Production 7 - Short Film

 Production 5 - Short film

18th May 2021:

We did not have any planning for this short film, Drew and I were asked to complete this makeup as we are very experienced in casualty effects and we could complete this makeup to a high standard without any planning. I demonstrated my communication skills by asking the film students when they were filming and what they were hoping this slit throat would look like, we then demonstrated teamwork skills as Drew sculpted the slit throat and then I painted it and added blood. This is the slit throat: 


This makeup worked as the edges of the silicone were well blended which prevents the paint clinging to the edges and alcohol paints were used which means they will last longer as they won’t be affected by water as much as aqua paints would be. 

Only the neck would be shown on camera so we didn't need to complete a HD makeup on the face and when completing this makeup, I followed government guidelines by wearing a medical mask and visor and I avoided touching the face with my hands as much as possible. I also demonstrated good organizational and hygiene skills as I had a clean and tidy makeup bay, and I used the cut away method for every product that was used, I also demonstrated good communication skills by speaking to my performer to make them feel comfortable. As we hadn't planned for this look, we didn't have our kits so we had to use the products available at college and completing this makeup without any planning shows resilience, dedication, and flexibility. 

We also didn't have chance to make a prosthetic which means that we had to use out of the kit techniques to complete this look which can make it very hard to recreate and this could cause continuity errors so we took lots of progress pictures to ensure this can be recreated easily. These are some pictures of the steps:

Final Makeup Evaluation

  Final Makeup Write Up: 11 th May 2021: Today, after all of my preparation and hard work, I was finally able to use my practical skills to create my final makeup. This is my final look: These are some photos of my process:  Evaluation: This makeup translated onto the face really well and looked how I had imagined it; grease and alcohol paints were used which means that the makeup would last longer if needed and there’s no chance of the makeup sweating off like aqua paints would which is very important for this look as any inconsistencies would be very obvious and would ruin the look. The colours were also the colours I had hoped for and the light complimented the colours extremely well.    The hair was also how I had imagined it and the curls weren’t too tight, I had also backcombed the hair so that it helped support the crown during the final photos. However, some of the edges of the prosthetics weren’t completely blended so they could be seen slightly, my paint didn’t c

The first was Catherine of Aragon, they were married in 1509 and they had a daughter in 1516, who was Mary I. Henry and Catherine were married for 23 years until Henry divorced her as she didn’t provide him with a male heir. The Roman Catholic Church refused to approve the divorce, so Henry created the Church of England (History, 2020).

1940s Research

  1940s Research: The second World War started in 1939 and came to an end in September 1945, resulting in men and boys as young as 16 being sent to fight in the war, this meant that women were left at home and more women were going to work, they would work in the shops and factories while the men were away. Millions of lives were lost during the war with one of the biggest tragedies being the Holocaust which resulted in the mass genocide of 6 million Jews (History, 2009). Due to working during the war, women didn’t prioritise makeup however, it was still used. Due to rationing there wasn’t many products available meaning women had to be creative and often returned to using old techniques which were seen as outdated, but they were also referred to as being better than nothing. These substitutes included “burnt cork for mascara, cochineal or beetroot juice for lipstick, bi-carbonate of soda for deodorant and gravy browning for leg tint” (Hair and Makeup Artist Handbook, 2013).
