Makeup

Makeup is an extremely important aspect to our film to create interest and to add authenticity to our character. Due to there being so much focus on our main character and her reactions to the environment around her we knew that makeup could be a way of subtly revealing part of our characters back story. Because our character has supposedly been submerged for a very long tie, discolouration of the skin was a big element of the makeup. Blue tones were added around the lips to suggest exposure to extremely low temperatures and purples were added under the eyes and around the face to give a general worn and beaten look. Subtle bruising around the neck and arms were also added to hint at her hands being tied tightly and that a rope had been pulled around her neck, ordeals that would have been experienced by victims of a witch hunt.The makeup was thoroughly blended to ensure that it was not glaring or unrealistic, we aimed for a subtle yet revealing look. To create the entire look a sleek eye shadow pallet was used. We also had a small spray bottle of water on hand to ensure Meabh's hair was kept damp.

Origin Music And Sound We plan on having an original soundtrack due to the need for it to be so specific to the film. The reason we need it to be so specific is that our soundtrack effectively is the replacement for dialogue.

To record the soundtrack we will use garage band. Due to time limitations and possible future complications that could be faced in recording we have de...

Titles Analysis

Titles Analysis  Interestingly the majority of the films I chose to previously analyse did not have opening titles. One of the films that did however was Hanna. From watching the opening to the film I have noticed the following elements.  Each title fades in and fades out of the shot that it is featured in. The selected font is white which is interesting as the background is of a similar colour.  The titles are placed in the centre of the screen. Being placed against the barren landscape this also helps them to stand out. The way in which the titles appear in shots with no music also helps them to increase the focus on them. Stranger Things In stranger things the credits take a place against a black background. Surrounding it is the edges of the full title "stranger things". Stranger Things creates mystery in the titles in a different way to Hanna. The colour scheme is much darker and sinister looking however the choice of font remains white....
