Practice Preperation-before filming my group and I were trying to make our actress apppear scruffy and homeless so she could ebeleievably embody the character that we are trying to perceive in our music video.
In the shots below we are attemtping to smudge the lipstick so the actress looks cheap and tacky.
In the four shots below we applied concealer to our actresses face so that she looks pale on cmaera.
In the photograph below we applied eye make up heavily and smudged it in attempt to really make the actresses appearance to look scruufy and cheap.
Here is the final result created
Within these three
shots we were practising the bathroom scene where I am applying make up onto my
face and messing with my hair.From this we realised that we needed to make the makeup look more subtle beacuse the actress peephaps a little clown like beacsue the eye make up is overly smudged and the lipstick is too bright.
In the over head mirror shots below we are practign the bathroom scene where the actress is suppose to apply her makeup and mess up her hair inored to impress male company.
Filming in danson
park
The shots below show our actress in scruffy clothing we wanted to give the impression that the girl was homeless so these old clothes give the illusion that she is.
The 6 shots below show us ripping up a leather jacket so that we aid to the effect that the leather jacket has been worn and is old we want the audience to beleiev that she is homeless so visuallyw e have to make them believe.
We applied face paint to the actresses face because we felt it would blend in with ehr skin much better than cocnelaer would and looka s if she is naturallly pale drawn and tired.
Bleow is the fianl result we blended the face paint into her face so that on camera the actress appears naturally pale.
We heavily applied mascara and eyeleiner so we could create the pander eye effect so the audience wouyld believe that the charcetr has been crying.
This shows our
progression when preperaing the actresses costume.
We then into ripped and created holes into a pair of old tights to portray that the chgaracter has very little money and she is also wearing a cheap small
black skirt.
We also used a old
blanket so that the audience can recognise that she is homeless and sleeps rpughly on the streets we wnated to create the impression that she is all
she has to keep her for comfort warm at night.
We then added an
old rain jacket to the outfit this aided to the actresses homeless attire.
Below is a picture that shows the actress in full costume.
Filming in Niamhs Bedroom
Within this scene
we aimed to create soem contitntuiy to the actresses look as inn the previous scene however this time
more make up would be applied as she is meeting a man who is one of her customers so in this scene her look is more slutty and alluring.
Eyleiner was pplied underneath the eyelid so that we could creta a smokey and dark eyes.
The eye makeup was then smudged so that it looked poorly done and cheap.
Below is the final outcome of the dark eye makeup.
Mascara was then applied to the actresses eyelashes.
In the photograph below the actress is prepaign to get into charcter she got a piece of paper as a fan and placed it in front of her eyes in order to make them water so it would
appear that she was crying.
This is the
final outcome of the maeup application.
And this is the
final outcome under the black and white effect that we are choosing to shoot our
film in .
We insturcted our actress to make her her damp so that her hair would appear greasy we want our actress to look dirty and scruffy.
Below are images of our actress applying
bright pink lipstick this stays true to the chracter who is an porsititye so we want our actress to physically resmeble this and the bright lipstick makes her appear cheap.
Bedroom sene-the actress applied the same makeup that she re-applied in the bathroom scene in the bedroom so that there would be contitntuiy between the scenes.Becasue the charcter is supposedto go directly form the bathroom into the bedroom so she kept reapplying the makeup so that it did not fade but remained as bold as if it was the first time she put the makeup on.
Filming int the bathroom-Suicide scene:
In the four photographs below the actress is making her hair damp so that it appears asif she has been in the bath a while before she contemplates suicicde.It would be weird if she was to cooomit suicicde straight away when her hairwouldappearalittle damp and perphaps practically dry.
Below is a photogeaph that shows the finalreault of the actresses damp hair.
The following four photographs show the actress independently and with assiatnce applying heavy eye makeyp the eye make up had to appear smudy and dark beacuse in the previous scene te cahracter has been crying.She is also wearing the same shade of bright pink lipstick that was applied in the other scene so that we can create a senese of contiunity.
Below is a phtograph that shows the makeup and the hair as a final product.
The actress is wearing the same tube top that she wore in the previous scne it gives the illusion that she is not wearing clothing whuich was intened for the bedroomscne and evdiently in the bedroom scen and for this scene.
The actress hid her bra strap so that its appears thatshe is not wearing any clothing.
We then set the bath.
The following phtotgraphs show the actress gradually lowering hers;efinto the bath inorderto get used to the temrperture of the water she also gradually lowers herslef into the bath in attemptto practice her breath contol under the water.
Once we did each take of the actress going udner water we re applied her makeup so that it looks frwesh in each retake and toweldried her hair beauce in each shot her hair needs to appear damp not soaked,lookat the two photots below.
Here is a video showing how we prepared our actress' make up for the street scenes.
Our shot.
