Portfolio Project - Special Makeup

 Overview:

As mentioned in the previous post, I mentioned issues pertaining to the project. These included the issues with scheduling and filming; however, we had made some progress in overcoming said issues. We had decided that we would delay filming until the upcoming week. That being said, we could not waste a day not doing anything. For today, we decided to practice the special effect makeup that would be used to film the crash. I personally had less of a major role on this than in the logo creation. One of the other group members handled this while I helped and took the pictures.

For this picture we had applied makeup to a willing volunteer around the head region. This was meant to represent the full look post crash. It included both cuts and bruises, which are elements expected to be shown in a crash. This had been the refined outcome after many attempts we finally gotten the result we wanted.

This photo represents the makeup we had done to practice our blood effects. To "master" this look we had done many attempts and relaized that we had to us both a red background of makeup paired with the blood splatter to make it look more realistic. 

This picture combines the experience gained from both trials to create a visual cut. We used a lot of layered makeup for the cut and then covered it with some blood to make it more realistic. This was one of the more difficult ones to create since making a cut from makeup would be a difficult task. Reflecting upon it, we might have wanted to add some more of the deep red blood from the first image in the actual cut itself to represent the open wound.
