Miss Havisham Evaluation

For My Miss Havisham Character design, there weer a number of thing that i was not happy with and i feel that i could have done better or altered in order to get a better result. Firstly, i feel that i was bit too over- ambitious with my design; the style of makeup that i opted use to portray Miss Havisham was incredibly hard to repeat exactly the same the second time, as there were so many different aspects and details involved in creating the look initially, that it made it impossible to repeat. I also think that on second evaluation, My Character design is probably not the best or even the most realistic makeup design i could have done. The whole point of this was to make it suitable to be on TV or Film; which involves as essence of authenticity and reality to the look, and i feel that mine does not, However it would be good for theatre. I feel that i could have applied the aging technique alot better and more precise than i had done also. Another factor that i would change, if i had the chance again, would be the eye makeup. I feel that the Eye makeup within this look is what is bringing the whole look down, whereas even if i got rid of the blackness, then a realistic quality to the character would still be valid. A lesson I'v learnt from this is that i can practice individual aspect of the look, and have them appear near perfect, but when you put them together for the actual overall look, it might nor work out as well as expected. In future i need to practice the whole look so that i know what to change and alter. The makeup look, doesn't necessarily appear as it does on the chart so practice is key.

Despite disliking the majority of this Makeup design, one of the aspects of the design that i am proud of is the hair. I feel that the hair designs and execution is the strongest feature within my Miss Havisham look. It turned out exactly as i had hoped and intended it to, although i did have a bit of trouble with the dry- shampoo application, but it appears unnoticeable on the end result. Another aspect that i am proud of, though it is far from faultless, would have to be the continuity. Having to get the second design to look exactly the same as the first application is impossible, considering how complex and detailed my design actually was. But i feel, looking at the pictures and comparing, i didn't do too bad of a job. The shades and tones of some of the colours might be a bit different to each other but from the overall appearance; i think i got them as close to each other as i personally could. Learning from my mistake, i need to make sure that any continuity designs i do in the future are simple and easy to create, and i keep a record of the mixtures i use, so that the colour match up.
I personally don't want to work in the TV and Film industry, but i feel that learning the importance of Continuity is a skill that may very well benefit me in the future.
