Experimenting with makeup effects (Nhung Pham)

As part of our project we learned how to use some special effects makeup to enhance the characters cuts and wounds. For this experiment we used some Ben Nye - Fresh Scab, a bruising wheel and face paint. I found that the fresh scab substance is very useful and reliable as it create a realistic wound and it is not messy or runny. The appliance for the fresh scab is remarkably simple, we first apply a black paint with a brush in the shape of the wound you want it to be then we use the fresh scab substance on top of it, molding it into the shape you desire. To make it more as though it is an old scab we can use the bruising wheel before or after the appliance of the fresh scab around the wound.

This is the how the wound looks like after applying the special effects makeup, as you can see it looks natural and realistic. Therefore we will be using these products in order to create a horrifying look for our antagonist as it is easy to apply and it would not take up a lot of our time when it comes to making our trailer.
