Looks on the night !

Live model.

Below you can see some images that were took on the night, I had my model dressed in the space cadet outfit I had purchased, however when I was speaking to my model about the day and the running order of everything I mentioned to her that I would need her to bring a pair of boots that she feels comfortable in due to the length of time she would be standing, on the day of showcase she informed me that she hadn't brought the boots therefore she had to wear the socks and plimsolls she came in, I was really disappointed in this because it made the outfit look weird and especially because I spent so much money on the outfit. I decided to not let that effect the night as it had been so many weeks worth of stress.

As I was applying the prosthetic piece I had a few problems , one was due to the colouring of the prosthetic piece as I decided to buy a premade prosthetic piece rather than make my own, I decided to do this as I didn't want to risk making a prosthetic piece of this kind and it not turn out well as I have not been taught nor do I really know how to make a piece like this. The prosthetic piece came with some latex around to help blend it into the skin however it was coloured lighter than my models skin tone therefore I had to spend a majority of my time trying to match it up however this was much more difficult than expected and in the images you can see that it isn't the correct skin tone.I had to come to terms that I would be able to get the exact tone simply because the prosthetic piece came coloured. 

Another issue I had when applying the prosthetic piece was that due to the skin conditions that my model has that was oily therefore the latex was being eaten away by the oil on her skin this led the application to become very uneven and not blended properly, knowing that I couldn't present my model like that I decided to change my look slightly, I decided to apply some scab blood around the seas if my appliance to hid the parts of the latex that was being eaten away, i decided to use scab blood as it is a much thicker and stickier substance than normal blood therefore it will stick better onto the skin and appliance, it would also last longer . By doing this I managed to hide the edges however I didn't like how it looked. I accompanied my prosthetic piece with silver eyeshadow which I feel look beautiful contrasted with my models skin tone and I teamed that up with a bright pink lipstick in order to match the outfit.

If I was to do this look again I would focus more on apply the prosthetic as well as colouring it and also the lips as I was in a rush to do the lipstick and liner due to being at the venue all day setting up and then when I was back at the venue with my model it was a rush helping everyone get ready as well as my model. So if I were ever to do showcase again I would put my own work first.

My birthday concept

My birthday concept was my favourite photo out of the two, I feel like the colours stood out very well especially in the venue as it was quite dark which then made my image stand out, I feel like my image drawed people in which is exactly why I decided to go out of my comfort zone and try something new.

"Change" Concept

My change concept I personally feel was my weakest, I loved my concept however the image didn't portray that, the photographer I used edited the images too much therefore the neck special effects which was meant to be the main focus was blurred therefore detail was lost. However my look was backed up by an amazing article that I found that I hope people read and was enlightened on. Have a look here for my full evaluation on this look as well as links of my planning.

This concept was shown in the same room where our change concept was, it was played on a loop which is exactly the type of style we were going for, seeing this concept playing was really bittersweet as we created this months before the showcase module started so to see if being played finally at our end of year showcase was really sentimental and it seemed like all our guests really enjoyed it as well. You can see my planning for this concept here

Evaluation of my change shoot

After being let down a number of 5 times by models I final got to do my change shoot,  see my previous blog posts about this concept here and here .

I had previously planned to do my shoot outside, near the river irwell however on the day I managed to shoot this look the weather was terrible so I had to shoot indoors , after speaking to the photographer about what I wanted and what he thought would look good we decided to go for natural lighting so that he would then be able to edit the images to make them look brighter etc.

Overall I wasn't really happy with the make up application, I imagined something much different in my head so I feel like I had hyped it up too much which is why I feel so disappointed, the fishnet tights didn't really work as well as I hoped, maybe I removed them too fast therefore it didn't work.Also due to models letting me down I ended up having to shoot on my flatmate and she was uncomfortable wearing the shell bra I had got so I had to alter my look to just a head and shoulders shot which I feel really let me down.

