Make-Up Reflection 1) What make-up tools did I use and how? Questions The make-up

Make-Up Reflection 1) What make-up tools did I use and how? Questions The make-up that we used consisted of fake blood, white face paint and eyeliner. We used a sponge and slightly wet it, then dabbed it softly into the face paint and applied it all over the cheek and chin. We used more than one layer of the white face paint when we were applying it to make sure we got an even coverage. After this, lines were drawn from the middle of my cheek to the corner of my mouth with the intention of them being stitches. This was drawn on using an eye pencil. We also used fake blood and applied it straight from the tube onto my face, around and on top of the drawn-on stitches. 2) What problems did you encounter when applying the make-up? ’ Whilst we were applying the make-up, we came across some difficulties. One of them was when the eye pencil was being used to draw on my face, the white face paint hadn’t dried completely therefore the lines weren’t black and bold. Also, the paint got onto the pencil tip which made it harder to use. Next time I will make sure to wait until the face paint has dried to avoid that mistake again. 3) What effect do you think your make-up will have on the audience? I think the look of stitches on the character will build up suspense for the audience as they will wonder what happened and how the stitches got there. It also creates tension as it is normally the antagonist that has a scar like that; so the audience will know they're the bad character and will want to know more about them. Blood is one of the main conventions of the horror genre so having used it will allow the audience to feel more frightened. The use of blood connotes danger and violence which leads the audience to believe something bad is going to happen in the film. The white face paint would normally suggest that the character is innocent and pure, however as there is red and black on top of the white, it might imply that they have been corrupted – now being evil. The white paint further shows the paleness of the character – implying they are lifeless, therefore they are not a human which adds to the tension as the audience will be more scared of something that they are not used to.
