Tests for lens for fashion shoot

On Monday we the group and I booked out studio 2, as we wanted to create a mock up of the set using c-stands and tripods to represent the forest. We tried to position the tripods to create a sense of confinement around the model. We also wanted to create this feeling, through the camera position and the camera lens that we will be using (tested out a 80mm, 120mm and then 50 lens) Whilst positioning the tripods to a certain height to mimic the design of the trees.
We also booked out a Hassel bald camera and used the focus, to take some pictures. This was a really quite set up, and we will have to re test the lens when our set up is complete.

 

These 3 images were taken with a 80mm. These lens is OK but it is quite narrow in its depth of field so some of the 'trees' would be lost.

The images below,  were taken with  a 120mm. We all agreed, this this lens was too wide for our set- it would mean that we would take up a whole studio because we would have to be quite far back in order to get the whole scene in. There is also a lot of unnecessary space surrounding this scene.

 

 

These three images were taken with a 50mm lens. Even though in this last frame there is some space in the foreground of the picture, I think this lens gives the illusion of space but is not as a compact as a standard lens, as it is a more wider lens.
Therefore...... we are looking at using a 50lens (but haven't tested the rest of the lens because they were taken out when we set up) as it has the right sort of field of depth we are looking at but has not the compact depth of field the standard lens has. However I think this might work well with our set but I think more experimentation is needed.......
