perform, and face some actions that exceed the standard, they can distinguish what is the result of insufficient training and what is the performance of personality style. He is a qualified artist. Not every director has such qualities and is so open-minded.

The rhythm of the runway reflects the coordination level of the model in music and performance. It is necessary to use several different styles of music, such as slow, fast and medium speed, to train the adaptability of models, especially to choose some ones with less sense of rhythm. Without the melody of percussion instrument to contrast the feelings of the model, it is the easiest to expose the weakness of the model in decomposing the melody structure.

The gait of the costume show changes from time to time. Hanfu can be more subtle, suits more calm, trendy clothes with more crotch swing, and the pace may not necessarily keep a line. They can walk or stride like ordinary people. Sportswear can run and jump, or you can use a catwalk with dance elements; The gait of the cheongsam performance is relatively stable, the feet walk in a straight line, the rhythm is slow, the eyes don't move, and the gestures are mostly hands holding the chest; The gait of dress performance should have western characteristics and be stable, but it is not a feeling of family, but a feeling of aristocratic salon, which is somewhat cold and arrogant in stability.

The characteristics of model catwalk should be determined by different factors. Such as the theme of the scene, designer's requirements, clothing style, fashion trends to determine the changes in the scene.
