My friend Hannah has used liquid latex before so she helped us practice making a fake cut.
This is a fake cut using liquid latex, tissue paper, foundation, eyeshadow, face paint and fake blood.
Costume
Our initial design for costume depicted the main character wearing a bright red T-shirt and the rest of the extras wearing black, dark blue and dark browns, therefore making the main character stand out from the background and the other actors, whilst also
acting as a symbol for danger and violence with the colour red. This was,
however, not the case when it came to purchasing costume as we could not find
an appropriate shirt for our actor. We adapted our plan when we found a grey
tshirt with a brightly coloured design on it. The red and blue patterning on
the shirt means that the actor stands out from the backdrop and the grey is in
stark contrast with the black of the extras costumes. Grey also fits with the
Sci-Fi genre as it fits on the monochrome spectrum which makes it more
appropriate than bright, cheery colours. It is also clear that it is what a stereotypical male teenager can be seen wearing and this is what we wanted our character to represent, someone that is relateable.
For our extras we planned for them all to be clothed in dark colours
to give a sense of all the bodies blending together in the background,
especially with the dark filter we intend to put on the footage. This works
very well as it is difficult for the audience to figure out what exactly is in
the background which gives it a sense of mystery.
