After a little searching I've successfully found models for both my Claudia and Quentin characters, I was initially quite worried about my models as I wanted my characters to have specific features such as eye colour, hair colour, build etc. I found both models through different contacts and they are available for both of my shoots.
Claudia - Holly Britnell
Features - Blue eyes, Pale skin, Dark Brown Hair
Skin Type - Dry to combination
Quentin - Mark Francis
Features - Green Eyes, Olive/pale skin, Blonde Hair
Skin Type - Dry to Combination
Models and Planning.
Claudia;(Red Rave)
For my character Claudia I would like my model to have preferably dark or chocolate brown hair, pale or olive tone skin with no specific eye colour. I want Claudia to appear demure and dangerous in my chosen Tv series, so that the audience are fearful and intrigued by her. In her final make-up look I have included a nose bleed which Claudia will experience every time her anxiety disorder ;agoraphobia is trigged and also when she murders her next victim in a craze.
Claudia's hair;
I plan to curl Holly's hair with large curlers and then style the hair into loose/imperfect curls/waves that can be worn in any parting. I recently practiced this on my Katie head which went successfully, also since I have worked on Hollys hair before I have a good idea of how to style her hair which is quite thick, long and straight so I plan to curl and hold the curls with bobby pins making sure the hair is prepped before applying my make-up design and then finish styling the hair afterwards.
Quentin;(Glass Prism)
For my character Quentin I would like my model to have blonde hair, tan/pale skin, blue or green eyes and a lean/broad build. When visualising the character Quentin and combining my inspiring word, I wanted Quentin to appear evil and charming throughout my chosen tv series so that the audience are first drawn to him and his good looks but soon recognise and fear his evil actions and personality. In my make-up design for Quentin I have chosen to have shards of glass and thick/liquid blood to be dripping down his face and out of his wounds, this is to symbolise not only my inspiring word but also the unescapable world Quentin lives in which is Claudia's imagination, every time Claudia fears he will disappear shards of glass pierce through his skin trapping him.
Quentin's Hair.
I want to keep Quentin's hairstyle very simple and sleek as the make-up look is going to stand out the most when thinking of him as a character in Freak show. I will style the hair so that it sits in the direction of the back of the head and then finish the hair with glossy finishing spray for a subtle shine. I will use straighteners hair spray, gloss spray, a comb, brush and holding clips.
As my storyline connects both Quentin and Claudia I wanted both characters to have similar make-up designs which make them appear attractive but disturbing. My storyline has been loosely influenced by the historic killing couple Bonnie and Clyde and I feel they will appear as a couple and 'connected' in my final images.
I have considered poses and the setting of which I will capture my final images of Claudia and Quentin's make-up and have decided to use a simple black or white back drop (possibly mixed between two characters) and I would like the characters to pose with arrogance, anger, confidence and charm as if they are almost taking mug shots.
