1. HUMAN CHINA DOLL
Our next idea was to develop the doll into coming ‘alive’ and haunt the characters
in the film trailer. We now looked into china doll fancy dress/human china dolls…

2. CHINA DOLLS
We decided to base our film trailer on ‘china dolls’ as despite we
see this object/toy as incredibly scary and great for a new up
and coming horror film we see it as a gap in the market as there
is only a limited amount of films in todays media which involves
dolls such as Saw and Chucky. Although theses films aren’t
based on china dolls specifically. After we decide our film was
based on china dolls. We began to research into photographs,
information and myths about china dolls.

3. THE TRADITION CHINA DOLL
We decided as a group our traditional china doll toy is going to be our main
prop in our trailer. Researching photographs this is what we found…

4. SCARY CHINA DOLL
We then took it further and looked into scary and haunted dolls…

5. Our attempt
After research into typical china dolls we
had a first attempt at reproducing the make
up for our character who will act in the
trailer as the china doll. We made a paste
from talcum powder and water to spread as
a base on the skin to create the pale/white
look china dolls have. We then focused on
the eye make up stereotypical china dolls
are ‘pretty’ and made up we tried to
recreate this by applying mascara eyeliner
and small fake lashes giving that ‘perfect’
look. We then finished the look by applying
pink rosey blusher and bright red lipstick.
We over exaggerated the lips as we believe
dolls are generally made to look very
defined we also made the makeup over the
top so it was more clear on camera when
filming the character.