If I was to redo the shoot I would definitely apply some make up to the eyelids, I was planning to however on the day I decided to make it a natural mermaid look therefore the whole focus would be on the neck.

I have included some of the final images both the original and edited .

Finalising my live concept theme

As my chosen era for this concept is "futuristic" I have decided to create my look based on cyborgs , as technology is growing at a rapid rate and scientists are becoming more able to create things that appear in sci-fi films I feel like this is a thing that could actually appear in the future. My take on this will hopefully show that in the future I feel that people won't be able to tell who is a human and who is a robot due to the advances in technology , my inspiration started by reading this article here 

I have previously done a post based on my initial ideas, you can see that Here. 

I have created a moodboard which I will include below. 

The definition of a cyborg according to dictionary.com is " a person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent upon a mechanical or electronic device."(Dictionary.com, 2017)

Moodboard for live concept.Bibliography below.

For my look I have decided that I will be using prosthetic pieces in my look in order to create the illusion that the fake skin has been removed therefore exposing the mechanics. One of the main reasons why I have decided to use prosthetic pieces is as on the day of showcase I want it to run as smoothly and time will be of the essence so by using prosthetic pieces I am saving myself time.

From my research I came up with an idea that I am thinking about doing for my concept, I found a pre made prosthetic piece that I feel suits my concept ideally! You can click here to see the piece I found. 

Image Nine.Design chart one including the prosthetic piece.(Pape,2017)

After completing my design chart I can help but feel although my look is very basic as it relays on the prosthetic piece as the make up would just be very natural, although I can justify my reasons for having a natural make up with my prosthetic piece application I can't help but feel that as this course is based on make up that I should include some more make up into my look, however with this prosthetic piece I feel that including some make up to the other half of the face could make it look unbalanced therefore I am thinking of changing my look.

After doing some research I managed to find another prosthetic piece that I feel that would suit my look and would also allow me to do make up application, you can see the prosthetic piece I will be purchasing here .

My final birthday shoot!

Today was my shoot for my birthday concept!

you can see my planning for this shoot by following My planning for the shoot

I was really enthusiastic about this shoot however I was weary on the finish of the final look as I had concern that the triangle would be completely straight therefore I spent the lead up to this shoot practicing and imaging how to get it perfectly straight obviously with the natural curves of the face , the way I came up with was to apply surgical tape to the face in order to achieve the straight lines .

The night before the shoot my model cancelled on me so I was frantically was trying to find a new model, thankfully I managed to get one however I didn't have the chance to properly speak to my model so on the day I didn't know what to expect.

When my model arrived I cleansed her face while talking through my ideas and inspiration , while I was cleansing her face I was looking for any contra-indications or anything that might of needed me to change or alter my look.

One issue I was faced with was when I was plaiting the hair as my model had extensions therefore I couldn't do the hair design that I planned to do, therefore I had to adapt the hairstyle, thankfully prior to the shoot I had a back up hair design so I was prepared for this issue. you can see my planning for the hair part of my look by following Hair planning for birthday shoot

Overall I am happy with my final images however one thing I was really struggling with throughout the shoot was the symmetry of the triangle due to the natural curves of the face. So if I were to ever redo this look this is something I would spend on the most, however I feel that due to the contours of the face the make up looks like it is 3D therefore coming from under her skin which I really like.I have attached a few of the final images below so have a look at let me know what you think!

Finalising my change shoot!

After my initial moodboard about my change shoot ( which you can see Here ) this blog post will all be about finalising ideas for this shoot .

My look will represent how animals are being unnecessary harmed as a result of pollution,my idea for this look is to create a fantasy make up with simple special effects make up, I will be creating a mermaid who has been physically affected by the pollution therefore giving the viewers a shock factor as they see a human being injured in the way that these poor animals are.

Image One .Dark blue's and purples with a hint of pink mermaid make up with adornments to the face and body. (www.glamour.com, n.d.)

