Filming: Mise- en-scene

This blog was completed by Mariella Ralph as part of team black hats discussion on the miss-en-scene int the opening.

Carrie (played by Lisa Eady)
This was the make up i produced on our character 'Carrie'. I used face paint to consume a pale colour to her skin but not too pale to make it look like she was quite clearly covered with white face paint. To prevent her from having a single tone on her face I added some other colours to make her make up look more realistic to our audience. I used black to blend in some shadow on her cheeks, nose, forehead and chin so she was able to display a slimming affect along with a daunting approach. I also added some blue to blend out some paint that didn't seem to look alright. I based our character's make up on my experiments which are shown through miss-en-scene. I made some slight alterations as Lisa who was playing our character had eye make up on so i managed to smudge that around her eyes to add effect. I didn't place any blood on her face as it would be irrelevant considering she didn't do anything which caused her to bleed. 

Her costume was victorian like we aspired for. She wore a white shirt with a black dress over the top of it. To add an old effect so our character looked like she was dead, I added talcum powder to her clothes, hair and face to give her that final touch. 

Matthew (played by Aaron Castagnette)

Aaron didn't need any make up added on to him as he was acting as a typical teenage boy. He wasn't attacked so there was no need for blood or bruises to be added on to him as it would have been irrelevant. Aaron's costume involved him in wearing a plain black t-shirt with some comfortable football shorts as that would be expected of most boys to wear to bed. Aaron used his iPhone as a prop instead of the Samsung we originally had planned, this was because the original prop we had planned was unavailable to use so we had to improvise with another phone.
