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

Emaciation makeup evaluation

  For the emaciation makeup, I like how the makeup shows the cause of emaciations (for example: for the makeup shown in the image, I chose the cause to be an eating disorder, whereas if the cause was sickness, for example, the skin would have a greenish tone.). To improve, I should try out emaciation but make the cause different to be able to understand fully what the effect would be for different causes (such as emaciation as a result of malnourishment). Another way in which I could improve would be to make sure the shaded areas look 'evened out' and add a little bit more depth to the eyes. Considering this makeup was meant for screen, it would have needed to be a bit more subtle on the cheekbones, as the makeup appears to be too obvious. I would also have had to add some shading to the neck to show how other areas of the body are affected by this disorder. Edit: 23/05/2021

One colour challenge evaluation

  Instagram one colour challenge evaluation: What I like about this look is the way I have coloured the eyebrows. Before applying the blue colour itself, I used colour corrector and concealer to lighten the eyebrows so that the blue will show up better on the hairs. I also like the contour of this look as I think it has been blended out nicely. However, I don’t like the eyeshadow as although I tried to use three different colours of blues on the eyes, they all look like just one colour. Therefore, to improve this look, I would use lighter variants of blue to make sure they stand out better. This also wouldn't work on photograph as the difference in the colour variants aren't bold enough in real life to show up on camera unless the photographs were taken up close. Edit: 26/02/2021
