SFX Makeup & Costume

Misc en scene

    I researched about the elements of my film to try and create the best and most realistic looking feel to my production. 

Makeup Research 

I watched a few bruise tutorials on how to create this sfx, but I also purchased some cheap sets to help me create this set to give the most realistic show. 

When the time comes around, I am going to rewatch the video to try and develop it the best I can, I wanted to place the bruise closer to the eye, where it is in the first video, but I wanted to create a more purple undertone rather than a yellow undertone to it. The wound skin is for the scar and cuts that I can put the butterfly band-aids on.

Costume Research

This video I watched really opened my eyes to how much costume plays a role in film. When I create my character board, I was thinking of sketching outfits or researching outfits that will match my character's persona. I have limited supplies as it is more of a casual story, so the right clothes are just essential as a persons personality really shows through their clothes. You can tell how somebody acts and what their interests are on based on how they dress, do their makeup, and hair. 

Although my main character is a girl, I wanted to have her without any facial eye makeup to show the roughness of her situation. I think the clothes she wears should match this vibe because she is in the comfort of her own home, and she can relax, where she thought she was safe. I think it is easy for my to develop this, and if I were to be making the entire movie, her clothing would change. She would start with casual and cozy dressings, while develop the illness, she would than dress more like somebody who isn't welcome is constantly there. The comfy clothes go away and she wears outfits you may wear out to run errands. This shows how she never feels alone and never feels the comfort she feels in the introducition. 

This research has helped my pre-production so I can plan everything I need to when I film next weekend. I want to have everything layed out so I don't forget and have to refilm last minute. I want to create it as realistic as possible, and I think all this research can help me do that.