Image Two. Zombie mermaid/ this is exactly what I am going for on the neck however I will be including a plastic ring which you see on packs of beer/bottles. (www.popsugar.co.uk, 2016)

Image one and two are my key inspiration for my look as I love different aspects of each  make up. On image One I absolutely love the colouring that is used especially the metallic as this makes the make up to appear to have a wet look that you would expect a mermaid to have , another aspect of this make up I love is the use of adornments to the face and body, this is something that I will totally take into consideration when I am planning my look. The styling of the hair is another factor I like as it has a beachy vibe which again relates back to the fact that she is meant to be a mermaid therefore she would have natural wavy hair due to being in the water.

Image Two is an example of what special effect work I am planning to do on my model however I will be including a plastic ring such as the ones that you can see in my moodboard which I have posted the link above, this is the main feature of my look so I will be ensuring that the main focus will be drawn to this. I love the pose that the model is doing as well as the added blood on her hand as when you are bleeding it is natural for you to touch it, another thing I will be adding to my image is that I will be putting my model in a shell bra and then I will be placing fishing net all over her making it look like she has also been trapped in the netting just like we saw the animals in the blog before this.

Once I had this rough idea I started to create design charts for this look, I have posted them below for you to see!

Image Three.Design chart one.(Pape,2017).

Image one is the first design chart I created for this look, I took all the inspiration I had from the images above and also from my research on the pollution and the effects of sealife. After creating this design chart I decided that I will create another design chart trying out fishnet tights to see how that looks, I will also be including the slit throat in the second design chart.

Image Four.Design chart Two.(Pape,2017)

On this design chart I tried using fishnets to create the scales, I also included the starfish adornment that I will be applying,I really liked the effect that the fishnets created especially when compared to the hand drawn scales I created in image three.

Image Five.My hair design and special effects design plan.(Pape,2017)

My hair design is going to be very natural and simple, I will be curling the hair in order to give it a beachy vibe exactly what you would expect from a mermaid, I will also be including a starfish into the hair design to flow with the one I will be applying to the face.For the special effect work on the neck it will be a simple yet effective piece, I will apply the plastic rings with wax and then I will apply the fake blood around the area, once this is done I will then place the netting over the top of my model.

When I purchased the starfish they arrived white so I decided that I would paint them orange in order to add some extra colour to my look as well as to make them look as real as possible, I have included some pictures of that process below.

Marketing imagery

So here is my planning for my marketing shoot that will be taking place on the 23rd March in my PPD lesson, this look is all based around what should be included in my portfolio that isn't already. this is a really good opportunity as we had did peer assessment of six images of our work that we thought represents us and the type of industry we want to go into when we have graduated. So as a result of my peer assessment I was able to see that my portfolio needed more male models and a range of different skin tones, this made it clear what I should be advertising for when looking for models.

When it came to what type of make up I should do I spoke to Tai to see what she thought I should include in my portfolio, this really helped as I never really knew what I should be including for a special effects portfolio and I feel like I have too many images of zombie and gory make up in my portfolio so by speaking to Tai she was able to give me some brilliant ideas that I should consider putting into my portfolio especially before my interview for my third year as I feel this will help me secure my place. 

One idea Tai had that I absolutely loved was to create a three stage ageing make up which would be suitable for tv & film as in my portfolio I have an image that I created when I was in college which was a theatrical ageing make up so by including an ageing make up that is suitable for TV & film this will show a different range of skills that is needed as with theatrical make up you apply the make up heavier and you define the lines as it is needed to be seen from afar rather than Tv and film where it needs to be subtle and will be seen close up, especially for HD tv as you would have to think about the products used and ensure that you can't see any seams if you are applying any prosthetics. 

Tai then mentioned that I should create a character in order to make the process easier, I decided to make my character a male who is in his 20's and is in university therefore he likes going out and partying however as time goes on he starts to depend highly on alcohol until he is fully dependent on it, the three stages I will be creating will be :

• Photograph One ( 20 year old ) - make up with dark circles ( due to the late night drinking) and some fine lines 
• Photograph Two ( late 20's/ early 30's ) - The start of redness due to the start of alcoholism and heavier lines start to appear 
• Photograph Three ( late 30's / 40's ) - Broken capillaries and the redness and heavier lines. 

