Makeup in Motion Evaluation

The project theme was Makeup in Motion and was all about creating makeup for HD and moving pictures for example TV programmes and films, at first I was initially worried about this unit especially with the continuity part as this isn't the area of makeup that I want to go into, I feel very restricted when working to a TV or film brief and fortunately I found a loophole in this during the second half of the unit by choosing American Horror Story Hotel where the makeup could be inspired more by fashion because of this I found this part of the project the most interesting as I could research concepts and themes that I am more interested in and create more in depth characters. 
I have learnt loads of new techniques in the technical side of this unit, I have been introduced to fullers earth and tooth enamel which would look really good in fashion work for example the fullers earth being sprayed with coloured hairsprays to create really interesting textures, I have also learnt how to colour gelatine which I also would be a good thing to experiment with by dripping it onto the skin or creating patterns in it. I think these new techniques I have learnt are very valuable and I would like to develop these further especially when creating my editorial series for digital image and editorial writing unit.
I have spent a lot of time researching different time periods for example the victorian era, 1930's and 1990's and also artists like Nan Goldin, Marilyn Minter and also different films that have some of the themes that were present in my novel and TV series. they have influenced my work by giving me a better understanding of what was happening at the time for example when designing Claudia, I looked at the 1990's and the heroin chic epidemic which influenced my design work greatly. And artists like Marilyn Minter and Nan Goldin gave me ideas on how to photograph my characters to make them more realistic.
The technique I enjoyed the most during this project was using glycerine to make the skin shiny and distressed and also using eye gloss to distress the makeup further, I feel like this is such a simple thing to do but it completely changes the feeling and mood of the character. 
I feel like the most successful part of this project is the second part, as I had a lot more creative freedom and this made me enjoy the second brief more and really focus on perfecting designs. 
The main problems that I encountered during this project was mainly how much I do not enjoy special effects makeup, because of this I really feel like my skills were not shown especially in the technical side of the unit and this at some points really got me down because my work wasn't up to par with the other students, however this has confirmed to me that this is not the area of makeup that I want to go into and has actually benefitted my work as I have focused in on defining my skills in fashion makeup, and has made me more creative in the ways that I create a character by using subtle things rather than a huge wound, although this could have been effective for one persons skillet, for mine it wouldn't. 
If I had the chance to do this project differently I think I would try to be a lot more experimental and out there with some of my designs for example in my continuity assessment, I would have designed a makeup that was more elaborate as on the assessment days I feel like my makeup faded into the background as others stood out a lot more, however I think my minimal design worked more because it was suitable for film and was easier to keep continuity. 

Brief 2 Evaluation

I am so pleased we got the second part of the brief because I feel like I identified with it a lot more, the thing that I enjoyed about it the most was not having time restraints with the timed assessment and also having the freedom to shoot the images however I liked to create a character, I found this aspect of the brief a lot more interesting to research and a lot of it came naturally to me as I was interested in all of the subjects I covered in my research. The thing that I think that I could improve on was maybe to be a little bit more creative with my set ups, I feel like I could have put a lot more effort into my Mrs. Laderman shoot to make it look more visually exciting but unfortunately I left my shoot until last minute and was unable to book a studio, so for my next assignments I need to keep an eye on my timings in order to get the image that I want.

Mrs. Laderman Shoot

SETTING...

The thought behind this shoot is meant to be a boudoir scene, Mrs. Laderman is all dolled up for her victim arriving, the second set of photos is Mrs. Laderman after she has brutally killed and devoured one of her victims...

FINAL IMAGES






FRONT IMAGE


 EVALUATION

Overall the makeup took about 2.30 minutes to complete as my model Charli has very long hair, this was mainly because I was trying to get the makeup and hair as neat as I could. I am pleased with the outcome of this though the only things I think I could improve on for the makeup is the wings of the eyeliner and the cut crease could be a lot sharper and more precise, and also the hair let me down slightly because one side dropped, as you can see from the front image above and the way I curled the hair left a visible indent, this is something that If I took a little bit more care I could have corrected. However I do think I have used my research and technical abilities to create a very suitable look for my character. I'm not so happy with the setting of my photograph, because I shot in studio I think my Mrs. Laderman lacks character and it is hard to fit her into the programme as the images I have shot of her lacks depth of character in comparison to my images of Claudia. 


Claudia Shoot

SETTING...

Claudia is in the bathroom of the hotel after having a severe psychotic episode in which she killed a female guest who Mrs. Laderman accused of trying to get too close to Quentin the second images are of a calmer Claudia after shooting up and smoking a cigarette. 


FINAL IMAGES





FRONT AND SIDE





EVALUATION

I am really happy with how the images for Claudia came out, the hair and makeup took 45 minutes and I think it looks really effective for my character, because I wasn't happy with my SFX attempts when trying to create track marks, I settled on using glycerine and water on the face and hair to make her skin look sweaty and waxxy, and I also used a little bit of blue eyeshadow on the lips to give them the look of being starved of oxygen. I think the glossy eyes look really effective because they give the appearance of being slept or lived in. The thing I think I could have improved on for these photos is maybe to have made more of an effort with the setting, if I had smeared blood down the shower screen this would have made the photograph more eerie, however I was afraid it would stain. Overall I am really pleased with this makeup and believe it makes up for the depth of character that Mrs. Laderman lacks.

Finalised Mood Boards

When going to submit my work I found that my mood boards had become pixelated, this is because I had created them on a photoshop document that was too small so I had to go through and do my mood boards again to make sure they were up to the quality that I needed them to be.

I used mostly the same images that were on the other boards that I have shown but I made sure the quality was up to scratch.
