C AND Q




When designing my Claudia and Quentin make-up designs Ive made sure to consider and create ways I can communicate my inspirational word through make-up, whatever I create in response to my inspiring word will also help create a continuous trait my characters would have throughout the series, which communicates to the audience also reminding them about that character and how, why and what happened. 

Although it is important to consider High definition broadcasting and continuity when creating make-up and hair designs for television and film, I wouldn't want my characters Claudia and Quentin to have continuous nose bleeds and bleeding shards of glass in each episode of my TV series AHS Freak Show, instead I would have it featured on my characters usually when Quentin and Claudia decide to kill together throughout the series, so that whenever the audience see blood and glass they instantly though someone has/about to be killed (symbolises death). Bonnie and Clyde are a historical reference that inspired me a lot when planning my background story and make-up and hair designs for Claudia and Quentin. 



Claudia and Quentin.

Claudia's sticky, sore and horrific nose bleeds, symbolise her intense anxiety Agoraphobia and my inspiring word Red Rave will communicate that her anxiety is too much to control and the overpowering stress, anxiety and confusion is communicated to audience every time she has a nose bleed or murders her next victim with her manipulative and evil boyfriend Quentin, although she is really killing alone as Quentin is just a fragment of her imagination. For my final assessment I will dress my model in a black and silver sparkly corset, I wanted Claudia to wear a corset as it ties in with the theme of the circus and glamorous circus performers but also because I want Claudia to show skin and be desirable to the audience.


Quentin's inspiring word is Glass Prism, I thought this word best described him being trapped inside Claudia's mind as he is only a fragment of her imagination, the make-up I plan to create for Quentin will have a mixture of plastic shards to represent glass and scars over his face and under the blood and glass shards will be scars also so they appear freshly healed. For my final character look, I will dress my model in a plain white or black t-shirt, (preferably white), Quentin was be dressed very similarly to the young male characters in the Freakshow circus and also James Dean who was an influential figure I was inspired by when planning my Quentin character.
