Filming Day 2 - Preparations

This is arguably the most important day of filming for my group because we will be filming the most important scene of the music video. This will be the scene when the actor (me) is dragged by a gang of thugs and is beaten by them for a reason we have decided to leave ambiguous, however suggested that the reason is something to do with religion.

To film such a scene I will need to look like that I have been beaten up, luckily for my group I personally know someone who can do the make-up for me and make me look like I have been beaten up.

The picture shows the make up that will be used to make me look beaten up. Firstly wax is needed (white tub) to produce the cuts on my face and the white scalpel is used to spread out the wax to make the cut look realistic. Secondly is the box with the colours inside, this is used to make the black eye that I will have and to make the red swelling that will be around my cuts.

Lastly is the black bottle which contains the fake blood and the brushes are used to apply the fake blood to my cuts and to apply the red swelling around the cuts.

The second image is how my face is going to look after the make up has been applied. As you can see the make up is very realistic and it looks like I have been beaten up. The black eye looks very good and looks like it has been done recently.

The cuts on my face are in places where we thought I would have been punched and kicked, and the blood dripping down the cut on my nose makes it look recent. When we film there will be blood dripping out of all the cuts to make it look like it has just happened.

I think that the make up is top quality and helps us make our music video the way that we want to.
