Researching makeup tutorials for the antagonist

We have researched into different tutorials which we could use for the antagonist for our trailer, our aim is to look for a very bold and memorable visual image allowing the audience to remember the antagonist through hints in our film. We look up tutorials on YouTube and picked our top two video which will use to show the one of the friends being possessed and the antagonist. From these tutorials we will be trailing them out to see whether they would be suitable for our film trailer.

This make up looks quite effective because if we used this one in the woods, it would stand out. The black eyes makes it look like a horror film as it is creepy. It is something which is achievable because face paint is relatively cheap. The eye make up looks challenging but also like it does not need to be perfect, therefore making this an easy look to achieve. Instead of using white for the clothing, we would use black to make the character hidden but also easy for the audience to see. The white will suggest pale dead look, suggesting it will be an aspect of being lifeless this would be suitable for our film as it will it being preserved in one area where the friends will go and investigate suggesting it will craete some suspense of this represenation leading to the antagnist going after them. The only part of this make up that will be slightly expensive will be the contacts as these are usually around £7 but our group will be able to split this price up to make it cheaper. This tutorial would be a good one to use for the antagonist because it will create a old vivid image for the audience to remember as the white face paint will stand out, and the contrasting of the black and white, can make our film as this may be the unique selling point of the film as this may scare the audience making them more intrigued about what to expect from the film.

This make up looks good for the part where the protagonist becomes possessed because of the white contacts and the dark eyes. This would be quite easy to achieve because of the way the make up looks messy. The use of the fake blood means that it would be affordable and again it uses white face paint and red and black eye shadow. The blood can connote self harm, unexpected, as she is being controlled by the antagonist. Along with the pale skin suggests lifeless showing the power of the antagonist and its capabilities. This means that it is basic but still looks as though we have put a lot of effort into achieving the make up look. The dark hair will stand out from the make up because of how pale the face is. If we wanted to achieve this look exactly how it looks, we may have to buy a black wig but with Halloween near, it will not be hard to find one for much money. Also this would be good tutorial as it will show a partly transition of one of the friends who get possessed, showing element which will be identifiable to show some human features so that the audience can recognise her but in some different light from changing into possessing the others.
