Props and Makeup

MAKE-UP




This was only needed to be used on our protagonist, Sam, to make her seem as though she had been out the night before and was hungover.







To do this we used a red lip liner to go on the top of the eyelids, as well as on the water line; this gave a sense of tiredness as well as the occurrence of drug use, keeping to the recurring theme of drugs within the film.

We then just applied normal mascara which we smudged when wet to create a sense of it having been worn the night before, as if she had passed out or fallen asleep from being drunk when she got into her plain bed.

PROPS

Our props were mainly seen in the credit sequence within the bedroom, some of which had the names of actors and directors names written on in some way.

We put pieces of clothing on the floor which conforms to our scheme. We also threw makeup to show the carelessness of our main protagonist of her makeup, also stereo typically showing that she is a girl.

The black top in the image was made in 'InGear', Tunbridge Wells, which we all went to and help to design the prop.

This is the first prop that is seen within the opening and shows the name of the actor playing our protagonist. The choice of a guitar outline show her personality deeper and the typical "edgy" teenager.

We found a red book and yellow folder within school and asked permission from staff to use them.

Red and yellow are, once again, conforming to our colour palette and feature within the credit sequence many times, in each clip.

The two in the image on the left read the three supporting actors, Ben Bradley, Brian Bradley and Ethan Simpson.



The next props were set on top of a guitar amp. The props used were; a metal teaspoon, icing sugar made to look like cocaine and the same cigarette lighter from the previous outdoor scene for continuity.

We also created our own student card which had the words 'directed by' on which was followed by each of our names within the credits until the end.

'Lizzie Bradley' is written on the red laptop screen, next to red pants, to show age and the fact she is still in school but also growing up.

The pizza box is to represent her age again, and the laziness of the protagonist due to mainly drugs and her lifestyle. We doodled on it to show her arty, "edgy" and more personal side as it contains guitars and drugs. The box also has 'Lucy Gaston' written on it, showing the embedded credits that run through the opening.




We took a pills bottle and wrote again in handwriting, like a prescription bottle would be, the name of the final member in our group as director, just as the opening ends.

The drink next to it, half drunk, is representative again of stereotypical teenage laziness, as there are many cups around her room, obviously that she has left or not bothered to remove from her room.
