Make up Academy

Today we went to ... make up academy to learn some techniques on how to make our killings look realistic using make-up. We started off by telling the make up artist what killings we were going to be showing in our trailer, she then gave us advice on the different ways to create the looks of our killings. She started off by giving us a tutorial on how to create the look of someone grazing their knuckles.

Here she told us that in order for someone's hands to look as though they had been grazed severely we could us PVA glue mixed with paint of the same skin complexion (in our case brown) and paste it onto our hand, we should then let it dry and peel of specific areas to make it look as though the skin has been peeled off and then use some red paint to show the blood coming through.

all of these skills helped us with the reality of our killings so we now want to be able to put them onto our actors and so that the killings with our trailer look realistic. As Talia is a make-up Artist in our group she will be to do the special make-up effects.
