Costume/Makeup Research

In the trailer for 'TH13TEEN' that was posted eariler in this blog, the girl is wearing a white dress and appears to be slightly battered and bruised, she is also scared and in pain. We feel that this is the perfect look for our protagonist during the early scenes, since we want her to appear scared and battered, as well as innocent. This look should be fairly easy to recreate and we have a white dress that will be perfect for the scene. We will also have the girl wearing a red dress during the car-chase scene. We feel red is best since it is the colour of romance and love, but also the colour of blood and possibly revenge. I have posted a still from the trailer below, as well as an image of a red-dress that we feel is perfect.






For our film, the GIRL will need to look battered and bruised. In order to achieve this effect will will use makeup to create a black eye, bruising and cuts and grazes. Holly found a video on YouTube demonstrating how to achieve this effect and then tried it out on herself. I have included a photo below and the result is very impressive, so I imagine that it will be even more impressive when implemented on a different person.




Below are the two video tutorials used:
