The document provides details on costume, hair, and makeup ideas for a horror film about possession. For costume, the possessed child's clothes will start clean but become dirty and sweaty as the possession takes over. Hair will initially be neat but become ratty, tangled, and wet from sweat to show the progression of possession. Makeup techniques like using darker foundations and pens to define lines will age the mother's face. The possessed children will have a pale, sweaty, and clammy look inspired by the film Possession, with very dark skin around the eyes.

6. Costume
The type of costume which you see within a possession film is very basic and
simple, its usually clean at the beginning of the film and as the film
progresses the characters clothing then turns dirty as well as sweaty. The
clothes which we particularly see within most horror films are very normal
and usually to date with the era in which the film is being set within. The
type of clothes in which most of the character in our trailer will wear will be
normal clothes, mostly clean apart from when the child becomes possessed
as her clothes will start to become grubby and sweaty due to the possession
taking over.

7. Hair
The type of hair which is usually seen within horror films if very
ratty, tangled and wet from sweat. However at the beginning of the
film the characters hair would be very neat and clean, through the
transaction of the look of the hair highlights the stories paces and
the change to the equilibrium. Within our horror film, our group are
going to try and show this and represent this conventions of typical
hair within a possession film on our characters. We were inspired to
use this type of hair on our characters through the use of it within
the film of ‘ Exorcism of Emily Rose’.
As seen within these pictures from the film ‘ Exorcism of Emily
Rose’ we see that they have followed through with the sweaty and
ratty hair, it looks like she has been running away from something,
like she is trying to escape. As well a the belief that possession are
dirty which correlate with the fact that her hair looks gritty and
grease the sense that its dirty from the possession. To try and
create this look we may wet the characters hair and towel dry it to
give it the effect of being sweaty but ensure that the hair is not
dripping wet as it will cause it to loose the effect in which we are
trying to portray.

8. Make up
To create the look of possession on the children as well as age the face of the actor
who is playing the mother, we will use different techniques and styles of make up to
portray these types of faces. For example to age the actress of the mother we will
use techniques such as defining lines of the faces and adding more dark and brown
colours to display that this is meant to be a older woman. Ways in which we can do
this would be to use dark toned foundation as well as use foundation pens to create
the lines along the faces stand out, alongside the use of eye shadow such as browns
and cream to emphasise the idea of her being a older woman.
To create the look of possession on the children, our
inspiration for the look of possession on the children has
come from the film ‘possession’. The look of a possessed
person is very white and pale almost as if they are being
drained, like they are sick, alongside being very sweaty and
clammy from the possession like its taking over and
controlling as well as hurting. Alongside this the skin around
her eyes is very black like she is tired as well as the darkness
taking over. We will apply all of these skills to trying to create
the possessed look on the children within our trailer.
