The first look I created what that of the victim, I
am very pleased in my choice of design and how it translated onto my model. I
feel as though the burn and bruising was done to better effect in my practice
work than that of the final, but having no time to redo the look I still find
that I am happy in the result from the shoot done. The model I used was also
perfect for shooting with, she would change her expression and poses to match
the character perfectly and was a pleasure to work with. Though I know there
are areas I need to improved, I still feel I did well and used the techniques I
have learnt to the best of my abilities.
The second look although simple looking took a lot
more work than it appears, I after all had to apply foundation to all the skin
that was exposed, this being, face, neck, shoulders, arms and hands. Fortunately,
I think the effort was well worth it and it makes the red stand out well and
look more obscure and disturbing. The hair also turned out better than I
expected, though not much like my original design, though its untame appearance
despite being styled adds a great contrast of trying to break out much like the
spirit trying to break free of the mirror. The plats around the wrists of my
model really added a twist to the look and it is one of my favourite parts of
the design, as mentioned before, my model was great to work with and was more
than willing to let me restrain her with her own hair.
I have really enjoyed this project and I think
following my research, my final designs and images work very well as the two
looks for a music video based around an urban gothic legend, it being obvious
who is the victim and who is Bloody Mary, even though the make up looks involve
colours and features more common used in the opposite, the purity of white
being used to add a creepier atmosphere to Bloody Mary, and the inflictions of
asylum treated apparent on the victim helping her to look more helpless and
innocent.
