Our Costume/Make-Up Research.

This still of the Th13teen Trailer shows exactly what we would like to recreate for the first few shots of our main character. The use of a white dress to show innocence while her body shows a very different story, being battered a bruised as if she has been in a rough fight and is now scared about what has happened to her. As well as the use of a white dress we also decided to use a red dress for her in the car-chase scene. The use of the colour red on a character could signify a number of things, such as; Love, Revenge or Blood being spilled.





In our film we needed the actress playing the protagonist to appear battered and bruised. The best was to get this effect is by applying make-up to give the appearance of bruises, cuts and a black eye. Holly came across a few videos posted on YouTube which provided adequate demonstration on how to apply make-up to show bruises and such. She took these tutorials and then tried out the techniques on herself to show us. Below is a copy of said test and i think it can be agreed upon with all that look at the picture that it is really realistic and when applied to our actress will suit the story brilliantly.



Below are the two video tutorials used by Holly to produce this:
