Project Evaluation

This terms 'Gothic Horror' theme has been fantastic. I have truly enjoyed each project and assessment we have done, and I really feel like I have learned so much! As I mentioned before, I had only really done beauty makeup before, so learning all the special effects techniques we learnt this term was brilliant. I also found it really interesting learning to work from a Film and TV aspect, and seeing how different it would be to working on a fashion shoot. 

Another element I especially enjoyed this term was hair. Last term was really my introduction to hair, as I'd never really worked with it before, so this term I felt a lot more confident in working with hair and creating different shapes and hairstyles! The silhouettes task was one of my favourites, as I thought the outcome was fantastic. It also got me thinking a lot more of the way the shape of the hairstyle alone can say so much about a character, before you've even seen the makeup or clothing.
I am especially proud of how my Miss Havisham hairstyle turned out, and I found it quite easy to put together the techniques we learnt this term and last term to put it together. 
Although I didn't do as well as I would have liked to on the continuity assessment, I do feel that it is something I will pay a lot more attention to in the future, and will take a lot more care with smaller details. 

There is still a lot I would like to practice and play around with, and I look forward to exploring and experimenting furthur over the summer and seeing what I can come up with!

Quentin Designs

First Design

 This was my first design for Quentin. He has been kept in a room for several days with little or no sleep, so his eyes are tired and sunken and he has some stubble coming through. I have added some black around the eyes to bring in more of a gothic element, while still remaining quite understated.

Second Design

My second Quentin design was a little more simple in terms of makeup, but is a lot more effective in portraying the character I would like to. I think I would like to keep it quite simple and make him look like he has been locked in a room for days without food or sunlight. He is purely there for Claudia's pleasure and entertainment and as a result, in her mind he is the weaker of the two. By creating dark circles and bruising around Quentins eyes, the idea of him being the submissive one is clear.
