TECHNICAL FILE SIGN OFF SHEET...

EVALUATION...

Evaluation:      

My expectation of what this term would involve was definitely very different to what happened throughout it. It was really interesting learning the different stages and processes of how to create a prosthetic piece and apply bald caps plus many other techniques.  However I thought we may have touched on or included a little more gore or more extreme versions of special effects such as out of the ordinary character creations. I think it will really benefit me in the future to know how the prosthetic pieces are made and the time, effort and patience it takes to produce one but I would have loved to maybe colour the mould or create an overall crazy look including it but I do understand that it has be presented simply and basic in order for it to be marked purely on production and application. The  tribal scarification influenced image was definitely a struggle for me! Excluding the confusion at the beginning when I completely misunderstood the brief, from then onwards has been quite hard to find inspiration in order to create a new idea for my re-shoot.  I planned and trialled my re-shoot before shooting the professional images but I really didn't like how they turned out on camera. The application looked really poor so I decided to do a third shoot. I was much happier with the images but still worry that you can't see the tribal influence within in.  I wanted my final image to differ from others because a lot of my peers re-shoot idea were quite similar, adding circular shapes to the face in particular directions.  My prosthetic mould however was not the easiest thing to create or apply. I liked the shape I created but also worried that the edges in my final shoot were not blended or removed as much as I hoped. However the more acetone I used to remove them the more the piece stood out on the head which would be very visible on camera. Overall the unit wasn't as enjoyable as expected but I have taken a lot of new techniques and knowledge away from it that will definitely help me in the future.  

MY SECOND TRIBAL INSPIRED RE-SHOOT - UNEDITED IMAGES...

Third shoot of my tribal inspired look:

I have found it quite difficult trying to come up with a new re-shoot idea. There is not much inspiration other than looking at the Tribal scarification we were taught and the reasons behind it. There are many other imprints and more contemporary versions of scarification but after misunderstanding the first shoot I didn't want to push to many boundaries. After seeing a lot of the re-shoot being created and photographed in the studio I noticed a lot of the girls just created a ball shaped piece and stuck multiple over the face in lines or shapes. I really didn't want my design to replicate that so I hope my tribal interpretation is correct and effective. 

My second attempt of the re-shoot was on my model Amy Newman. I practised the look beforehand but It really didn't look good on camera. After coming home and looking at the picture I really didn't want to submit a look I felt didn't show my best capabilities of application and creation. So I went back into the studio today and decided the that my third shoot would involve fullers earth as I was browsing through my technical file and felt this product was really effective. However after arriving in the studio I was told that we have to supply our own products for final looks as they don't have the budget to fund every student's inspired look. I completely understand this but was worried I wouldn't be able to make the same texture however with some pointers from Sue I was able to create a paste looking mixture by using baby powder, my foundation palette and a small drop of water. The mixture hardened very past so it had to be a very quick application.

Products used:

Face:

Liquid Latex

Baby Powder

Foundation palette

Water

Mixing bowl

Cheap brushes

Kit brushes

Gems

Hair:

Water Spray

Comb

I first applied a more watery version of the mixture all over the face and blended in like a normal foundation base, primer was added to the face first. This created a more thick, lumpy base that would be my first layer. I then glued on two gems in a diagonal direction above each eyebrow using liquid latex. I left this to dry until clear then added more of the mixture on top to create a thicker layer. I made the mixture a little thicker for this part by adding less water and more powder this had to be applied very quick as it dried to create a mud effect which would peel and drop off the face from any facial movement. Thankfully my model was very still and patient! I also went over the eyelids and under the eyes with a little foundation on my finger tip to ensure I covered the parts that were to fragile and sensitive to hold the thick mixture. I purposely tried not to mask the face with the mixture and instead left gaps and wholes so the a more effective texture was seen. I like the contrast of colours that are seen like the white baby powder, some foundation pigment plus the brush stroke effect I used create an almost lined, chalky, cracked effect. I also wet the hair with water spray and brush it back but my models hair is quite short so I French plaited the back of it ensuring it was in one tight structure. 

I purposely excluded the ears from the design as I thought the thick mixture I was using would photograph strangely and I wanted to produce an effect that looked as if it had been throw face on kind of like a mask. 

After reading through some of my earlier blog posts I noticed how similar my design was to this image by Mario Gerth. I really liked the image when I first came across it and it obviously was quite an inspirational piece as my second shoot has quite a similar approach. I love the fact that the make-up has not been put perfectly onto the skin and covered every bit visible to the eye. Instead it looks as if it has been thrown on or sparsely wiped. I wanted a similar effect for my own image.

None of these photo's are edited as I think they looked more effective raw.

FINAL APPLICATION OF MOULD PROSTHETIC PIECE - UNEDITED IMAGES...

Final shoot of my prosthetic mould:

After a long process of creating and trailing our moulds this is my final application. I definitely have a different outlook on prosthetics now than I did at the begging of this term! The process of making a mould piece takes a lot of time, patience and effort. All elements I knew would be involved but not at the height I discovered. The process is really interesting and quite clever, many would think, even myself that a piece like this would only take a couple of hours including application. However it takes a lot of practice and patience!  It involves so many different steps and if one is not done to it best or even correctly by measurements then the fault or mistake will be very visually clear on the outcome.

Compared to my piece trialled in my last blog post this piece was much more successful. I used lighter fluid- Naphtha to blend away the excess surrounding my piece after filling the mould again. This results in a much thinner layer surrounding the shape making it much easier to blend away the edges using Acetone as the edges are much thinner. I still wasn't completely happy with my final piece as whatever method I seemed to use my piece would always end up much thicker than other people even after using the advised lighter fluid products. However I was quite happy with my shape as I was able to add a little lighter and darker coloured nude tones to bring out the shape and create a more 3D effect on the forehead. The edges were still quite hard to blend away as I didn't want to take it all the way up to the shape as that would result in it standing out from the forehead and not looking apart of it.  So I kept some of the edges but unfortunately some of it was visible once I coloured it as the foundation just sat on top of it.

Had to consider Phoebe's sensitive skin when applying pros-aide and acetone to the face. Quicker application prevented burning and redness.
