Antagonist make up research

The Orphan
  • The scene in The Orphan where Esther makes advances on her adoptive father she has very bold and full make up on
  • As she is a child this does provide a disturbing image for the audience
  • I looked at this make up for our protagonist as we want quite a heavily made up look almost like her make up has been over done
  • Esther's make up in The Orphan does make her look overtly sexual however this is not what we want to represent 
  • The idea of childish make up is really what we are interested in to show that our character lacks fashion sense as she is more of a social outcast and isn't typically socially acceptable 
  • This make up is an option for our protagonist if we want to create quite a dark, striking look to show her evil nature

13 going on 30

  • Although it is a romantic comedy rather than a horror film I still thought the make up was appropriate for the look we may use for our protagonist
  • Unlike The Orphan this make up look is very bright and colourful which gives a very childish impression
  • We want our protagonist to look like she hasn't got much experience at make up suggesting she is making an effort 
  • In 13 going on 30 this is what the character does, she makes an effort for her party and her make up looks almost too much which is what we wish to put across in our trailer
  • She wears pink lipgloss, blue eyeshadow, pink blusher and slight mascara 
  • To create an inexperienced, child-like look for our protagonist I think this example helps us to understand what it would look like and what image of our character it would portray
  • This look contrasts The Orphan's as it is not as heavy and dark but I think it would greatly contrast the sadistic, psychotic attitude of our protagonist as she would look almost child-like implying innocence which contradicts her actions in the teaser trailer
