Midsummer Night's Dream meeting two

 Midsummer Night's Dream meeting two:

24/11/20

Started - 13:00

Ended - 16:00

Those who attended:

  • Charlotte

  • Francesca 

  • Abi 

  • Stephen

  • Kassie

  • Hannah

  • Isabelle

  • Leah

  • Eleanor

  • Emily 

During this meeting, we discussed moodboards and designs. 

We talked about the clown's makeup / designs and how the fairies might look - each fairy’s look is

linked into their names (e.g: peaseblossom is seen as having flowers and pink contour).

Francesca described her design for Robin.

Hannah had a good design for Cobweb - grey and dark with cobwebs on the eye(s).

Leah described her ideas for Mustardseed - discussed how the eyes would look (yellow colours and a

mustard seed as eyeshadow etc).

Abi likes the idea of earthly colours for Moth, Stephen likes natural colours.

Eleanor described the look of the queen fairy - pinks, greens and purples with some gold (‘royal’

colours).

Hannah had a design for Thesis and described how she pictured him.

Abi described Hermia - long, black, braided hair, dark skin, strong jaw.

Francesca described Demetrius - similar to how Leah saw Lysander to be.

Eleanor described Egeus.

Discussed potential quick changes - wedding at the end - Bottom into a donkey.

Talked about the makeup  - try soft and strong contours. Fairies matching colour to their names (e.g:

Cobweb having greys and dark colours).

During this meeting, we also talked about how this makeup will be for stage rather than screen,

meaning that the makeup will need to be a lot more bold and noticeable when the actors are on the

stage underneath the stage lights. Following up from this, we also discussed the size of the audience

and stage, deciding that there will be a medium sized stage and audience.

After this meeting, we began trying out our design ideas for each of the fairies on each other. I had

practiced two different design ideas that I had in mind.

To make sure that we were all working safely, we had a clean, organized and spacious area for each of

us to work at, everyone who was practicing the makeup on their model wore a mask and a visor.

Since these makeups would have been for a medium sized stage and audience, I made sure to make the colours dark enough to be seen.

Once we had finished applying the makeup, we put away all of the products and brushed that were out

and cleaned our areas.

    Make sure that you use buzz words like communication and organisation, explain what else you did during the session as well! You then went onto create some makeup and helped each other with designs/connectivity.

Pantomime Dame makeup evaluation

  For the pantomime dame makeup, I like the outcome of the eye makeup, the orange especially, because I like how it has been blended from dark to light. I also like the eyeliner both on the eyelid and below the eye, including the white, as it enhances the eye shape and size. However, I need to improve on being able to cover up my eyebrows and raising the drawn on ones further up my forehead as they were too far down. I also need to darken the contouring on the cheeks and the jaw. I also think I should darken the outline of the lips too as it isn’t as visible as it should be. This makeup would be suitable for a small and medium sized stage and audience as it can be seen from far enough away. The colours could also work underneath certain stage lights as they wont be blended together. edit: 23/05/2021

LSOH meeting 12:

  LSOH meeting 12: 19/05/2021 The day before the production. To start off this meeting, we began by checking through the production folder together to make sure we had everything we needed in there, including face charts, makeup designs, actors headshots and skin consultation sheets. It was important we had all of this in there as it was important we knew what makeup we were doing, how we would be applying it to the actors face and which products we needed to check for and organise. This showed good organisation skills as we were checking beforehand to make sure we had everything ready for the production nights. We then took some time to work in the LRC to polish up our blogs for a little while and add in anything we may have missed; this could include: adding in any missing images and any information on what we had discussed/decided on during previous meetings. It is important to keep track of all of this as it helps us keep track of what we have all worked on throughout the produ...
