Make Up

Make Up

The make up of the lead character was supposed to represent her everyday, usual make up. There was no need for blood on the lead for the first half of the media project.

Some make up we needed was to show blood on the hand of the killer, we revealed the killer to look at the lead from inside the house to make it more creepy,  after some thought and discussion we decided that red pain mixed with several others would be the best way to achieve our ‘fake’ blood without looking to ridiculous.

Make Up was also needed on the leads brothers neck, this was to indicate that he had been killed by a knife going into the neck, this was also revealed before the lead discovers it herself so it was essential for it to be obvious to the viewer but not to the lead until it was necessary.

At first we toyed with the idea of a head injury but when this did look convincing enough, we then decided to go with a neck wound which is much more easier to hide from our lead but to still make it obvious to the audience when the camera chose to.
