Makeup and clothing

Makeup of the girls

Each of these girls are used as victims, and have been in captivity for a while. The girls, are meant to have been kidnapped, and the filming is done weeks after the incident. This means that the girls would need to0 have signs showing of wearing away (clothing if used ). They have also been victimised which means that they would need to be presented as exhausted and have bruises if they were abused.

In order to get the effect of this we did the steps, in the following order:

1. The base layer of the face was very pale foundation, paler than their natural skin tone to add the effect that they are ill, make have been starved and have had a lack of being able to take care and look after themselves with little facilities.

2. Areas of the face that needed to look exhausted and tired, such as under the eyes to create eye bags, we used a slightly darker foundation/concealer, to show a more clear effect and difference over the face.

3. Around the eye, different shades of purple, browns, reds and oranges were blended, light up until the darker colours to show bruises as if they were black eyes. We felt that to create the best effect for this, little was more and that we were probably better off having light bruising rather then over doing it and it looking unrealistic.

4. Some of the areas of the face, when the light was shone onto them showed a shiny and reflective look over the face and this made it look obvious that there was the use of makeup involved. In order to get rid of this problem, we covered it in a light powder that got rid of any shiny looks. However nearer the scalp, we though that it would look good to leave it a bit to make it loom like grease from the lack of being able to wash and clean.

5. The last feature that we did was to put a big of m
ascara onto the the models eyelashes. However instead of making it all neat, I clumped the lashes together, and when it was dry, rubbed them together leaving some of the mascara to brush off and flake onto the models face. This gives the effect that she has been crying a lot.

Costume for the Bandaged model

1. The model, wore a plain white bando, and black leggings. This meant, with the light use of colour for the bando, when covered with bandages, it would make it easier for the colour to be covered and there was less surface area to cover with a thickness of bandages. To make sure that we has a good base layer, we used white toilet roll to wrap Ami's body in. This made the body look lighter under the bandages as well. We resulted in using toilet roll also to ensure that the cost of the bandages were not too high especially seeing as we were limited, with a small budget.

2. To make sure that all of the models hair was back, we tied it into a plait and then put it back into a swimming hat so that all of it was tied securely back. The hair being slick back meant that it was easier to handle and manage especially as the model had long hair.

3. To hold all of the toilet roll together seeing as it is delicate, we decided not to use sellotape, seeing as it would be shiny,. Instead we dampened white dressing and this stuck, and held it well together.

4. Over the top of this layer, we put on rolls of bandage. This gave the scene a more scary look and warning, that supported our theme of horror.

5. When filming, the last feature that we added was the fake blood that we made to ensure that it fitted the theme of the girls having their teeth ripped out of their mouth.

The makeup for the other girls that are featured is also the same.
