Missing finger evaluation

 

For the missing finger design, I like how the blood drip down the finger and the blood in the

wound itself adds more depth and realism to the wound. I also like how the wax lines up well

with my finger.


However, to improve this design, I should’ve used a darker colour of foundation to cover up the

edges of the wax and blend it into the skin better as it shows up to be much lighter in comparison

to the rest of my hand.


This would only be used for stage by wrapping the finger first, and then applying the wax,

foundation, colour and blood. Whereas,

for film and TV, a green screen wrap would be placed around the finger and a prosthetic would

be created over the wrap where the finger will be removed, then CGI would be used to erase it.

    Good explanation of foundations, why may this be? Explore it to show contextualisation and knowledge throughout. As well as exploring deeper about formulas and materials used. What is this for? Stage or Screen? How do you know this?
    Explain it like you are teaching someone the theory behind techniques. There is nothing wrong with over explaining

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...
