Make-up of characters

Make-up

David Donnell

         

 Make up: When it came to creating the profile for our killer: David Donnell, it was decided that, his height and strong build needed to be supported with a scary appearance. In doing this we got a very light coloured foundation and powder, to create an old, pale complexion, to look creepy and scary. In addition to this we also used some grey and black eye cream to create the dark bags under his eyes, to create the effect of him looking punched in the face. To finish off his scary look i used black eyeshadow, to finish it off on the top of the eyelids making his eyes more bold and noticeable, so that when it came to filming, you could see this clearly. 

Hair: When styling his hair, we wanted to make it look greasy and flat, so we used styling gel for this effect. As our murderer has a profile of a creepy person, we though this would add to the idea of being watched and the stereotype of killers you see in other movie like Stan Tucci, when he played the murderer in the lovely bones. 

And...

Laura

Make up: When it came to deciding the make up for our Victims, I wanted something casual and everyday, so we used skin matching foundation, eyebrow pencils, eyeliner and mascara. We didn't want any red or pink coloured lips, because she isn't in a romance or a object of sexual desire, but is a teenage girl everyday, who is ordinary and thats how we really want to reach and effect the audience, as a lot of young teenage girls, will just wear basic everyday make up like Kim, which helps create this element of fear for our audience to relate with. 

Hair: Straight and down, everyday hair, nothing extreme done or hair spray added, as if she was going on a night out, but if she was coming home from school or work. This is the style we were going for, just like Jennifer Lawrence in House at the end of the Street. Jen, has got the same style of hair as Kim, just down, straight and normal. This reaches our audience as she just looks ordinary. 

Finally...

Daisy

Make up: We kept Kim simple like Emily, with a natural look and no excessive makeup, as she is meant to be perceived as a fairly laid back character of who doesn't really have concerns of anyone else but herself within her life.

Hair: down and straight, however Emily has very black hair, this is normally conforming to an idea of evil or danger considering it is such a dark colour, however her hair does look very similar to Esther from Orphan. We used Emily's personality and interests into heavy metal and punk rock, to shape her character of Daisy being seen as fairly Gothic, and often these people can be dismissed as outcasts in society, and therefore we didn't place her like Carl with Laura, instead by herself. Instead this time focusing on how Evil David Donnell is by being able to kill emily when she already has a past of crime.

Overall...

All our other victims have no make up or hair changes as when it came to deciding the make up for our victims, we wanted something casual and everyday, so we used skin matching foundation, eyebrow pencils, eyeliner and mascara. We didn't want any red or pink coloured lips, because she isn't in a romance or a object of sexual desire, but is a teenage girl everyday, who is ordinary and thats how we really want to reach and effect the audience, as a lot of young teenage girls, will just wear basic everyday make up like Kim and Emily's characters of Daisy and Laura, which helps create this element of fear for our audience to relate with.
