Making Scabs, Scars & Wounds

On November 11th an industry professional expert came into the college to show our class some of the basics,on how to produce the perfect and most realistic scab, scar or wounds for films.
He gave us a chance to experiment with the substances and equipment and below are some of the pictures, I took when testing my skills from what he had taught us.
These pictures are in step by step order, as to how Iproduced the final product, using Teniolas hand as my model.
Pre-made wounds & the making of the a slit wrist, applying Latext to set.

Deborah applying the Latext onto Teniola's hand so the pre-made wound would stick to her skin in order for it to look as realisic as possible.

Me drying the Latext and and the scab for Teniola's hand so the scab will stick firmly.

Me Applying the makeup to Teniola's hand so the make-up and foundation blends well into her skin to look as realistic as possible.

Make-up application finished, with blends of green, purple and reds.

Progress Update - 10th November 2010

At this precise moment, my group and I have already began our audience research by uploading our questionnaire onto a website (Survey Monkey), and are now waiting for more responses. So far 10 people have responded to our questionnaire. We also need to film a few more shots before we begin editing. We are also uploading more stuff onto Blogger to show our progress.

Possible Locations Shots Part 4

We looked at indoor and outdoor places which we thought would benefit our teaser trailer. The possible locations we looked at reflected the sort of settings we needed in our teaser trailer. We also thought that with lighting and the right costume and make-up, it would come out quite good on film.

 

 

The following pictures show the chapel in our college. One of our ideas was the whole good over evil theme, this also reflected the movie 'The Last Exorcism'. Which is about 'A troubled evangelical minister who agrees to let his last exorcism be filmed by a documentary crew.'
