Pre-Production Planning - Hair and Makeup Ideas - Dilys

In our opening we have two characters and four different locations, so there are many costume and hair and makeup changes. We have chosen specific looks to help to build context and give clues to the story plot, it also helps to convey our characters backgrounds and history.

In the first shot of Chantelle, her make up is going to be quite natural with a little bit of smudged black eyeliner to make her look sad and that she can't be bothered to look after herself anymore anymore. Her hair is going to be quite messy and wind swept to show that she is tired and depressed.

When Chantelle goes up to the cliff we want to have her hair very messy and greasy to show that she is isolated and show that she has changed and become wild.
















For our first flashback to when Chantelle and Lacey are younger and happy we want them to have very natural simple make up  to convey that they are young and innocent.














Chantelle and Lacey willl also have neat hair to show they take pride in their appearnce and have the time to beautify themselves. It also helps to create a strong contrast to the other shots of them in the future.
















The flashback to when Lacey is trapped is very important so we need her makeup to be prodominant and show her pain and suffering. We are going to use dark eye shadow and smudge it round the outer corners of her eyes to show that she has been crying and that she's been tormented.
















When Lacey is trapped we will have her hair all messed up and brushed with a back comb effect to show the struggle when she was kidnapped. It will also help to create a dark mood as it shows her desperation to escape.

This is what Chantelle is wearing in the graveyard shots which is casual while Lacey is wearing this when she is trapped.

Pre-Production Planning-Story Ideas- Lisa Walden

As a group we each came up with various ideas which could be used as a possiable opening. One of the ideas that we could use would be to have the first few opening seconds set in a dark, oldened room in which a young teenage girl will be sat alone, with her facial expressions relecting how she feels-scared and distort.  


The scene will then cut to another girl, who happens to be sitting in a boat, edging closer towards the discion of taking her life. These two young girls are close friends who have fallen out over some money issues and has therefore left one of them taken captive by some men. The second girl can't bear the meer thought of the death of her friend so she decides to take her life. 

The very end of the opening sequence will be a close of shot of the empty boat, symbolising that she has jumped out-ripples of water will surround the boat, making it clear to the audience as to what has happened. 

Pre-Production Planning- Hair and Make-Up- Fatima

We have decided for the characters to have their hair down when they are in black and white because we don't want to show you their faces because we want to keep their identity a mystery but you will be able to see their faces at the end of the opening. They will be wearing quite a bit of make up and hoop earrings because we are trying to get cross that they are strong and that they don't listen to anyone.

Pre-Production Planning-Location Ideas- Lisa Walden

For another one of our Locations, we have decided to shoot in Burgess Hill Burial Ground-a large, modern grave site. This is where the first few minutes of the opening will be shot. It will show one of our female characters walking and placing flowers onto the grave, representing the loss of her dear friend. 


The shots will be taken very carefully, just short snippets of her feet as she walks forward and images of her back, keeping her identity hidden. This location is very quite, which is perfect as we aimed for her to be alone in a silent surronding-This portrays her emotions as she is left feeling alone by the death of her friend. 

Pre-production Planning- Storyboard-Lisa, Dilys and Fatima

This is the video of our storyboard-It shows all the shots and length that they are going to be. We put in a vast amount of detail into our drawings, showing the costume, settings and any props needed. Dilys did the voice over on the video, explaining all the reasons as to why we used certain shots and locations.
