FINAL MAJOR PROJECT
The concept:
My desired
career path is corrective make-up so it got me thinking about the concept of
beauty. As often heard ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, that’s why I want to portray a questioning mindset of what our personal views on beauty are; how do we
create ourselves and how make-up application can be the formation or distortion of it. The outcome will be a short film showing a metamorphosis using the face as my blank canvas.
My
main inspiration for this concept was triggered by the short film ‘A family Affair’ by make-up artist and
photographer Ellis Faas, her muse being renowned artist Francis Bacon. Faas
states that Bacon’s work inspired her due to the use of colour, I read that she
found it “unnerving and stunningly
beautiful at the same time”. I
am determined to represent that distortions of the norm are not necessarily
unattractive and believe that viewers are more acceptant and receptive of this
when presented through an art form.
Hopefully the film will leave the audience in a
reflective mindset, as well as excited about the different prospects make-up
has as a creative art form as this is the feeling Faas' video left me and inspires me to communicate this further.
