Make-up for the Final Scene

Make-up for the Final Scene

This scene shows the audience where the missing wife and who is holding her hostage! Therefore, as this is such a tense and dramatic scene we have used bold colours. The colour red is used to connote the promiscuity of the wife, reflecting on how she cheated on her husband. The colour red also signifies danger and warns the audience about what is happening. 

We have chosen to have messy make-up for the wife to signify how she has been forcefully put in the cellar and to connote to the audience how distressed she is. The black mascara under her eyes shows that she has been crying and the messy hair suggests that she has been struggling a lot. We did put some mud on her to emphasise the fact that she has been dragged down their by her husband. As a whole, we didn't want her to look too dirty as she has only been down there for a couple of days but of course she hasn't washed!
