After re watching several horror film trailers, I paid particular attention to the make up used. For the normal everyday make up of the characters, very natural and understated make up tends to be used in most films. This will probably involve only using a bit of foundation and mascara, without much need for anything else for these shots which involve the characters going about their every day lives.
However, when it comes to the shots of characters crying, bleeding or running away, we will need to use a lot more make up. In each of these example shots from professional texts, the characters tend to look a bit sweaty faced, which is something that we can very easily duplicate simply by using water. One of the most important effects we will need to use in order to make our trailer look very effective is fake blood. With Halloween coming up soon, now is the ideal time to source fake blood very easily from supermarkets. We will buy some fake blood before we begin shooting and test it out in order to ensure it looks as realistic as possible. This will be used on the face, on arms etc for cuts, and also possibly on clothes. We may also need to use mud for the outdoor shots where the characters are running away.
