Make Up In Motion Evaluation

During this project I have learned many new skills and techniques that I know will be invaluable to me in the future, and have been so enjoyable to create and practise. It has also been interesting for me to learn the importance of continuity, as well discovering how hard it is, and the importance of taking detailed notes and many different images of the stages and process in creating a look. I also enjoyed reading the book 'Great Expectations', I had never previously read it and am now pleased that I have as it is a famous and well publicised book. The detail in it was also very inspiring. In the 'Claudia and Mrs Laderman' unit I enjoyed having my own freedom and being able to develop my characters how I wanted. The main elements that I struggled with in this unit were, firstly, making the dry lips on my Miss Havisham look the same, which I overcame by taking many images of the lip I created in the first assessment, as well as making many notes and constantly referring to them in the continuity assessment. Secondly I also had difficulties with my character Claudia, as my model struggled to apply the white contact lenses. There was very little I could do to overcome this, but I tried to angle many of the images, to make it as effective as possible. I found working to the Great Expectations brief enjoyable but struggled with the second unit as I had problems with my creativity.
