MISE EN SCENE: Make-up

Injury Make-Up
Injury Tutorial -Scar

This video is an easy step by step way to show how to create an scar which we can use in our film opening for the injury scene.
This would be suitable for the effect of the injury we are trying to create and I think we would use this, however, we would need to add fake blood to keep the injury fresh and more sudden. This would also contribute to make a more realistic scene.

If we do not purchase the fake blood from a store, then we can produce it ourselves using : Red food colouring, water and cornflour.




I also tried different techniques using make-up to create an bruise. I used different eye shadows to create the effect shown in the picture below and have discovered that a red/brown coloured lipstick provides a nice subtle sheen to the bruise, emphasising it even more.

Other Make-up
Girls Make-up : Bed Scene
  • Clear Mascara
  • Lip Balm
  • Minimal Foundation to cover blemishes (If needed)





Main Girl's Make-up : Montage Scene
  • Blusher
  • Lipstick/Gloss to draw attention to the lips
  • Black Mascara to define eyes and bring out the eye colour
  • Eye-liner (Optional)
  • Foundation (If needed)








*** Upon actually filming the death scene, we decided it would be more effective to simply use a large amount of fake blood, rather than scars or bruises etc, scattered on the pavement where the male character dies. -Tosin
