Male Hair design Practical

In Seema's lesson we were taught how to create male hair, exploring what makes a male style and how you can create this with either a male or female model. We were given instructions and had to create the look on our class mates. 

Instructions: 
Step 1: Set up work stations make sure everything is layer out looking professional. 

Step 2: Create a horse shoe section from the front all the way to the crown of the head and section out of the way. 

Step 3: using the remaining section of hair create a very flat and wide french pleat manipulating the hair to look very flat against the head pinning in place and hiding all pins. 

Step 4: Look at this section neatening to create clean lines texture and shape the line i.e.- side burns.

Step 5: smooth the horse shoe section create a left hand side parting and create a smooth look here you can either tuck and desquise the hair or barrel curl, finger wave, incorporate the hair in with the rest of the look.

Step 6: look the the overall style and make sure you've created a male silhouette. 

I liked my style i created on Laila her hair is very short at the bottom of her head so i had trouble pinning the remaining bits of her into the french pleat to create a good tight style with all pins being hidden. I wanted to create a level so to look as though the hair was shorter around the sides i felt it worked although needed to neaten up the edges and flatten the section a little more to create more of a male silhouette.

Evaluation Gothic Horror

I have thoroughly enjoyed this project ‘Gothic Horror’ I feel that I instantly grasped the theme and characters Claudia & Quentin and was exited by the idea that the final images were being created for motion image within a Music video.
I found that due to the short time span I began thinking about the characters designs a lot quicker than I usually would have and found looking back that I would have liked to do a lot more research on the theme looking more in depth in all gothic horror areas of  art, film and historical rather than my main concentration witch was on films and music videos and fashion. 

I was very pleased with my outcomes of both Claudia & Quentin I felt that I created my own quirks and understanding of the characters within the styling while keeping to the brief about their personality’s and situation. I feel I have shown all my paranormal research through my final designs while keeping within the 'gothic urban horror' style that appealed to the fashion audience of that of a music video rather than adding in lots of gory prosthetics.
I particularly liked my Claudia design I thoroughly enjoyed shooting this design and felt that the outcome showed my technical development through the project.
Overall learning new techniques for fashion images in hair and gothic horror techniques within makeup I feel I have pulled together all elements from class and personal research and experimentation creating two final designs that appeal to my target audience suiting the motion image context.

Claudia & Quentin + Music


Claudia & Quentin with the music i have chosen for the music video, these are the designs i have created for the gothic horror music video. Film inspiration by Paranormal Activity 1. 



Claudia Final Shoot







I loved this shoot i felt the the whole look pulled together so well and just all blended and clicked together. The styling i was very happy with in the day we experimented with a few different outfits and felt that the mesh top covayed the grungy gothic style i was after in a simple way that matched the sleekness of the hair and makeup but still conveyed that rough urban feel. (i couldn't get hold of the accessories i had initially planned to use)  
I loved the final effect of the string lashes on the bottom lash line with the wet look curls onto the face and felt that the symbolism's to the grudge and that paranormal genre of film was conveyed.  I felt that certain elements of the look such as the glossy perfect wavy hair and the glossy ombre lip are parts of the look that will relate to the music video target audience making the look relatable and appealing people will want to look like her. I was pleased that i chose a model with blonde hair and i felt that the contrast of the dark string and lip stood out more creating a glamour to the overall look. 

Below i took some more images as i was really enjoying shooting this look, we played around with different locations and poses that i had explored in my research. I love the green plant background i could imagine that in the music video Claudia would have lots of these plastic green shiny plants around her. I love the poses i feel that the look on the model face really shows a trapped atmosphere like she wants to escape and is stuck being possessed by this bad spirit of Quentin yet you still get the idea of the femme fetale woman with the sexualised gloss of the lip and wavy hair.





Quentin Final Shoot


I was really pleased with my final shoot, I felt the whole look pulled together well. Although i could only get normal black contact lenses as shown in the images above i edited the black eyes into the final images to portray the overall final look i was aiming for as i felt this was an important part of my overall design and if shooting the music video i would get these contacts. I feel that this look would work well for motion image within a music video as its a contemporary take on the gothic horror inspiration i feel that the demon elements i wanted to portray work within the styling but are not to scary that they wouldn't be relatable within a music video for my target audience (mainly teenage girls) i feel that using a male model attracts this audience and created another dimension that i enjoyed, creating male hair and makeup and feel that the overall look is exactly what i imagined. Although if i did it again i would have spent more time of the tattoo and even got in an actually tattoo artists to create the design.
