Mrs Leaderman

How i see my mrs Leaderman

For her hair i wold like her to have Bantu knot. This is because it is a well known mature hair look that one can see on afro Caribbean women at home. I will also make it messy and neglected
but this might change depending on the state of my modals hair (if in braids or not)

Her face and body will be extremely duty and grassy. To achieve this i will use black and brown in my supper colour palette to make her skin dirty. I will also apple baby oil all over her body to achieve the grassy look.

Her skin will be also sweaty and mad, to achieve this i will mix up brown powder with water and applying it on the face and shoulders. I will also spry water on her skin before taking the picture.

Mrs Leaderman will have a bandage on her head and shoulders and chest. The bandages will be extremely dirty.

final look 

I rely enjoyed creating this look. as you can see i went all put.
for this look u used a lot of colour hair spry to make my modal look very filthy and also a lot of water. however one thing i would change is tell my model to wear a black plain top this will alow the sweat to come throw and to show well in the camera.

The art of Gothic horror

Witches at their incantations 1646died long before the revived fashion for all things gothic but his painting seem to have predicted the taste for the sublimeGlowering skies, gnarled trees craggy cliffs.

In this three-part series, Andrew Graham-Dixon looks back at 19th century Britain and its obsession with all things Gothic. The series explores how an inspired group of architects and artists spurned the modern age, turning to Britain’s medieval past to create some of Britain’s most iconic art works and buildings.

Inspired by the tumultuous Industrial Revolution, John Ruskin was among those who created architectural wonders, using the cutting edge of technology to create a brand-new British style of architecture. While in art and literature, the Gothic allowed Horace Walpole, Bram Stoker and Dickens to capture the terror, weirdness and social ills that plagued Victorian Britain.

Episode 1 of art of Gothic horror: 

Britain’s Midnight Hour begins in the middle of 18th century England, when an entirely surprising thing happened. Out of the age of Enlightenment and Reason a monster was born – a Gothic obsession with monsters, ghouls, ghosts and things that go bump in the night! From restrained aristocratic beginnings to pornographic excesses, this episode shows how the Gothic Revival cme to influence popular art, architecture and literature.

Episode 2

Episode two explores how, as the Industrial Revolution promised the modern world inexplicable wonders, Gothic art and literature became both backward and forward looking.

In her novel, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley warned of the dangers of how science could get out of control, while Sir Giles Gilbert Scott used Gothic architecture to memorialise Prince Albert as a medieval hero. This episode also show how poets indulged in hallucinatory drugs to reach new Gothic heights.

episode 3

In the final episode, Gothic fantasy horror is outstripped by real horror, as the truth of mechanised warfare in 1914 dawns on an innocent world.

The programme highlights how the language of Gothic would come to summarise the horrors of the 20th century – from Marx’s analysis of ‘vampiric’ capitalism, to Conrad’s dark vision of imperialism and T.S.Eliot’s vision of The Wasteland, a Gothic narrative seemed to make sense of the modern world more than any other.

Cleudia

How i visualise Claudia

Ideas
  For Claudia i visualise  her to be dirty and unkept.

Her hair will be curly and wild. to achieve this look i will curl my models hair and then back comb it to make it messy. i will also add lives and small tree branches on her hair to give it that wood like look.

For her fave i will use the dark browns and black in my makeup palette to make her look as is she has not taken a shower for a will.

I wont my model to were baggy shirts and also have a bandage on her arm.

Am going to use fake machete as a prop on the shoot because in the working dead most of the characters have one, its the way of protection.

The final look. 

Claudia and Mrs. Lederman

My characters, Claudia and MRS Lederman is based on the working dead TV series.

Plot of the series the working Dead  

 

The working dead is Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirk-man, this gritty drama portrays life in the weeks and months following a zombie apocalypse. Led by police officer Rick Grimes, his family and a group of other survivors find themselves constantly on the move in search of a safe and secure home. But the pressure each day to stay alive sends many in the group to the deepest depths of human cruelty, and Rick discovers that the overwhelming fear of the survivors can be more deadly than the zombies walking among them.

The working dead is aimed at 13 to 30 year olds but older people also watch it.  

Claudia 

My character Claudio was left alone when her parent became workers after been batten by the zombies. she was rescued by MRS Lederman as a 17 year old and they have been sleeping in the forest and moving from place to place for more than five years. 

Claudia is fascinated by zombies and this has affected her imagination.

Her boyfriend Quinton changed depending on her mood. When she is happy he is human and when she is scared he is a zombie.

MRS Lederman

She is the next door neighbour who rescued Claudia from her zombie parents. Her role is to provide food and and clothing for Claudia. In this scene they will be living in the woods.

