Make-up

This week I have been looking at horror film make up. I found a lot of special effects make up to create very gory and deformed villains but these are seen more in the slasher genre and as my film doesn't contain any kind of monster this doesn't really apply to me.

My idea throughout has been to make James look ill during the end scenes of the trailer to show that he is the one effected by the spirit. A few years ago I watched a film called The Possession which features a teenage girl who becomes possessed and throughout the film she did look ill and almost dead.

I've been watching a lot of video tutorials on 'halloween sick makeup' for inspiration and tips on what to get and what to use, here's one that I found particularly helpful from the YouTube channel 'MyPrettyFlesh' ....




From the tutorials that I have watched I've come up with a list of things to get...

• Red eyeliner/ eyeshadow
• Grey, black and white eyeshadows 
• Brushes

I also did a sketch of what I want James to look like....
