SKETCHES AND IDEAS

In order to create a better image of how we wanted the characters to look, we decided to make some labelled sketches of our ideas to see how they would look on the character. We did end up changing a few parts of it, for example the antler/ears headset and the hoof ideas, because they proved to be too difficult or too expensive to create. One sketch was coloured in order to create a more secure image of how Mr Tumnus would be presented, and the other sketch was left uncoloured so there would be more room for improvement. 

The sketches helped with creating the characters because they visually represented how our ideas would work on the character and they stopped mistakes being made before it was too late to change anything. 

MR TUMNUS

MAKEUP
TRIALLING THE MAKEUP AND WHY WE CHOSE THE PRODUCTS

We started by priming the face. The reason we primed the face is to create a smooth and moisturized surface to apply the makeup onto.

We then moved onto foundation. The foundation makes sure the colour of the face is even and not blotchy in any places and it makes sure the face will show up flawlessly on camera.

Onto the foundation we applied concealer, we did this to further ensure there were no imperfections and to brighten some areas of the face up.

To set the base, we used some setting powder. This makes sure the makeup doesn’t show up as too shiny on camera and also makes sure the base lasts throughout the filming.

We then added some contour to the cheekbones, we decided to use the darkest colour to ensure it shows up on screen and so the spots that we will later create shows up well. We also used the same colour on the eyebrows to fill them out and make sure they’re even.

We added some spots onto the contour with the concealer to replicate the markings that you may find on a fawn. We did this to link the character to the species that the script says it is which is a faun.

We then moved onto the eye makeup. We decided to add a bit of sparkle to the eyes using the gold eyeshadow to draw attention to them and to make sure the contour isn’t driving the attention away from the other aspects of the face. We used deep brown on the crease of the eyes to make them seem slightly larger and we used some white shimmer dust on the inner corners of the eyes to make them seem, wider. Eyeliner was used  to line the eyes and make them seem like the eyelashes are longer than they are.

To create the nose, a different eyeliner was used to create a guideline for the nose and we used a black eyeshadow to fill it in.

We finished the look off by using a glitter lip-gloss to make the lips seem shinier and to make sure they aren’t overcrowded by the other makeup surrounding it.

COSTUME

Mr Tumnus was portrayed to have goat-like legs and to be bear chested. This was a complication for us as it was nearing winter when we filmed so it would be too cold to have the actor without a shirt, and the legs would be too complicated to replicate, so we made some adjustments. Instead of having no shirt, the actor wore a thick jumper in order to stay warm. I think it worked pretty well with the makeup and it showed the audience that the scene was set in winter. We made some horns out of some Devil horns left over from Halloween and painted them with brown paint which fit the look very well and fit with the script, we then paired it with a flower crown to disguise the headband and to add an extra element of nature.

LUCY PEVENSIE

COSTUME

We had a choice of three dresses for Lucy’s costume. Even though the first dress was a good length and design for the character, it didn’t seem to match colour we were looking for and it lacked design. The second dress was also a good length and it had the type of pattern we were aiming for, however, again, the colour didn’t seem right. The third dress was the dress we decided to choose because it had the type of pattern we imagined would suit Lucy and it had a good colour, we also had to consider the fact that we were going to be filming outside and that it would be cold, and the dress seemed like it would be warm if it was paired with a thick cardigan and a thick pair of tights. One problem was that the dress was shorter than the others, which might have proved to be a problem because of the cold weather, however, we included a white long sleeved top underneath the cardigan and paired it with the tights.
