Final Evaluation

Overall I have really enjoyed this project. I found the book of Great Expectations enjoyable and really enjoyed the opportunity to put my own spin on the characters. I loved that we got to learn such a variety of special effect techniques during this project and I enjoyed using these techniques when recreating the Great Expectations characters. I had no option but to have a young model to portray Miss Havisham, I would have preferred someone middle aged as then I could of done a more TV and Film appropriate look, but as my model was young I had to use some theatrical ageing to get my desired effect. I didn't want to go all out and apply heavy wrinkles, so I used a colour only slightly darker and only added wrinkles in the most obvious of places. I am happy with the way this turned out as it definitely aged my models face but not to the point where the look is overly heavy and dramatic. Before creating the look I looked into Miss Havisham's lifestyle and the toll it would have on her appearance. I took this into account when creating my character. I wanted Estella to have very fresh, pretty, Victorian make up, which was opposed by the ugly bruise on her eye. I took time looking into different bruises and working out if I wanted Estella's to be old or new and practising bruising to perfect the tones I wanted to use. I knew that I wanted Estella's hair to be a main focus in the look as late Victorian hairstyles were far more elaborate and pretty. I was happy with how the hair turned out as I found the style hard when practising. It does need polishing but I am pleased I managed to create the correct structure. With both shoots I made sure to practice before hand, giving extra focus on any SFX I had to create to make sure I was confident in the looks I was creating. In our second project on contemporary Gothic Horror, I have loved getting the opportunity to create my own characters for a TV show and the amount of flexibility we had to use our imaginations and artistic licence. I am a fan of the Gothic Horror genre so it was great to learn more about a topic I already loved, and pick from TV Series's I enjoy to introduce my character in. I had already watched AHS, True Blood and the Vampire Diaries, so I knew I wanted to introduce my characters to a show I already loved and understood as it would be easier to imagine how they would fit into the plots. True Blood was the one I had watched most recently and I love the dark, southern themes running through it with links to religion and prejudice, so felt it was perfect to introduce my characters into. I loved continuing to learn about special effects I could use to make my work more original and creative, and researching some techniques out of class. I found some of the techniques challenging at first but have practised a lot more in my own time this project to gain confidence. I made the decision to use the same model for both characters, as I wanted Quentin to be a reflection of Claudia as he is a figment of her imagination, and also for him to have a more feminine look about him as he is so emasculated. I wanted my characters to be original, but still recognisable as True Blood characters, which is why I chose to use the word 'mine' which has a lot of meaning within the show, and I chose to add a blood tear to Claudia's look. I think my favourite thing about this project has to be how flexible the brief has been, I find it easier to think of creative ideas and complete my own research when there is more room for imagination and creativity.

Quentin Shoot




These are the final images for my Quentin shoot. I wanted Quentin's look to be very simple, letting his scars take the main focus. My model for Quentin was female, I chose to use the same model for both Claudia and Quentin as because he is imaginary, ultimately Quentin is a reflection of Claudia herself. I started by applying a base, and contouring the face to make it appear more square jawed and masculine. I filled in my models brows with a colour darker than her hair as after examining pictures of men, I noticed that it is very common for their brows to be darker than their hair. I also changed the shape of my models brows so they were straighter and fuller. I used a purpley supra colour to create dark shadows under the eyes as Quentin would most likely be tired from all the abuse from Claudia. As Claudia uses Quentin to feed on, I wanted to display this through the Vampire bites on his neck. I created two dots on Quentins neck, using a dark shade to make them appear deep, and from there I dripped fake blood so it ran down his neck. The most time consuming part of the look was creating Quentin's many pieces of scarification, created by Claudia. I applied these after the main base, but also covered them with a layer of foundation to mute down the colour to a natural looking scar shade. My idea for human Quentin was that he is quite a quiet, artsy type, so I chose to brush my models hair back into a scraggly ponytail, and had her wearing a white collarless shirt.

I was pleased with how this look went, although there are some things I would change. The colour I used for the scars was slightly darker than in my practices, and I think a slightly paler colour could of helped achieve a more natural effect. I made the decision to leave Quentin without any facial hair, as I didn't want this to interfere with his scars or limit the space I had to create them, but I feel that adding a moustache would of helped create a more masculine look for him.

Claudia Shoot*








These are the final images for Claudia. I chose to go with a very Gothic glam look for her, which in keeps with Brigette Ellis's make up on the show. I have gone for a dark purple smokey eye with dramatic liner and vampy purple lips. A concern I had with this make up look was making it clear that Claudia was a vampire. The Vampires on the show clearly have something extra about them, but unless their fangs are out its not in your face. I added extra redness around the eyes and tearduct, and didnt bronze the skin.  I did use some fake fangs in my look, as I love how fierce the Vampires on True Blood look with their fangs out. I was unsure wether to add the tear of blood to my look, so first I created it without. I ended up really liking the tear, I think it adds something extra to my design that makes it clear which show the character belongs in, and shows Claudia's upset for hurting Quentin. I loosely curled and then backcombed my models hair to create an almost 80's rocker look. For Claudia's clothes, I went for a netted bralette and leather jacket and shorts combination. This is similar to the way the True Blood Vampires dress, as it is seductively Gothic, but still adds sex appeal to the show.

Overall I was pleased with the way this look went, if I was to do it again I would make some minor changes such as purchasing a red eyeliner pencil, as then I could add more redness to the eyes safely, and also telling my model in advance to not tan her skin prior to the shoot, as this made it difficult for me to achieve the skin tone I wanted without painting the entire body.

Claudia and Quentin Fashion Development


These are the clothing items I can see my Claudia character wearing. I want her character to have the Gothic edge with textures such as lace and leather, but still add sex appeal to the show. I wanted Claudia's outfit to be all black, so the purple tones in her make up take the focus and stand out. I didn't want her to be too unclothed, so I will cover a small lace bralette with a open leather jacket to make the look more subtle but still effective. 



These were my clothing ideas for Quentin. I see him as having quite a laid back, arty, casual style with neutral and earth tones (linking to his humanity) and simple pieces. I like this collarless shirt as it is classic and simple but the lack of a collar stops it from looking smart. I am considering adding a waistcoat for quentin to add more masculinity to the look, but I'm not sure if it gives off a smarter vibe than what I'm going for. I also like the idea of quentin being quite feminine as he is so controlled and emasculated by Claudia.
