Final Hair and Makeup Choices
The most significant makeup I did for our filming was for Lucy, who was playing the first victim of the killer. Firstly, I ripped a hole in a white shirt, then I used liquid latex and started to layer it on the area I wanted the wound to be. Once the liquid latex was dry I tore pieces of tissue paper and started to layer it on top of the latex. I kept layering the tissue paper until it resembled torn/shredded skin. I used a mixture of brown, black and red face paint to darken the corners and under the edges of tissue paper and try to make some basic definition and the illusion that the wound was a deep hole in her chest. I layered and blended the paint and then put concealer on the tissue to make it look like peeling skin. I then added a lot of fake blood around the wound and all over her shirt which made it look a bit more realistic. If I were to do this again I would buy a larger amount of fake blood because I think the more there was the more realistic the wound would look. As for the hair, this wasn't very significant to our piece, Lucy had her hair down which was effective because leaves got caught in her hair and made her look like she'd struggled for her life in the woods. None of the other characters had any makeup because it wasn't going to add anything to the scenes.
