Make-upFor one of our previous ideas for our trailer we were planning to use a lot of gore, such as crying blood and coughing up guts. We knew that makeup would play a big part in the production, which is why we research many different techniques of creating these effects. Making our shots look realistic is very important as we want it to be believable and intriguing for our audience.
Youtube played a big part in our research of makeup as it has a wide range of different ideas and techniques that others have used. We tried out a few of our favourites to see if they worked well. |
The above picture was made through a site called "Wordle"

First make-up ideaThis first make-up idea from YouTube would have been great for our bleeding eyes. This has been done by firstly using PVA glue under the eye, once dry foundation is used to blend the glue in with the skin. Next is to peel part of the glue just under the eye to make it look like skin. By using red and black face paint on your actual skin it gives the effect that your skin has been pulled right back to the flesh. The eye is then finished off with a bit of fake blood on top of the face paint and on the edges of the peeled off glue. To the right is where we originally got the idea, and below is our attempt at this design and feedback from the social networking site, Facebook.

Second MAke-up Idea
This second makeup design was also taken from YouTube, which would also be used for our bleeding eyes. Compared to the first make up idea where it uses PVA glue and many other products, this one just uses eye shadow and stage blood. At first a combination of different dark red/orange eye shadows are applied to the eye lid. After applying the eye shadow the stage effect blood is applied to the skin. Place the different lengths of blood tears directly from the corner of the eye. To the right is the original YouTube video where we got the idea from, and below is our tempt and the reactions we got along with other experiments we tried out which included a bullet hole in the head.
