Props/Costume

We originally wanted to use a scarf as part of the victims costume as a way of covering up any scars/bruises which we created. When we started filming and gathered more ideas, we decided that we didn't want to use this prop. Instead, we kept the victims costume minimal and we decided we wanted to show of the scars. Therefore, we decided against using a scarf.

We got inspiration of using flowers from a clip that we posted above about domestic violence. We agreed that using smashed flowers and glass and other props around the room would create a suspense feel to the opening clip. We then, however, decided against these props and we wanted to construct our film in a different way. Instead, we used our opening clip of the victim in the woods.

We used many different make up products to create bruises and scars on Gemma's face. This took us about 20 minutes to complete the overall look. Instead of just keeping the look minimal, we created these effects on her back and shoulders, as well as her face.

Here are some make up products we will use:

In order to gain the look we hoped for, we had to use many varieties of different make up to create a bruised/swollen/scar look. 

Here are some pictures of Gemma trying out some different types of bruising using make up.
To create the bruise around Gemma's eye we used dark coloured eye shadows, red lipstick, purple lipstick and eyeliner. It made the bruise look fresh and realistic by using the products.

Gemma used dark eyeshadow and eyeliner to create the black eye.

This Gemma's finished black eye. 

Katie also experimented with creating bruising on Gemma's back using brown and black eyeshadow and smudged  red lipsticks to create red rashes. 

Here, is the final look, the make up is very effective and is very defined,  we will use this make up when filming
