Band Saw Laceration – Final Assessment

For our final assessment for semester one we had to create an injury that would have been occurred within a workshop in college. For my assessment I decide to try and recreate a wound created by a band saw. Overall I am happy with my final effect although I did go over the top with the blood splatter with i now know for next time. This kind of effect could be used in film or television. Below are a few pictures of my final assessment.

70s Disco Frogs

For my second work experience myself and others in the class were asked to create make-up for 70s style frogs that were going to be in one of our colleges stage productions. My friend Katy (link to her blog here) designed a stencil which could be used on the arms of the frogs. To create the frog look we used green snazaroo face paints of the main colour and then a mixture of black and green for the marks on the arms. Overall I feel that the frogs make-up went well, however we did get rushed towards the end but we did manage to get all of the frogs done. See below for a picture of one of the finished frogs.

Colour Theory Fashion

For our final assessment of semester one we we’re given the task of creating a fashion make-up using colour theory. By using colour theory we were able to be as creative as we wanted when it came to creating a make-up look. After doing some research,see my pinterest  for a mini mood board (link here), I decided to go with complementary colour theory by using the colours purple and yellow. As part of our assessment we we’re given a chance to have professional photographs taken of our make-up as well as having the opportunity to get out of the college studio and out on location. Before I made a decision on my final make-up I experimented with different looks with the colours I wanted to use. Once I had finished experimenting I decided to go with a purple eye with a hint of yellow, a dark purple lip and gold eyebrows. Overall I am pleased with  my final look and after spending the day doing hair and make-up I feel that I would maybe like to have a career in fashion make-up or in editorial make-up. Below I will post the professional photos as soon as i get the but for now I have a few of my own.

Theater Make-up

As part of our semester 1 learning we had learn and recreate large theater make-up . When  applying theater make-up it is important to keep in mind that the make-up is being used to define the face so that the actors expressions can be “read” easily by the audience as they are most likely to be siting at a distance from the stage, meaning that the make-up can look a bit over the top and comical up close. Also another key factor to keep in mind is that theater make-up is used to alter the persons character and to also reflect the part they are playing. Below are a few photos from my theater make-up final assessment. I will hold my hands up and fully admit that i’m not a huge fan of theater make-up and can honestly say that i struggled when it came to the make up. When I first attempted the make-up I was completely fine with doing the eyes and lips but struggled using creme products to contour and highlight and felt that my fist attempt wasn’t that good so i made the decision to re-do the make again (shown in the pictures below). Having re-done the theater make-up again I was much happier with the result although I think I could have done with going a little darker with the contouring.

TV Make-up Adaptation

After completing an assessment for basic TV make-up, we then had to adapt the make up making it more suitable for evening television e.g. Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor, celebrity juice etc. For the adaptation we had the opportunity to make it more glamorous and be a bit more creative. Below are some pictures of my lovely friend Bex. Overall i am pleased with my adaptation of TV make-up, but feel that i could have do better. If i could do it again i would have probably done the eyes a bit more smokey and added false lashes also i think i would have used a brighter colour on the lips.

TV Make-up

As part of our semester 1 assessments we has to learn and recreate basic TV make-up. The make-up we had to recreate had to be suitable for day time TV e.g. news reader or TV presenter. The aim of TV Make-up  is to make the key features on the face, lips and eyes, stand out as these are the features that the eyes are drawn to. Also when doing TV make-up  it is important to warm the skin up by using as foundation that is a shade or two darker than the natural skin so that the skin does not look washed out on screen. Another key factor to consider when doing TV make-up is that as most televisions are now HD and will pick up any imperfections on the skin but also any make-up mistakes, because of this it is important to use a medium to full coverage foundation that can cover any imperfections, discolouration or blemishes on the skin but without looking like there is make-up piled onto the skin. Finally make sure that you powder as any oil on the skin show up on screen any will make the skin look shiny.  Below are some pictures of my final TV make-up assessment. Overall I am really pleased with final TV make-up and felt that my assessment went well.

Yorkshire Scare Grounds

Back in October, i had my first work experience at the Yorkshire Scare Grounds ( here are the links to their Website, Twitter and Facebook). My class mates and I got an opportunity to go down to the scare ground in Wakefield and help out with doing the make up for the zombies that would be taking part in the scare grounds scenario of a Zombie Apocalypse. To create the zombies we used Kryolan Grease Paints, Glynn McKays bruise gels, Glynn McKays Wound Filler,Glynn McKays Congealed Blood, Fake Blood and Latex. Below are a few pictures of  the zombies me and my lovely friend Bex created .

Laceration on the Hand

After practicing lacerations and mangled thumbs  in class, i decided to have a practice myself at home and created my own laceration on the hand. I created the laceration using Grimas Derma Wax, Glynn Mckay Bruise Gels (dark red) and Fake blood. Below are some pictures of the laceration i created as well as the method to recreate it.

 

Method

• Roll Derma Wax in to a large worm shape and place on the skin
• Blend both ends and the sides on to the skin ( TIP: You can use cleanser to help blend the edges)
• Using a tooth pick or a plastic scalpel cut down the centre of the wax
• Paint onto the wound by using GM dark red bruise gel
• Finally add a small amount of fake blood

Mangled Thumb

As part getting to know our special effects kit and learning basic techniques we were shown how to create a mangled thumb.  To create a mangled thumb there has to be a range of a few lacerations and cuts to multiple deep lacerations to give it  a realistic look. To create the mangled thumb we used Grimas Derma Wax, Glynn McKay bruise gel (dark red) and fake blood mine was home made or you can buy pre- made fake blood. Below are some pictures of my mangled thumb and the method on how to recreate it.

Method

• Build up the Derma Wax around the thumb (works well on bony areas of the skin use a wet wipe to help smooth the wax and also helps making it easier to work with)
• After building up enough wax use a toothpick to carve into the wax to create wounds 
• Paint onto the wound by using GM dark red bruise gel.
• To add to the effect you can also add a small amount of fake blood.

First Design Task – African Tribal

For our first design task we were given the concept of a country or culture. With this we were allowed to be a creative as we wanted with our idea. For my idea I decided to go with Africa and African Tribes. From this idea I created two mood boards one focusing on different aspects of Africa and then another one focusing on African inspired make-up. Below are some pictures of my final look on my model Katy.

For this look I kept the skin very natural with just a bit of blusher and a nude lip. For the eyes I went with colours yellow and blue as I was inspired by my pictures on my mood board. I also added black gems to the face as it is inspired by African tribal masks. To tie my final look together i added a tribal looking neck cuff and a blue scarf which I wrapped around the body. Overall I was very pleased with my final look and felt that the task went very well.
