continuity assessment (part 2)

 

Miss Havisham continuity assessment

For the second part of my continuity assessment, I had to recreate my first Miss Havisham hair and makeup design, which I created a week ago ,however the key element was to make sure that the hair and makeup was exactly the same as the first part of my continuity assessment, which can be quite difficult. Continuity is an important aspect when working in TV and film, due to filming a scene takes a lot of time sometimes even a couple of weeks therefore the makeup and hair must be exactly the same otherwise the audience will identify noticeable changes .

 

Before my second part of the continuity exam I made sure I had updated my original tutorial including any extra products or significant changes I had made. On my face chart which originally included a burn situated across the forehead which I decided not to use in my final design, I made a note that it was not included in my first assessment for the examiner to see. On my hair chart I labelled the different elements incorporated into my final design .I also printed off my images of the front and the side of the face and the back and the top of the hair to make it easier to identify where the gelatine drips are situated , how many curls are styled into the Victoria bun and where the dry shampoo can been seen prominently in the hair.
 For my second part of the continuity assessment I firstly design the hair, creating an untidy centre parting, next I section the hair into the three sections two small sections either side of the head for the sculpted ringlets and a larger section to create the bun . Next I secured the larger section into a ponytail and curled the ends using the curling tongs , analysing the photograph from my previous assessment several rolls were situated in the hair to create the Victorian style bun, therefore I sectioned the ponytail into several sections and applied hairspray to make it easier to create the bun. Once I had created the bun I analysed the photograph to see where the dry shampoo had been situated . I then secured the flowers above the bun and finally sectioned the front two sections into three and using the same process as creating the Victorian style bun I created three rolls either side of the head , the top section I secured in place until after I completed the makeup then I created two even ringlets either side of the head. 

When recreating my Miss Havisham makeup, I firstly applied a light coloured foundation from my kryolan pallet to the face, then I heated the gelatine in the microwave. Whilst the gelatine was cooling I started to make the other side of the face appear more aged by applying a brown from my camouflage pallet, and a grey and brown eye shadow to any visible lines. Next I  highlighted the wrinkles using a light colour from my camouflage pallet to make the wrinkles appear more dramatic. Using a grey from the kryolan eye shadow pallet I applied the product to the convex areas of the face to make the face appear more dull and shadowed. Using the pink from my kryolan eye shadow pallet I applied subtle colour to the cheeks. Using a white from my camouflage pallet I made the lips appear aged. I then applied a brown and grey from my eye shadow pallet around the eyes and finally applied a yellow and white to the lashes and brows to make my model appear more aged.

Once the gelatine had slightly cooled I created several drips on the face, by pointing the paintbrush downwards, analysing the image from my previous assessment I created three gelatine drops three on the forehead four on the cheek , one down the nose and above the lips and two dripping down the chin off the face. I then applied the hairdryer at a cool temperature to dry the gelatine and carried out the same process again , I then used my loose illamasqua powder to set the gelatine and applied a layer of foundation over the gelatine to make it appear more like flesh, I then mirrored the other side of the face using the same products on the aged side of the face. 

I found that printing my images off from my previous assessment made it easier to identify how the hair and makeup was styled. I felt the was styled similar to the first assessment , however the only thing I found difficult and looked different to my first design was where the dry shampoo was situated although it tried my best to make sure it was situated similar to the first design , I applied more pressure making the hair appear more white in comparison to the previous assessment.
I felt that the makeup looked similar to the first assessment in terms of the gelatine drips however, I felt the makeup was softer and the face appeared less aged in the second continuity assessment.
In the second continuity assessment, I felt that I was calm and managed my time well , I also felt I did a good job at making the hair and makeup appear the same as the first continuity assessment , however I would change the amount of dry shampoo I applied in the hair .
