On Friday we set up the school Photography studio to create a dull and run down bedroom for our main protagonist. To create this specifically old and run down mise-en-scene we used many props such as; antique mirrors, speakers, drugs cabnet/box, camp bed, cushion, make-up, dark clothing with accessories for the hair such as clips and necklaces, and we also used make up to give the illusion of bruises and grazes.
To start with, Lucy put dark make up around my eyes to suggest sleepless nights and tiredness rather than being hurt. As the filming and narrative progressed she added more make-up to the face and body to capture bruises. For this, the main products we used were plum coloured mascara for clotted blood, green, brown and cream eye shadow for bruising and tired eyes and eye liner for cuts on arms, which looked very affective as even when i looked in the mirror i scared myself at how realistic the bruising looked.
I believe the group was pleased with the quality of mine and Emily's acting and we were delighted with the amount of work we got done, especially the fighting scenes which looked realistic on camera. I think the hardest part of the day was the few shots of Emily lip sinking and making the fight scenes look realistic as it was hard to feel really upset and hurt when your having such a laugh filming but I still thought our day of filming was a success and i really enjoyed acting in the video. We will be filming again next week to finish scenes off and tweek parts of the film as well as adding in shots of Lucy playing the guitar if we feel we don't have enough footage already.
