On October 2nd Christine Blundell came in to Achland Burghley to talk to us about film make-up and what she does and how she became of renowned. The whole experience was very eye opening and gave me a good insight into how the film make-up works and how you can make the special effects but on a cheaper scale. Christine showed us that by going to a super market you can get cheap ingredients that can be made into fake blood, sweat, sick, tears, bruises, cuts and many other things. I really liked the whole experience because we also got to see the prosthetics that where used in films including the old man in a wheel barrow from 'Burke and Hare' and an amputated arm. Christine then showed us have she did some of the effects on two people which included how to make peoples skin look as though it was sunken and old.
When Christine came in she had also done some tattooing and other bruises on someone. Christine also told us about the process she goes through to do the make-up with someone and how she has to work out why the person has different marks on them and how they got them. Having Christine in has helped as it has given me an idea of what kind of things I want to put in my work and has given me ideas on the types of things I could get to substitute the professional make-up and special effects they use. She also helped with idea's of what kinds of make-up to use for different effects and where you use different effects.
