The second brief we were given this term was to create two characters that would be able to fit into our choice of different horror tv shows. The show that I decided to choose was American Horror Story and the season I chose to create my characters in was 'Coven'.
How did I overcome problems with the design and materials?
I don't really see myself as having any problems with the design of these characters, I had previously watched this series and therefore felt that I would be able to create my own character quite successfully. However one problem that I did have was the fact that I wanted to shoot both my characters on location instead of one in the studio as although the studio contains harsher lighting to be able to judge the makeup skills better, I felt for the overall look they would have been more successful with them both on location.
How did I develop my character research?
To develop my character research I began by watching clips from the series to have an analytical look at what the characters were wearing and the design of their makeup. I then decided to research into different witches throughout horror as I thought this would give me a good understanding of what is expected when you create a character like this.
How did I find it working to the brief?
I really liked this brief. I thought it was exciting and gave you a chance to express your skills in a non confined way, the brief was very open and you could essentially create whatever character you wanted (within reason). However as I have previously stated I would have rather the brief allowed you to be able to shoot both characters on location instead of one having to be done in the studio.
