Final Assessment Part One Miss Havisham

I was very pleased with the outcome of the first part of my continuity assessment. Lottie pointed out that the flowers were in different place to my practise so for the second half of the assessment i will need to make sure their in the exact place as this time.
The padding i had used i hadn't previously practised with so found that it was slightly too big so showed through in some images this was a little distracting but as i want the images from the second assessment to look the same i will have to use the padding again.
I found looking back at the images i could have added a lot more blue tones to the face to enhance on camera although the camera did pick up on those warmer colours. I liked the effect of the soft makeup as the hair was very strong and this is what i wanted to look at more relating to the victorians ideals of beauty witch was big big hair and Lilly white skin no makeup at all so i found it was in keeping with the victorian era.
I feel confident about re creating my Miss Havisham using my step by steps and further these image to relate to within my second assessment i feel i will be able to re create this look very similarly in two weeks time.

Cut Lip, Scaring & improvisation Practical

Products;

·      Non-flexible colodian- strong alcohol smell

·      Barrier cream- Derma Shield Foam (always apply this before hand to protect the skin)

·       Don’t Use moisturiser as its greasy this under prosthetics wont stay and just slip off

·      Fixer Spray- Kryolan helps it all stay in place

·      Tuplasty- Clear gel used for old Scaring

·      Duo- lay it on dry and add another layer for peeling and shiny effect

To create something that looks as through its underneath the skin apply the colour- never in a straight line and add a flesh colour powder over the top to create the illusion as though its underneath the skin.

Creating Scared cut lips:

 Step 1: apply derma shield all over the area.

Step 2: apply the colodian making sure the model is ok to breath through there nose when applying onto the lip. Getting a scalpel press it into the skin and fold the lip around it and remove so the lip is still pressed together then hair dryer and the area making sure its not too hot for the models skin.

Step 3: when dry the skin should stick together the model will then have to be carful not to smile too much as tis will pull the skin apart. You can further then dab colour onto the area to break it up a little or adding a flesh colour powder will allow the area to blend into the skin.

Improvising with cuts and injuries:

 I decided I wanted to create a broken nose effect so I could get used to the wax previously used and build my knowledge more of the effect bruising has into the skin. I was pleased with the outcome and felt it looked very realistic in person and in the photos but I would need to apply more colour into the bruise as I used a moisturiser to create a softer colour with the bruising wheel I found after a while this was absorbed by the skin.

Reference Mood Board

I created a mood board to take into assessment with me although i have already created my design and know exact ally what elements will be used were i wanted to have a few images of real veins, broken veins and scratches so i could relate back to them to get a really realistic feel.

Final Face Chart Miss Havisham

After my practise on my partner i drew up my final face chart with the veins and colourings all in the correct place as when matching up her natural veins this will be the same on the day of the assessment and i can us this face chart as a reference to this. 

I am pleased with my final face chart taking inspirations from all areas of this topic and combining a variations of different techniques we have learnt in class to create my own visualisation of Miss Havisham through my own research mainly from visual reference points to images i feel relate to the characters characteristic my interpretation further contextualising this through my historical research of the victorian era. I see Miss Havisham as a manic but delicate decaying woman shown though my chose of a dusty blue colour pallett and transparency of the pale veiny skin. She is also very intimate and dlicate often showing people how she truly feels taking these inner feeling out through self harm such as the scratching on the neck and picking of the lips. The oily sweaty skin to me symbolises her psychological harm and waiting for something of that day she will never get back even if she dose try to halt time.

Accessorise Miss Havisham

I brought my material from a fabric shop and decided to experiment creating a high lace neck looking wedding dress as the photos will only be head shot it dose not particularly matter if it is clipped at the back as this will be covered by the veil.
With the same material i created a veil using tea bags to die the material i further cut holes and created a wore effect with the material to symbolise the passing of time, i added flowers at the top to cover the clip that i used to gather a sure the top together.

I used the tea bag technique also to die the flowers i had previously brought and used a brown paint to add depth of decay to them.
