costume & make up
Real media texts & inspirations
hostel (torture) |
Carrie (pigs blood) |
Hostel is an inspiration to our trailer make up as it is highly violent and filled with torture. We also have an element of torture in our trailer and so taking influences from this movie is a must. We particularly like the girls eye removal scene as this creates a lot of visceral pleasure for horror fans. However, the movie is extremely graphic and so we must tone down the gore as much as possible without losing the effect.

In Carrie, we liked the large amounts of blood involved. The most effective part about this make up is that it was not Carrie's blood. We, as a group enjoyed this about the movie as it made it more gruesome. This is also easy to replicate, however, large amounts of fake blood will be needed and this will cost a lot and stain the actors skin if it is bad quality.

Evil dead (defeat) |
Don't Breathe (REBELLION) |
In the movie Evil Dead, the main character looks exhausted or defeated with dark circles and puffy eyes to show that she has been crying and through a traumatic, draining event. This look is easy to replicate and we can use in our trailer as our character goes through the same sort of events.

The use of costume and make up creates rebellion in the movie. The dark clothes and gloves show that the teenagers are robbing houses and the multiple tattoos on the main girl and her boyfriend also show this teen rebellion. The good one does not have tattoos as this would be breaking the characters stereotype.
