Second Face Chart Design

Second Face Chart Design -

After looking at my first design i think i have come to terms that it would be too difficult to do in an hour and a half. So i decided to do some more research into the films and reread the book again.
I then came across the film that was made in 1947 which is a take on the book. Their is a seen in the film where he changed from Dr Jekyll into Mr Hyde and looks in the mirror. I would really like to take this idea but make up a background story of how much charicter got his wounds etc. I thought this would be a good way of showing it. For this design i would like to use the idea of in a seen towards the end of the Tv or film to have Dr Jekyll transform into Mr Hyde then look in the mirror and smash the mirror to show his anger over not being able to control the transformation into Mr Hyde.

First Idea - Face Charts

First Face Chart Design...

I started by creating a mind map and putting all my design ideas and research together, I used my research on Stevenson, research into Victorian males and my research into the book and the films which have been produced from the book.
This helped my create my character for TV and Film. I wanted to make sure that I didn't go too off track because this unit is to show something realistic and something that would happen to a character in the film. It also has to be a traditional looking Victorian. 

Below is one of my first designs, the idea for this one came from when I was researching into the werewolf. The reason the book Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde reminded me of werewolf's is because of the transformation that takes part in the book and in the films. The only difference is he changes from taking a potion and just changes personality and slightly in looks but not to the extent that a werewolf goes through. 
So I wanted to take the idea of the transformation of a werewolf, where they tie themselves down to stop themselves from hurting anyone else. Thats what normally happens in werewolf books and films. 
The way I have interpreted it is by not changing my character into an animal but just using the tying down transformation, I have shown this in my design by using a rope around the neck which has been imbedded in the skin. The rope would have cut the skin from being so tight, the rope then have been tight in the skin for a few days which has made the skin then dry onto the rope as well as the blood around it.
I really like this idea because it shows something that could happen in a Tv  episode or Film. My only worry is how realistic it's going to look, and also I have an hour and half to do a full look including hair as well which worries me slightly with this design. 

What is High Definition Broadcasting?

High Definition Broardcasting- 

What it means for makeup artists- 

 

Being a makeup artist for high definition broadcasting can be an intimidating job for not just the makeup artist but the on screen talent as well. The difference between standard definition and high definition makeup, is the necessity to produce work thats to film standard. 

On HD broadcasting too much makeup can appear really obvious, can show it being cakie and fake. Cleansing, toning and moisturing is extreemly important when it comes to HD becuase the better the skin is the better the makeup is going to look. If you have preped the skin properly and the skin is looking the best it can that means you dont have to put as much makeup on your client. 

"Too much makeup can appear really obvious on HD." – John Woodbridge
A lot of people say that you need specialised cosmetics or makeup techniques for work in high definition but you dont. You just need to make sure that the work is up to film standard, airbrushing also works really well for high definition. The reason it works so well is that airbrush cosmetics are made from micronized pigments that are far less detectable on camera. One product that can cause problems when doing makeup for high definition is the setting powder, it seems invisible in person but as soon as it gets under light and camera. The non micronized powders can sometimes give the skin an ashy, dull caste on camera. You can get setting powders that are made specialy for working in high definition so it doesnt give off that look on camera.

In Depth Analyses Of My Chosen Character

In Depth Analyses Of My Chosen Character...

After doing research into my chosen character of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, I have decided that for the assessment I will be focusing on the point in the book where he is changing into Mr Hyde towards the end when he doesn't want to change into Mr Hyde but just wants everything to be back to normal in a way. I really like the idea of showing him when he's at his most angry and showing roar emotion of hate against his self more than anything. 

When he changed into Mr Hyde it reminds me of Werewolves and when they change from being human into a beast. It reminds me of this not just from the transformation but from the way that other characters have described him, using words like ape like and relating it to an animal in those days was probity the worst way to describe someones appearance. 

The only problem about doing him in transaction is that it has been done so  many times and don't want to copy anything that has been done already. So I have decided to take a part of the book and a part of the film which I have watched and reviewed. I like the part when he has changed into Mr Hyde and then he looks at himself in the mirror. In the seen I will be creating the makeup for I want to do where towards the end of the book he starts to get angry at changing as he cant control it, so I want to show a seen where he looks in the mirror and smashes it. I will show this in makeup by having a piece of mirror which has smashed and scared the skin and is sticking out of the face somehow. I will need to practice this to see if my idea will even work because we haven't attempted doing this in class. I would also like to show a classic Victorian by showing this in the hair as i'm going to attempt a hair style that looks like its from the same era which the book was wrote in. 

