Make up

As a group we knew that in order to make our film opening realistic and clear to the audience about the difference in character our make up had to show that the imaginary friend was dead, twisted and not right in the head. We did this by making sure Chloe's make up on her face and any other areas of skin that was on show was pale which the occasional mud mark and bruise. 

We made her look pale by using white face paint, the mud we used actual mud, this was because we didn't have enough time and money to get brown paint and the mud makes it look more real. With the bruises we had black face paint and a whole range of eye shadows. Because we wanted her eyes to look dead and dark, we put black face paint around her eyes. However, when the black face paint was around both of her eyes we thought she resembled a pander, so we started again and just made one eye have a black eye and the other to have thick dark black eyeliner, to add to the effect of the dead eyes. We also put a bruise on the side of her cheek, this looked really affective as it showed (linking to her costume) that she had been tormented and abused by the drugs Susie (played by Abbi) had been taking to make Chloe go away.
