Costume and Make up Planning

Costume:

Our opening title sequence is neo noir, which is a new version of film noir. We chose to have a neo noir genre so we could have our own unique twist on a film noir.


Due to our neo noir genre, our costume is not typical of film noir, which is typically like the picture on the left, (eg. feminine glamorous dresses, men in suits). Alternatively, all three characters (me, Cal, and Elliott) will all be wearing suits. This is similar to the film noir typical conventions. We decided to do this as in our storyline, we meet in a rundown side street casino (due to our age, we couldn't have a real casino), as I am part of the game, we decided to all wear suits, instead of the female wearing a dress.

Make up:

Here is Cal's post on make up

These are the things we used to create my fake wound and blood. Cal used the special effects wax and red colouring for my wound, while the jam was mixed with food colouring to make the would look wet, like real blood, that Elliott made. Also, Cal had the Jam on his hand. Ms Humpleby gave us the idea of using cheap red jam, as it's consistency looks on camera exactly like blood.

Before Cal put it on my face, Elliott attempted on his own hand, as shown to the left.
In this picture, we used the wax, colouring, and jam, as we did on the final recording.

Before using the special effects wax, I researched online for ways to create a fake wound with make up. Here are the links: bullet wound, bullet wound. Although we used wax for the real thing, ideas from these links helped create the final look.

The pictures below are pictures of my fake fake wound. The first picture is just the wax, Cal put into a circle, as recommended on the above links, with an indent. The second picture is with the white, red, and some colouring over the wax. The outcome is it does look like a bullet wound, but more like a scab. At which point we put the jam and food colouring mixture slightly in the indented part of the bullet wound, to make it look like a fresh, bleeding wound.

And here is the final look, just before recording:
