Makeup Update

In terms of makeup, we had previously planned to have hand cuffs on her wrists we have now decided to use rope as a prop instead. Therefore, this has changed the way the makeup will have to look on her wrists, instead of it being bruises as if they've come from metal, it will now have to look red as if it’s been irritated by the friction.

Here is my practice makeup:

First I added a layer of red eye shadow onto the arm to make the redness and harshness of the cuffs. I then added a small layer of purple to create the bruise.

I then added a small amount of green and yellow eye shadow around this to make it seem as if it was a maturing old bruise.

Although I will not be there on the day that we plan to film the female narrative, I decided to practise anyway. This is because we may have to re-film the female’s narrative when we plan to film the males, so it is useful to know how to apply the makeup anyway. I also know the bruise will be on the wrists rather than the arm but it was easier to practise the makeup on myself on my arm than my wrist. 

Also we originally planned for Joe to have a perfectly kept beard and dishevelled hair. However, after considering the codes and conventions of the thriller genre and the feedback from our focus group, we decided to change this. Instead we will now have his hair perfectly styled. This conforms to the binary opposition of the pride in his opinion and lack of pride in his actions.
