Quentin shoot

The quentin shoot was a disaster! first I used the wrong kind of face paint then I tried to blend powder into facepaint (school boy error) Then the latex mouth piece wasn't going right!
 When i was done with my little tantrum i took a breather then started to think logically. I used oil based face paint so if course i had to use supracolor for colouring. With the mouth piece i used latex to blend the edges out as much as possible then pray it worked out!

This my final image

The shoot went much better than expected and when i changed the contrast and brightness i finally liked my image!

Claudia Shoot

These are some of my favourite pictures from the shoot.

I think the shoot went really well. Whiles doing the make up i did change some products. Instead of using powder based products i used supracolor instead as it blends in more with the face and looks more realistic on camera. Instead of using greys i used browns to make her face look really tired and i backcombed her hair to look like she doesn't take care of herself.

~Overall i am happy with the look as it is subtle yet effective.

Quentin final charts

I Decided to go with this face chart for my final quentin look                                                                              

I wanted to completely blank out quentins mouth due to claudia wanting to keep quiet!
I searched through youtube and came across this video

I took to the idea of creating a piece from latex and toilet roll to make a smooth  mouth piece to then blank out the mouth.

Quentin hair ////

In the 60's it was a drastic change to mens hair, from sauve sleek styles to over grown mops !
seeing as quentin is a figure of Claudia's imagination he could have either.
These styles have caught my eye.

presentation

American Horror story- Asylum

I chose this tv series/season because i fits in with my original idea before the brief change.

The setting is Briarcliff Mental institute, massachusetts

So Who Watches it?

18-49 years olds watch this show due to the gripping storyline. The sexual side of things cater to both age groups as the idea of sexy in this program is old and young. what also makes this program interesting is the fact that they keep the same actors every series but give them different characters to play.

Claudia

My version of claudia fits into this series because she is a mental patient.

Claudia is a young Girl Trapped in a Asylum due to her personality disorder. Claudia has created an alter-ego/personality Quentin. She becomes Quentin when she feels angry , upset or vulnerable. Quentin often appears with an alien like face. This is because Claudia feels like an alien and like nobody understands her. He also sometimes appears with a mutilated mouth. This is because Claudia wishes he would shut up half the time as his thoughts are usually harmful or depressing. The audience will often see Claudia and 'Quentin' have arguments in the cell (Whiles Claudia looks into a mirror). Sometimes it would seem like a marital squabble or something a lot more scary and abusive. Claudia will appear on a 'Good day' (whatever that is in an asylum), Quentin appears on bad days (depressed, self harming , suicidal Claudia) Though you occasionally see them together when one personality attempts to break through.

I chose the word slipping because claudia is slowly slipping from reality, She's starting to wonder if Quentin is real or whether its a dark side she never knew she had.

The key word inspired me to investigate mental disorders, i started to look at personality disorders and watch videos of real people experiencing a personality disorder.

I now need to practise the different ways of someone looking crazy, tired , warn out and maybe ill.

My claudia Facechart

Quentin 

How does he fit into the series? He is Claudias 'other' personality 

what will i need to do to develop my character? Research personality disorders and look at sfx for the mouth.
