Make-up

In one point of our sequence, the male protagonist —David— gets shot in the head by the extremists. This means that we need a make-up artist with enough practice to render the impression of a real, fresh wound made by a gun. Laura Smith is the first name that has come to mind. She is well-known all around Hurtwood for her mastery of make-up, not so much for beauty purposes but actually for theatre and film. To make sure that she was the right person, Myles took a look on her Instagram, and we were certain that we needed her after a few seconds of looking at examples like the one on the right.           Our actor, Callum, would need to get a bullet wound in his forehead towards the end of the sequence. This causes a problem, because we intend to show his face in the beginning when he's searching for clean socks inside of a suitcase which appears in the frame. We would need to make a subtle cut somewhere in order to add the make-up for the last bit of the scene. I have thought of a different option: shooting the sequence both with and without make-up on and edit it afterwards. We will ask for guidance soon concerning this aspect.                                                    Anyway, Myles has sent Laura an email. We are aware of the fact that she is going to be wanted by many people like us, but we still hope that she has time to help us in the shoot day.