I will start to create some face charts to show my first ideas... 

Male Victorian Hair/Fashion

Male Victorian Hair 

After 1860, and until the end of the century, gentlemen’s hair was kept shorter, and beards and moustaches were considered very fashionable and some outrageous shapes and styles emerged. Shops and chemists sold different kinds of waxes and oils to keep moustaches in shape, some men even using wooden frames at the night to preserve the form of their moustaches. However at the end of the century many decided to use a clean shaven face and short hair. Amongst all the products used to conditioning or fix the hair, the most popular was the Macassar oil. Made with a mix of coconut oil, palm oil and oil from flowers called "ylang-ylang", advertisements promised "to strength and stimulate hair growth". Because of the popularity of this preparation housewives began to cover the arms and backs of their chairs with an "anti-macassar"  which was a cloth used to prevent soiling of the fabric.

At this time men were wearing the increasingly popular lounge suits. The jackets were often worn open to reveal a waistcoat and watch chain, and a centre crease down each leg started to become mainstream. Collars were starched stiff and worn highvwith their tips creased over to form wings. Ties were worn but in a version that looked more like a bow tie than the ties that are popular today. Hair was cut short and usually parted at the side. Heavy moustaches were common, and older men still sported beards, but some men now went clean-shaven.

There were several styles of moustaches with very descriptive names...the shaggy “walrus” style with the hair worn long and over the lip, the ‘Imperial’ favoured by European royalty at the end of the century – required men (and their barbers) to shave and brush the hair up the cheek. Then there was the “Handlebar” .This style took its name from the handlebars of bicycles, and to get that same look, men would trim and wax the moustache into shape.

Advances in technology nudged fashion towards the clean-cut look – from the 1880s men could use safety razors instead of strops and blades — but styles for facial hair also tell a story of changing ideas about men and masculinity. Being without a beard gradually became seen as a sign of a civilised, modern man.

Dirty Teeth & Dirt

Dirty Teeth & Dirt

Equipment - 

-Barrier Cream

-Watered down blood

-Tooth enamel in two different colours

-Fullers earth 

-Coloured hair/body spray

-Cotton buds

-Supra-colour

-Circuital Spirit 

-Hair Dryer 

Dirty Teeth

We started with a simple way to create dirty teeth, which looks like it rotting away and covered in nicotine. We used the tooth enamel to create this look. 

We started off by making sure our models teeth were dry before putting on the enamel, we done this by using a clean, dry cotton bud and wiping the teeth to dry them off. 

Once they were dry make sure your model keeps their mouth open and then start to put on the enamel with a cotton bud in the places where you want it. 

I used the black and the nicotine one to create this look. Once this had dried your model is able to shut their mouth.

Dirty Hands

We also got to practise with a product which was called Fullers earth and this is a powder product but when you mix it with water turns into a liquid. Once I had put the water in and mixed it I then put it on my models hand and the more you rub the product the more crumbly it gets which makes it look liked dried mug, shows a really amazing texture. 

After I got it all over the hand I then needed it to dry before adding any colour to it, I died it with a hair dryer to speed up the process. 

I then got one of the body sprays in maroon and then sprayed the hand. I then used my supra colour to dirty the nails and then knuckles slightly. 

I then used the watered down blood in a spray bottle over the back and front of the hands.

I really love the interesting texture this creates. 

Black Eye

Black Eye 

Equipment List- 

-Moisturiser

-Supra-colour 

-Small brushes 

-Bruis Wheel 

When creating the black eye I built the colour up using a bruise wheel, this included a deep red, a dark green and blue and a yellow.  

I used all of those colours to create this look, I started off using mainly my finger for the while of this look as it was easy to blend and made it look more natural in my opinion. 

I started of doing a base of very light red to create the sore look to the skin, I then added the darker colours in the creases and dark circles to make them look slightly more deep and swollen. This worked really well for this look because the darker colours show the bruises effect but the yellow makes it look very natural. 

I think next time I would maybe go in with some more yellow just to lighten it up slightly and make it look slightly more blotchy in places.
