Makeup Video for Daisy Chain
This is the makeup video Rosy and I made of me doing Graces makeup before we filmed, we used final cut to edit it and add music etc.
Filming ‘Daisy Chain’
In the half term break Rosy and I filmed our shots for out film opening Daisy Chain. Using my sister Grace as Daisy our main character, my garden as our location we set to work filming the shots on our storyboard. We came across several problems when filming here are the obstacles we overcame:
1. The camera ran out of charge after an hour of filming, stupidly I should have checked before we even started filming but it didn’t cross my mind unfortunately. But we simply charged the battery whist having lunch.
2. We needed a rather large audience for one of our shots, and we simply didn’t have that many people to hand. We still decided to film the shot just without the audience as we thought we might be able to edit them in.
3. Another problem was our location, our original plan was to use my garden for the outside filming, and the school for the stage filming. However, we came across a rather clever idea, in my house we have a little puppet stage, therefore we filmed this puppet stage close up, and then Grace’s face and if we edit it well we can make it look like she is in the stage.
Things that went right were:
1. The makeup and costume of our main character.
2. The weather for the outdoor location in the garden.
3. We managed to get all the filming done in one day.
4. We got all the shots we needed and extras, also filming each shot three times.
Practice Make up on our actor
My sister Grace is going to play Daisy in our film opening. I decided that I would do some practice makeup on her, but I wanted to keep it subtle because the character is shy so her makeup should be natural looking. Here is a photograph of her:
As you can see I have put her in minimalist clothes. She is wearing a grey skirt and top, a cardigan, black socks and green shoes. I think this looks good for a shy character as the patent colours keep the look subtle.
I have also used a shot from our storyboard and taken a photo of it in real person just to see if it was achievable, here it is:
I also experimented with making tears and I just used water and dripped it onto my sisters eye corner, here are some photographs of the effect:
I also experimented with shots from the storyboard taking stills of what it might look like, here are a couple of the face which we were planning on doing:
