Production 2 - APTA Launch - Moulin Rouge

 Production 2 - APTA Launch - Moulin Rouge:

1st October 2020:

Today as a group we discussed the topic of Moulin Rouge and as a group we agreed to each research different topics before coming back together and discussing the information we had found, I agreed to research the colours that were commonly used for this theme and I made notes to contribute to the group discussion.















After a group discussion about out research, we all agreed to create our initial designs then to present them to the group. This is my initial design:


 











After presenting our initial designs we discovered that all our designs were very similar, and we agreed to create our developed designs. Discussing our designs allowed us to make all the designs coherent which then makes the makeups coherent. This is me developed design:


 











During this production meeting we talked about the factors that needed to be taken into consideration when creating our designs as it would be performed on stage, this meant that it would be performed under intense lighting so a darker shade of foundation may need to be used to prevent the performer being washed out by the lights and the makeup will need to be more intense so that it can be seen on by the audience, this also prevents the facial features being lost due to the distance.

We followed government guidelines during our production meeting by adhering to social distancing guidelines. We also agreed that I would complete the budget for this production but the performers were applying their own makeup which meant that the budget was product recommendations rather than specific products, this also prevents any pressure to buy products listed as that can be expensive and the performers may already have some of their own makeup.

2nd October 2020

As a group we decided to practice our makeup and then create a face chart.

This is my makeup practice:




This makeup is flawlessly blended, the details can be seen from a distance and the glitter in the hair is reflective meaning in can be seen from the audience, however, to improve I could make the contour darker so that it can be seen on stage which prevents the facial features getting lost in the distance.

This is my face chart:


 


 









When creating the list of product recommendations, I looked at different websites that sold affordable products including Superdrug and Boots.

I made notes of different products then selecting a few different products to give to the performers as recommendations.

These are my notes:




This is the list of product recommendations:

1990s Research

1990s Research: Makeup in the 1990s was very varied and contained lots of different subcultures including heroin chic, grunge, indie, raves were still popular, and the Ibiza theme became very popular which meant that festivals were very popular. Heroin chic was a look that consisted of pale skin, dark circles under the eyes and looking unhealthily skinny and almost emaciated. Some people described the models as looking skeletal and there was a public outcry as it glamourized drug use and eating disorders. Heroin became popular against middle classes and could be snorted rather than injected which removed some of the previous stigma, it was shown in fashion through unhealthily skinny models but also in films such as ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Trainspotting’ (The Recovery Village, 2019). Some models that are famously known for this are Kate Moss, Jaime King, and Jodie Kidd and Calvin Klein were one of the most famous brands using heroin chic in their campaigns and many famous models posed f...

Prosthetics Making and Experimentation

  Prosthetics Making and Experimentation: 15 th February 2021: Today I used my sculptures to create the rest of my prosthetics. These are my right ear prosthetics: These are my face and chin prosthetics: They will be separated before being put on the face. These are my eyebrow prosthetics: These are my nose prosthetics:  17 th February 2021: Today I began experimenting with my prosthetics and loosely applied them to the face to get a vague idea of how they will look on the face. I applied an earpiece, cheek and nose piece to the face and practiced painting them. This is the earpiece: This ear prosthetic fit really well, however, the paint could be slightly more blended to prevent the colours appearing blocky. This is the cheek piece: The paint could have been slightly more blended, and I could use a smaller brush to shade the grooves as the lines are too thick. This is the nose: The nose fits really well but I could use cotton underneath to prevent ...

1970s Research

  1970s Research: The 1970s was extremely diverse and makeup ranged from very natural to very intense with different subcultures including disco and punk. Natural makeup was also popular. Blush was quite natural in terms of both colour and application and creams, powders and gel formulas were used. From the mid-1970s, blush became more intense and was in stripes across the cheeks sometimes even from the temples down. A tanned look was desired which means that bronzer was used to create a sun-kissed glow (Hair and Makeup Artist Handbook, 2013). Eyebrows ranged from very skinny and over-plucked to slightly thicker, skinny eyebrows were curved similar to how they were in the 1920s and thicker eyebrows were slightly shaped with an arch, these were similar to the eyebrows in the 1950s (Hair and Makeup Artist Handbook, 2013). Eyeliner varied depending on the subculture you were part of people who wore more natural makeup often wouldn’t wear eyeliner, but others would wear it on t...
