The ingredients and tools listed above are simple but essential mise en scene techniques I used in order to bring my film to life (irony). Although these steps all seem relatively easy, I was actually incredibly nervous because I am no make up or special affects artist! So, I really wanted the application of the supplies to produce something thrilling and terryifying.
I applied and layered the eyeshadow colors boldly around Vivi's entire right eye. Then, I used the eyeshadow colors to create a large outline of a circle on her forehead. Afterwards, I dripped the blood mixture inside the space making the injury appear as a huge bloody gash in the middle of her head.
I thought it came out pretty well after following some of the instructions from research and by just experimenting and having fun.
