Applying make up

To create the scary and tense atmosphere for our film opening, we applied makeup to our victim. We did a number of tests on other people before applying to the main actor for best results.
We used fake blood, a mixture of honey, water, red food colouring and cornflower, coloured eyeshadow for the bruise effect, and oil. These all gave him appearance that he has sweaty, bloody and bruised-faced.
To give the impression that his face was 'cut' or flesh had been 'peeled' off, we added a mixture of vaseline and red food colouring together to produce the results.
