- 4. Shooting process They had to turn African American men into blonde white girls which was very difficult. They had to: • Make plaster casts of their faces • Soften their strong jaw lines and cheekbones • Make their faces bigger with layers of foam latex • Glen Hanz created four separate foam ”appliances” covering the entire face • Develop a water-based acrylic paint in a bright orangey-red that we airbrushed on them to cancel out the ash tones and over that, Revlon Color-Stay foundation
- 5. • They got colored eye contacts to make their whole eye bright at the whites and blue in the pupils • They got straight blond wigs, the wigs were very important in hiding the sides of their faces and their necks • Cannom said It took six weeks of testing to perfect the body makeup alone, they spend 60 days recreating the girls look every single day and it was difficult for them because if they messed up it would ruin everything. Marlon and Shawn were were hardly getting any sleep between the makeup and working all day.

Available: https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2012/05/the-50-most-racist-movies/. Last accessed 9th november 2018. This review was published on May the 9th 2012. This is a review from a critic who clearly didn't know what he's talking about, there is no such thing as ”Whiteface” but there is something called black face. Blackface goes as far as the 1800s, blackfaces was used to criticize and create a caricature of how black people are/look. It was used to make fun of anyone with a dark pigment on their skin. The reason why ”whiteface” isn't a thing is because white people were not affected at all, they weren't criticized and their skin color was not used as entertainment for people to laugh at.
- 9. Qualitative research- to find out more about peoples opinions on white chicks. • Matthews rated it a 6/10 because he found some of the jokes too cringe. • Sam rated it a 6/10 because the pace of the film was too slow for him but overall he thought it was good. • Jamie rated it 5/10 because some the jokes were “flat” and the jokes weren't for him but overall it was good. • I would give it a 8/10 because I love the Wayans brothers especially Marlon. I think they are both so funny and the fact that they were so calm and kept up their moral during filming when they were barely getting any sleep due to work and makes me appreciate the movie much more. The movie was great because it was so funny and some of the things the actors/actresses would stuck in my heads.
