Costume and Make up
This page is the preparation taken for the costume and make up for our trailer 032. it includes character profiles of each character which informs you of their age, what they will be wearing and who will be playing that part. It also includes the real media influences along with make up tutorials used to create the looks.
Character profiles:
We do not know how old Mrs Tressex and the demons age. this is because the demon takes mrs tressex's age and illness meaning Mrs tRESSEX STAYS YOUNG. Because Mrs tressex is old she will dress in a victorian sort of outfit meaning long skirts, shirts and a blazer. The demon will also wear a shirt but will be tattered and old.
Jordan is a 17 year old student she is young and is a hipster. She wears flannel shirts and converses with skinny jeans. she is very fashionable.
Inspirations:
My antagonists make up and costume was inspired by Jennet Humfrye who is the woman in black. i like the look of the Victorian woman as the portrait is suppose to be very old as it was created in the Victorian era. So the costume for the demon is going to be a black shirt buttoned to the top a bit like the woman in black in the clip above.
|
Another inspiration for my antagonist is the mother from the devil inside. I like the battered look which the teacher will have because she is consistently worrying about the demon taking her soul.
|
the joker influences my demon make up as i want it to have a scar that is well known and makes it stand out.
|
Another influence for my antagonist is mr boogie from Sinster i like the way his face looks dead and rotting along with his mouth being sewed up.
|
Dorian Gray's portrait is another major influence as the demon is also within a photo. So i have to make the demon look like a painting but also dead and decrypted.
|
Make up tutorials I used:
we also wanted to add a scar to the demon which is going to show the difference between the demon and Mrs Tressex so i liked the idea of the Chelsea smile.
|
I used this make up tutorial as a a inspiration as i do want the demon to look dead and frightening.

My first attempt at the demon: These images are the first attempt at the demons make up it was rough, quick and looked unrealistic. At first i wanted to do just the make-up but without the scar but it looked boring and i had to make the demon look very different compared to Mrs Tressex.
The different stages of how to do the Demons make up (click on the images): This was my second attempt i made around the eyes a lot darker compared to the first one because it made the look more haunted.
The final Demon make up
the final demon make-up i again made the eyes a lot darker but as the lips to create this dead look. i also moved the scar to the cheek as when i did near the lip it was time consuming, difficult as the putty wouldn't stick but it as look unrealistic. where as placing the scar on the cheek looks better as it is more realistic and it stayed on.
Mrs Tressex make up tutorial:
The Mrs tressex make-up had to make the actress look older than she was. to create this old look i made used dark eye shadow to create wrinkles. i think the make-up made her look older however i used to much dark eye shadow and it made her look more like she had escape a fire.
