LOCATION AND LOOK ONE.

LOCATION ONE.

Our first location was a medium sized bedroom in our house.We considered using our own shoebox rooms but there wasn't enough light so we had to request someone else's at the price of clearing up all his crap...It actually didn't take too long and we went in there and just created a sterile and blank canvas. I wanted it to be undetermined so the audience can decide as to whether its a cell, a hospital room, some sort of secure/padded room- basically sterile and unnerving places.

I suggested we use the particular room as there is plenty of windows, its always very bright and it has a metal white bed. Whilst cleaning the room we accidentally pulled the bed out in to the middle of the room and found it looked quite good.It also gave us room to maneuver around it. The carpet in the room was blue so we stretched the bed sheet (our housemate doesn't know we did this) across the bottom of the bed legs to create a white sort of pouch and scrunched old discoloured sheets on the floor to cover the vile blue. We tried putting the tv on a white table but it looked to alien so placed it on the corner of the bed frame(we removed the mattress) with a white crochet pillow.

Overall we were very pleased with our budget location and those who saw it all said "urgh" and shuddered, which seems to be the reaction we are getting when people watch our film...

LOOK ONE.

For this shot we used white body paint to wash out our models faces and cobalt grey metallic powder to hollow the cheeks and jaw. Beneath her eyes we used a pearlescent highlighter and lilac liner to brighten her under eye and eye colour. The body paint covered her eyebrows and just extra long lashes with a small feather detail were applied. The make up looked marvellous on our model, it let through enough of her natural colouration and freckles to give her a unnatural beauty. She is natural ginger, so we found quite an impressive wig actually for £15. Grace spent many nights grooming it tenderly. It was long jet black hair to chest level with a blunt cut and block fringe. Combined with the huge lashes and alabaster complexion it looked great! Our own friends don't recognise Loz in our video-they all think she's Emily Legge! We did consider asking Emily to model but thought it may be too much with her own work also.

In this scene Loz is wearing her own dress she made for the cut. It is very reminiscent of Tempests latest collection, though I think she made it first.. It is obviously creative cut with an exaggerated boob, almost fanned skirt which hangs in elegant layers and pleats, the back low and cut on the bias and is made from starched white satin.It is beautiful. Since being briefed on this project Grace and I have wanted to use it in our piece as has Loz wanted to it be featured. She was equally impressed that she fitted into it as we thought we would need a size 6 model as it is so small!! The final touches to our look was bare feet with white nails (hands and feet) with delicate fingerless gloves. The over all look was very simple and innocent but the blackness of the hair and lashes against all the bright white was dramatic and gave our model a haunted persona.
