FINAL ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

Evaluation of a continuity make -up

On the 17^th of may 2013 I followed out my practical assessment of a continuity make up my given scene to create was scene 3 set inside at night time in a cook house my character was Mrs.Lovett from the production Sweeney Todd.

The continuity make up I carried out I think worked very well I stuck to my 90 minutes time spectrum which I was very please about as I didn’t think I was going to stick to it as it was a big make up.

Applying the bald cap was tricky as I didn’t apply gel onto my models hair my reason for this is the hair gel I was planning on using the only hair gel I had ,various products in the hair gel my model

had allergy’s too therefore didn’t want to use it and cause a serious allergy reaction. To get the hair out of the way to apply the bald cap sufficiently I gripped the hair away from the face using hair grips. The other problem I had with this continuity assessment was the first time I completed it I made little holes in the bald cap to pull bits of the hair through , however I couldn’t do this on the assessment day as my chosen model had very poor week quality hair and if I would have pulled it through the hair would have snapped and broken off this would have left my model very unhappy therefore I didn’t do this. throughout my assessment these where the only problems I came across therefore I was very happy. If I was to do this make up again I would have spent more time on the bald cap to make the overall presentation look neat I would also find another product to stick the hair down with which doesn’t contain a lot of common allergens that way my bald cap would look smooth and realistic. Everything went smoothly with the creation of a burn using latex and cotton wool however making it look exactly the same as my first attempt was very difficult, however I got over this and just worked with what I had to make it look the same.

bald caps

If scene 3 is the chosen scene for my assessment i am planning on fitting a bald cap which i will have made myself below i have uploaded some images of my first attempts at bald caps

 this is the first stage of my bald cap

 this is my first attempt at fitting a bald cap i am happy with this result

these images are what i will be recreating for my final assessment 

Working up to the Final assesment

For my final assesment  I have to create 3 face charts and 3 looks to fit my character mrs lovett, each look will be from a different scene in the script so i have chosen my 3 scenes,
in my assesment i will be creating the looks for scenes :

• look 1 scene 10 page 12 in this scene Mrs Lovett and Todd have just met
• look 2 scene 83 page 87 this is the scene where Mrs Lovett, Todd and Toby took a trip to the beach
• look 3 scene 114 Mrs Lovett gets murdered by todd in this scene I want to show her burning skin.

My Take on Mrs Lovett

So this is my take on what I think mrs lovett could have looked like I think this experiement went really well however I dont think I have thought about her character enough and ive not though of the fact that shes a working woman and her hair and make up wouldnt be as presice as this.

Continuity Schedule

My Chosen Character

From studying the Sweeney Todd script and watching the movie I have come to the decsion that my chosen character who I am going to focus on is Mrs Lovett.
My reason's for this is:

• She is a BRILLIANT character to look at, shes a true example of an independant woman until she meets Todd!
• She's a dark character yet still is loving and caring for Toby.
• She's a sultry character
• She plays a massive part in the film and in the script.

1940'S HAIR & MAKE-UP RESEARCH

 

LIPSTICK CURLS GLAMOUR IS WHAT THE 1940'S WAS ALL ABOUT!

1940's make up:

The 1940's was one of the most iconic looks of the past as i look back at images we can clearly define what the signiture 1940's look was.In the 1940's women were very pale they aimed for a fresh skin tone look and wore a slightly darker foundation to look a little tanned and healthy in the facial area, make up in this era was very fresh and clean, however it is seen that as they aimed for the flawless complextion women put on a fair amount of foundation and then set it with a powder to do this.
Rouge (Blusher) In the 1940's women tended to use a small amound of red lipstick which was rubbed into the cheek bone area to create a rosey cheek this was seen as a glamourous healthy look, Beetroot was also another option if they didnt own a red lippy however in the 1940's a red lippy was a must for the whole decade, Other popular colours where coral and oranges.
Brows. In the 1940's women shaped and groomed there brows they would use either charcoal, khol, or burnt cork they would also use this on there lash line to create the desired flick on the outer corner of the eyes

1940'S HAIR
 In the 1940's women wore there hair fairly short at about shoulder length and shorter they wore pin curls in there hair, the iconic victory roll and curls lots and lot of curls.
back in the 1940's they didnt possess such products which we have toay such as hair spray, setting lotions or gell sprays to hold there hair do's they made a sugar and water paste and this would set there hair style for the day.