Mrs Lederman is in her late 40s and was once married and had a child but they became workers( zombies) and she had to put them down ( kill them)

She see Claudia as her daughter that she had lost, and fills the obligation to protect and love her. However she is also depressed and suicidal.

social class in the 1800s

In the 19th central social class was very important. there were three: the upper class, the middle class(working class) and the lower class. 

The upper class 

Those included

•  the royal family
• spiritual lords 
• temporale lords 
• great officers of the states - the Knights, Baronets, country gentleman.  

The upper class were also know as the aristocrats. Those were people who were of higher power and authority in the social starters. they were usually not involved in any manual work.

The middle/working class 

Those enclosed (was divided into 2 groups the upper middle class and the lower middle class) 

Upper middle class 

• Doctors 
• Loyers
• Bankers 
• Large business owners 
• Engineers
• Judges

The lower middle class 

• Small business owner
• Civil servants 
• Shopkeepers     

Lower class 

Those included 

• Factory workers 
• Street sweeper 
• Labor
• Miners 

In the book great expectation by Charles dickens, we are introduced to the different classes. we see that pip is from a family of lower class people. 

(hat I was a common labouring-boy; that my hands were coarse; that my boots were thick; that I had fallen into a despicable habit of calling knaves Jacks; that I was much more ignorant than I had considered myself last night, and generally that I was in a low-lived bad way. (p.105)). 

its clear to me as the leader that in the 19th century different classes used to stick with there own kind. in great expectation we see this when pip's word is turned upside down when he fist meets miss havisham and realises that not everyone is like him, and there are people who were better off. he starts to compeer his life with what he has just seen and he is ashamed. we see letter on in the book this longing to become a gentleman and which is a direct results of spending time with miss Havisham and Estella. 

in the book we also see that miss havisham and  Bentley Drummle as been in the upper class.they are both very wealthy and also very abusive in there own ways. in Miss Havisham case she is more emotionally abusive (some might say she emotionally abuse Estella and pip) and in Bentley drummle is more physically abusive ( abusive towered Estella).

//Great expectation by Charles Dickens 

Married and Unmarried in 1800s

 The life for women in the early 1800s in Britain was that of many obligations and few choices.  Some even compare the conditions of women in this time to a form of slavery.  Women were completely controlled by the men in their lives. First, by their fathers, brothers and male relatives and finally by their husbands.  Their sole purpose in life is to find a husband, reproduce and then spend the rest of their lives serving him.  If a woman were to decide to remain single, she would be ridiculed and pitied by the community.
in the book Great Expectation by Charles Dickens, Miss Havisham is damped on her wedding day and as a result she decides to never live her house again. in the 1800s for a woman to not be married was seen as a shameful thing, there for Miss Havisham way of avoiding the humiliation though extreme was to hide in her house.
Also in the book great expectation we find out that Miss Havisham was a very wealthy woman, therefor if she were to get married her husband would have automatically gotten all she had.

Gothic horror.

Today in Kat's lesson, we had an introduction to Claudia, Quentin and mrs Lederman characters based on 12 TV shows. 

•The Walking Dead

•American Horror Story

•Dexter

•True Blood

•Bates Motel

•Buffy the Vampire Slayer

•Vampire Diaries

•Penny Dreadful

•In the Flesh

•Being Human

•Hemlock Grove

•Hannibal

We also discussed topics such as the target audience and why people love Gothic horror. 

Target audience 

Statistics show that the women love the Gothic horror more than men, this could be because women like the adrenaline of fear. statistic show that women that watch horror films range from 18 to 49 and for me it rages from 14 to 35. 

But why do we love Gothic horror? well in discussion today in Kat's lesson a few reasons come up. those include 

fascination of the supernatural 

facing the monster within us 

• fascination with the supernatural ( we all tend to acknowledge the supernatural when we cannot explain the wearied thing that might happen in us) 
• one might like to be scared (some people love to be scared, it is a will know fact that youth will pay money to visit a hunted house or even something less supernatural like going and a scary ride)  
• fascination with death ( most people are fascinated by death because we all know that we are heading that way) 
• hope for salvation ( the christian faith is very big on this. as we human being we all look to someone or someone to help use. in  horror films there is that hope of a survivor at the end that becomes a hero)   
• identifying the inhuman side of mankind. ( some say we all have the eval side in use, so un horror films we get to see that side more)
• facing the monster within mankind ( in most horror films we tend to see the extreme eval of man) 

the hope for salvation 

summery of how i think my Estella and Miss Havasham continuity project went.

