Make up & Special Effects

I looked at make-up tutorials online to give me and idea about what kind of makeup we will use during filming to give our actors characteristics that will match the genre conventions.
We were thinking about maybe giving the intruder bruises on her body in places to show that she may have been sleeping uncomfortably. It will also effect the audience as they may wonder where the bruises are from and become uncomfortable as bruises aren't nice to look at. I took a look at this youtube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wgokk2ktyU it shows how to create a few different types of bruise to give old or newness.

I also looked at how to create scratches as this could also give a similar effect as the bruises on the viewer and make them uncomfortable or sympathetic to the character whilst questioning what she has been doing and if she may have been running away from someone. This tutorial shows a realistic and easy way to create scratches or cuts on the skin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgdpzgORzhU

I looked into contouring as Lewis already has quite angular facial features but it may look better if we shallow out his face more to make a more depressed and alcoholic look. This tutorial is quite good as its a natural look and doesn't involve too much foundation as we won't be using foundation because it will cover his imperfections that we don't want covered as we want him to look quite raw. We may even be able to achieve the tired look if we tweak the method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjGoea8iRDM