To make this make up as realistic as possible I began my research of alcoholism and its effects, I found the following : 

• Jaundice could start to develop -  the yellowing of the skin and eyes (Body, 2014) 
• Dehydrated skin - this will be a factor throughout my look as dehydration makes the skin dull , alcohol makes the production of the hormone vasopressin slow down, this hormone helps you absorb water therefore this is the key factor in skin becoming dehydrated. (DEL RUSSO, 2016)
• Spider veins ( Varicose veins ) - Alcohol is a vasodilator which means it opens up your blood vessels, if your vessels over- dilate they can burst which then leads to permanent spider veins.Rosacea is also common due the same reason.(DEL RUSSO, 2016).
• Under eye bags - This isn't just a result of late night drinking but also it can be a result of the salt and sugar you usually see in drinks, the salt in drinks is linked to bloating and under eye bags.(DEL RUSSO, 2016)

Designcharts

Image Two. This is my second design chart, here you can see the start of rosacea, along with eye bags and the heavier definition of lines.( Pape,2017)

Image Three. This is my third design chart for my third photograph, here the lines have become heavier due the lack of elasticity, the rosacea has become worse and spider veins have started to appear.(Pape,2017) 

Product List.

• Ben Nye wrinkle stipple to create the wrinkles/fine lines.
• Red creme( mehron bruise wheel) to create the redness of the skin
• Carbon by MAC eyeshadow to create the bags under the eyes 
• Illamsaqua skin base matched to my models skin tone 
• Dark blue creme ( mehron bruise wheel) to create the spider lines
• Yellow creme ( mehron bruise wheel) placed in the waterline to create a yellow tone in the eyes.

"Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it causes you to pee more," says NYC-based dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD. "But it also hinders the production of the hormone vasopressin. That hormone helps you reabsorb water. So alcohol is kind of a double whammy, in that it's forcing out water and making it harder for your body to rehydrate itself."

"What's more is that alcohol acts as a vasodilator, meaning it opens up the blood vessels — which explains why you get a flush when you've had a few too many. If your vessels over-dilate, they can burst, leading to permanent spider veins on your face." "But the worst side effect really hits home for those who suffer from rosacea: "A majority of rosacea patients say that alcohol is the number-one trigger of their rosacea," Dr. Bowe says."

WEEK #6!

So today we focused all on our website, my website is still in the process of being made however I have made a good start to it. We got all our websites up and then we all swapped so we could get peer assessed.

My feedback.

• Emma had my website and she sent me my feedback via facebook, this is what she had to say about my website;
• Portfolio includes a good variety of videos and images including males, females - widen variety will different ethnicities and skin tones.
•  Get in touch is easy to navigate. 
• Links work - Facebook, Instagram etc.

I feel like my website will be a long process as I am not happy with how it is now so getting this feedback was very beneficial as it made me realise that it isn't as bad as I think and it does include everything it need to. 

After we had finished up with our website , we started to plan for our practical session for a look that we could use for online marketing.I started to think about what I should do however I made sure to take into consideration my feedback about my six images from last week.The piece of feedback I want to focus one is about the lack of male models and different skintones. 

As I want to go into special effect make up I will definitely be focusing on special effect work especially as I have an interview coming up for my top up year so this is a great opportunity to include another image into my portfolio. I started to then think about what type of special effect work I was going to do as I already have zombie make ups in my portfolio, I have also included theatrical work such as ageing. I spoke to Tai for some help as I didn't know what else I should be including into my portfolio and she mentioned to me the idea of creating a TV ageing make up with a model going through three different stages of her life. Tai then also mentioned about how I should create a storyline behind my character, I absolutely loved this idea and I will definetly will be gathering some research as I feel very comfortable doing theatrical ageing but TV ageing is very different.
