Make Up

For Abbi's main character of Susie, we first of all wanted her to look normal, so we told Abbi to turn up in whatever she wanted to wear, but to make sure that her jacket had pockets in them (for the scene on the porch). 

After the bit when Susie runs to the toilet to be sick, we wanted to make sure that Abbi's makeup made it clear to the audience that she was unwell and that she had in fact been sick. To show this we put the white face paint that we had also put on Chloe, but we didn't want her to be as pale as Chloe yet, so we only put a small amount on her. We also thought that her eyes needed to be darker to show she was tired, we did this by applying a small amount of eyeliner round her eyes, this made Abbi look more ill as her eyes sank and her pale face made it clear, linking to her being sick in the previous scene that she wasn't well.

On Abbi's chin you can see something which resembled sick. We thought to make her being sick more realistic to the audience we needed to make something which on camera actually looked like sick. I came up with the idea of mix banana and oats together, I got this idea from a documentary i watched on the sixth sense, when the girl is sick over the tent and they used a similar mixture of food, this is because if it did get into Abbi's mouth it wouldn't cause her any harm. 

When applying the banana and oats (sick) onto Abbi's face, I had to make sure that I didn't put too much on, as this would make it look fake, i also needed to make sure that i got it in the right place, which I think would be where i put it, of the lower right side of her lip, where the sick would fall if someone hadn't wiped it off. I also put it in her hair, this is because when she was pretending to be sick over the toilet, her hair came over her face, and if she was really being sick, it would of also ended up in her hair as well as on her face.
