Olivia (Carmen):
Because Liv is the young female who has been captured within our
narrative we have decided to represent her as almost doll like. This has
connotations that she is being controlled, she's young and vulnerable and she
is naive to the world. Therefore, we plan for her to wear no foundation at all,
wear pink blusher and curled eyelashes. This conforms to the ideas of an old
fashioned dolls face. Her hair will be in two loose plaits hanging on both
sides of her face and will have pink ribbons, again, as if she's a doll and someone
has done her hair.
Her costume will
be a silk pink nightie, using the colour pink to continue the youthful and
vulnerable connotations. Also, she will be wearing hand cuffs on her wrists and
chains on her ankles. Because of the chains we want to make them appear to be
as realistic as possible considering she has been held for a long time now.
Therefore, we will use subtle makeup to make her skin around the handcuffs and
chain to appear red and bruised.
Joe will be made to look as pale as possible with dishevelled hair
but a perfectly kept beard. This can help to represent his mixed personality
and also the mix of emotions he feels towards Carmen (he's meant to love her as
his own but despises her as he's not his own daughter). His clothing, as chosen
by the focus group, will be black suit trousers, a pastel coloured turtle neck
jumper and a cardigan/jacket over the top. The suit is effective as the
professionalism displayed on his surface is a direct contrast of the disorder
in his brain the audience later learn of.
The majority of
the makeup we plan on using is simple and doesn't require practise as it is
basically a lack of makeup and white powder. However, the bruising and redness
around the handcuffs will have to be done with makeup.
