Make-up Designs.

  We decided that because we are going to start filming soon we should start seeing what doing the face paints on a person would be like. So the first step in all of this was to find someone who wouldn't mind being painted and filmed whenever they are needed. So bravely I volunteered to help out the group. So then me and Jessica had a walk up to C block to have a look at the face paints that were available in school. We had a look at the paints that were available and what paints would look best for our genre. This lead us to find this white and black face paint with the sponges and so we got to work. We first applied a think-ish layer of white face paint. This gave me a a white complexion so that I would look scary, pale and more or less a look-a-like of the grudge - this is because most thrillers have a ghost or spirit that would be dead so we took the idea that I could of been like a spirit, the white paint made it look like I was dead as when you are dead they drain all of the blood out of your body.


  We then took a paintbrush so that we can get into the smaller places of my eyes- this was for the black, with being able to get into the smaller places we managed to make it look more professional. We then combined this with some black and grey eye shadow to give it more of a softer look as she swept it up to my eye brows- This part was Ashleigh's idea as she liked the combination of the soft black & grey eye shadow and the black paint. This gave my eyes more of a two-toned look, we applied the paint of top of the white then we covered it in black eye shadow to give that eerey effect to my eyes.This is because in a thriller the most common things to notice is their black beady eyes that pierce their souls. The idea with having a large part of my face covered with black is so that it can make a statement, if we had only of done a small outline of my eyes then it wouldn't be as noticeable and people wouldn't get the full effect.

   She also used a paintbrush and the black face paint on my lips so that it too will look rather black and scary- usually they don't have black lips but we decided to challenge the conventions of the thriller as we could then see if it worked. There is a symbolism of black throughout our film as we have the stalker dressed in back, we have the black make up. This is so we can get a hidden message across to the audience.We have done this twice now, and every time we are getting better and better at this. The second time that we did this I bought in some black clothes so that we can film in various places and to get a real feel of what this would be like.

This is our make up video of what we done to get the creepy effect of a white face and black eyes and lips.
