For our film opening, we have planned for there to be very few props, only a baseball bat that the main character uses as a weapon, but our makeup plans are very ambitious. Over the past weeks, we have been gathering information from the likes of YouTube about how to create effective character makeup which will convey the supernatural, sci-fi feel we are hoping to create.
We were able to purchase three pairs of identical lizard-eye contact lenses; two of which will complete the look for the two infected attackers and the third for the final scene of the opening when the infected main character opens his eyes.
After multiple attempts, I was able to perfect a mixture for realistic fake blood which did not stain skin. This will enable us to create gruesome and believable wounds for all characters in the film opening, including the extras.
I first tested the blood on myself to make sure that it looked real, was washable and safe. We will use this blood mixture in our film to add to the injuries shown.
