Makeup Test

For our main protagonist we used natural makeup to fit the time in which we shot this trailer. Their makeup is light, appearing mostly natural. However we wanted to take a different approach for the clown by adding some to his neck to bland in with the mask and around the eyes.

Acrylic white paint was used for the clown’s neck. This means the makeup was thick, allowing good coverage and wouldn’t fade while shooting. We did try using normal pant but the colour was too light and was far too thin. Acrylic was better and was picked up by the camera more. We were also working on a time constraint so finding affordable face paint in such a small space of time prove difficult so we settled for acrylic.

The makeup in the photo above shows that the white acrylic paint covers the front of his neck down to his t-shirt line. This allows the costume and mask to blend with the makeup.

On the image below we used yellow face paint on his eyes along with some white paint and eyeliner.

During filming we found complications with the eye makeup. The mask our antagonist is wearing shadowed his eyes which stopped the camera from picking up the detail of the eye makeup. For filming we will not be using the eye makeup but for the poster we will use the makeup as we can use lighting to bring out the photoshoot.
