RECCE and Make-Up Trials

2. RECCE: The Kitchen
Originally in our music video we were going to
show the last the downfall of the main character
of the narrative in a kitchen like the song
illustrates. This is one of the kitchens that we
are considering using. However the space of the
kitchen makes it unlikely as it is too small to fit
in lights, cameras and the rest of the crew and
have room to move around and act out the scene
effectively. It is unlikely that will use this kitchen
mainly as the size of it is an health and safety
risk. The size of the kitchen would also limit the
number of angles we would be able to shoot.
In the song, the gas of the
stove gets blown out by
the air coming through the
window. As the window is
the opposite side of the
cooker, would be hard
to show this and it is at too
of an awkward position to
get too and film.

3. RECCE: The Shower
In the music video there is going to be a
shower scene where the main character
attempts to wash off what she has done
in order for her to continue feeding her
habit. This is the shower we are thinking
of using as it is very open which will
make it easier for us to film from different
angles if necessary. However the style of
the shower seems too fancy for status of
our character and doesn't keep in tone
with the tone and theme of the music
video which explores hard times and
being stripped bare of emotion and soul.

4. RECCE: Bedroom 1
This is the kind of
bedroom we want to
use for the student
character, Tamara
who is a witness to
the attack.
There is also enough It has a typical girl student

in her personality.

5. RECCE: Streets in Harrow
The station is in the
perfect walking
distance from the
street and the alley
way which makes it
convenient for us to
shoot here.
This is the alley way we used
This is the street we in which Tamara witnesses

6. Make-Up Trials For Main Actress
The baggy clothes could be used to
make her look thinner which adds
emphasis to her condition of being a
heroin addict. The make-up from afar
comes across as just looking pale
which is the case with most addicts
until you look close up.
Here I used a very white foundation
to make her look pale and colourless.
I blackened the eyes and made them

which I drew on with a eye shadows which help to make
purple and red eye liner them look sunken. Foundation and

more then one to help common denominators of real heroin

her newly found heroin research.
drug addiction.

7. Chosen Make-Up For Artist
The make-up I decided to do for the
artist was natural colours like browns
with subtle hints of gold on the eyes
to draw attention for them.
Because of the role the artist is
playing of guardian angel the colour
choice seems appropriate.
The eyebrows have been coloured
in,along with the use of false
eyelashes, to highlight the eyes and
help them to look really enhanced on
camera. The make-up also reflected
well against the light that was used
during shooting.
Gold luminous powder was used on
the cheeks to make them glow
against the rest of her face which
also helps them to stand out and
compliment the rest of the make-up.

8. Initial Ideas For Costumes
Kelly:
Beginning scenes from intro to the end of the first chorus:
Casual clothing: jeans, a nice going out top (white), a jacket (leather or bomber), boots or flats
House Scene: second verse onwards
Fish net tights, big oversized top or a baggy jumper, torn jean shorts, white nightdress (optional)
Tammy:
Beginning scene:
College clothing casual with an item of white (preferably a top)
For the rest of the scenes that she is in wearing something similar but comforting to juxtapose the way she’s
feeling… nothing fancy either baggy clothes or nightwear with a childish icon e.g. mickey mouse etc.
Leanne:
Beauty shot and performance scenes all black attire; black harem trousers, black vest top and black shoes/boots.
For narrative scenes…
Saskia:
Casual clothing: jeans, a nice going out top (white), a jacket (leather or bomber), boots or flats
