mise-en-scene feedback

Teachers feedback

• interesting choice of music! seems like a cl;ash in terms of the subject matter /objective
• Music does work well in terms of pace + time lapse form
• I really like the effects in terms of B+W/old film effect BUT it perhaps does take away from seeing the impact of the makeover
• Perhaps framing/shot needed to be closer up too.
• 1.25 is a little short and last bit of makeover seems very rushed - any reason for this?
• final effect is impressive but needed to show more of this at the end!

Student Feedback

• the time lapse was a good speed
• the music could be better
• fit the music to the brief instead of the genre
• consistent filming/closer shots of makeup

Own feedback

I believe that i could've spent more time editing and taken more time to carefully choose the audio and shots to consciously have a better look at the overall transformation. I'd also like to focus on the transformation and include more after shots however i enjoyed the pace of my time lapse but it could be a bit slower.

How my mood board impacted my star persona makeover

The mood board helped me collect ideas on the 50s era and narrow it down to specific concepts and attributes to the hollywood glamour star we were aiming for. From this, i took iconic aspects of famous 50 stars such as Marilyn Monroe's famous red lip and Elizabeth Taylor's flawless looks to come up with a look that incorporated all the conventions but didn't overwhelm the makeover.

Technical improvements

I would personally film on a white background and perhaps use artificial lighting to make the filming process more consistent and perhaps zoom in when doing the makeup to get more in depth shots and close up shots of the makeup since my video had seldom shots of the actual concepts and specific parts of the makeup.And maybe include better music or a voice over to give the time lapse more of a tutorial aspect and it might have helped me hit the timing brief. 

Mise-en-scene

Mise en scene allows complete transformations from actors into their characters. By accurately incorporating all aspects of CLAMPS, an actor can be transformed from a normal person into a horror villain or a 50s starlet. Makeup is something, i do everyday but to target makeup looks to specific eras is difficult just because of the different resources at the time, same with costume since fashion has changed so much finding clothing that fits the era was extremely difficult.
