Final Evaluation

Throughout this entire project I've enjoyed not only the aspect of learning new makeup techniques and hair styles but also the thought of learning the historical side to do with them. I've realised I really enjoy blogging which is why I've chosen the option of writing for my topic next year as I think it would be extremely rewarding. The first half of the project was a big learning curve as I only really knew the Victorian era through films and books; I really enjoyed researching into Queen Victoria and found her life extremely interesting and emotional. The topic of Great Expectations was new having to learn about continuity being new to makeup anyway, continuity though will be one of those skills that will take me a while to learn as its so diverse I enjoyed myself though. The second and more resent part of the project was a true challenge as it tested not only our skills in makeup but also our imaginations. I find that for me personally I have a tonne of ideas but sometimes find it hard to express them properly through talking to even writing down. With this project I was excited from the start go being a huge face of the genre of television horror and found myself smiling at the list given having watch most of the series on there. The ideas for Claudia and Quentin I think are believable and in depth with the series I chose of True Blood; the show itself is extremely diverse and full of different roots I could of headed down. The final shoots were a lot of fun, a lot of planning had gone into my characters looks and persona's being picky on who I want to model my character as I had such a vision in my head. The makeup for each shoot was how I wanted from planning and practicing. I enjoyed location shooting but the studio images quality are more professional which I prefer. Overall this project has been really enjoyable I'm looking forward to next year.