In this week continuity sessions, i recreated both Miss Havisham and Estella. One of the things i tried to do is use picture of my first Miss Havisham and Estella look. however i think it would have been better if i printed put the pictures instead of having them on my phone, because it slowed me down when i kept having to look at my phone. If i i had printed the picture and stack them on the mirror i cud be able to view them easily.

Having notts was a life saver for me, because i was able to recreate the look using the instruction the second time.
For the Estella look, i really enjoyed creating the look. Everything from the research to the creating of the final look was very interesting to me. however one thing i should have done more of was practice the make up look more in my spire time as well as in lesson. I did more research than i did the practice.

 

   

One thing i found a little tricky to do was to recreate the mistakes made on the first Miss Havisham look ( the parting of the hair in look one).  However the use of images taken from the first look was helpful with the placement of thing.

FIRST SHOOT

SECOND SHOOT 

One of the things i did wrong in the continuity of Miss Havisham was not telling the model to keep the same clothing she were for the fist shoot and also not using the same props ( model holding flowers). This was because i misplaced/lost the prop so had to work without

When it came to hair i found it difficult to recreate the exact hair look,  because my model had extensions installed in her hair. by the time i did the second Miss Havisham continuity look.

In the future however i will make sure to print off the images and also ask my model to have the same clothing, when it comes to using props. I will make sure to keep it same and if anything went wrong with it to be able o have backup.

All in all i will say i learnt a lot in this project. I will say that there is a lot o improved to be made, but i would like and love to do this again in the future.

creating Estella

for my Estella look.

To create Estella i used a very pale foundation to make my model look pale. I also kept her make up quiet plain because in the Victorian times women did not wear mach make up because it was seen as and as a sin and only prostitute and actresses would were make up.
For my character i wonted Estella to have bruising on her body due to domestic violence.

Estella hair research and ideas

Estella as seen on t.v and films

 

my favourite version of Estella, is in 2012 great expectations. her hair in this captured the 19th century hair look very well. however there were other very common hair style that young women in that era used to were. most of them used to decorate there hair using flowers and feathers.

 
 for my Estella look i will use feathers on her hair and will also curls at the front of her hair, however unlike the picture below i will have the rest of the hair back into a low ponytail and then create 3 or 4 plats on the ponytail and pin them in place. like the next picture below.

 

Estella (domestic violence) research.

In the book Great Expectation by Charles Dickens. We read that Estella is in a abusive marriage. so for this weeks research i have been researching about abusive relationships and the physical and emotional implication it has on the victim.

There are different forms of abusive, those include physical, mentally and emotional abuse.

Physical abuse is usually visible. the victim tend to have brazes and scars from when they were attracted. Most victim who are physically abused E.G beaten up they tend to hide there bruising using make up, this could be because of shame or just trying to protect there abuser. there are also other types of physical abuse like rep. this is usually not visible.

another form of abuse is emotional one. though this is not visible it still as bad. this is more to do with words. words that kill once confidence and self esteem. this king of abuse can be phycological as well.

I can imagine that Estella went through all this, and also probably got her own back. so for my character Estella i will create few bruising that will reflect her sadness.

Creating Estela character

My Estella character from "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens (1861) is going to be in her 20s and married. In the book we read that she is marred to Bentley Drummle, who is Pip's enemy. Drummle is known to be rich but violent. His violent side does not seem to put Estella off, because we see that she still goes ahead and marries him, even after Pip begs her not to.


My Estella character is going to have bruises on her body.

my practice 

Face chart 1

This is my first face chart for Estella. In this chart you can see that she has a bruise on the side of her lip from one of the many fights she gets in with her husband.

I am not sure that this is going to be my final look for Estella but I think that I will make the bruising more discreet like a covered up one on her lip and one on her shoulder and on the side of her nose. 

Face chart 2 

On this face chart I have kept the look very plain a and simple. As you can see she has a smaller bruising on her lip and one on the side of her nose.  With this I want  the bruising to look covered up with make up but yet be visible.

For my final design an going to keep the makeup clean and simple. the face will be pale and pure with jus a hint of pink blusher to make her look youthful. However she will still have bruising on her shoulder and neck.

Since in my Estella female design she will have bruising, i have been researching ways a bruise would look like in the shoulder, and hare is a picture i found on a classic bruising 

  

google images

To create my bruise am going to use yellow, deep pink and  deep pupal. 

How to: 

I fast applied the yellow eyeshadow all over the area i wont as my bruised area. 

Over it apply pupal eyeshadow and the using the pink cover the whole area to make the bruise look as if its healing.
