Practise Shots: The Antagonist

How did I create this look?

Hair

First I brushed and straightened out the curls. I then parted the hair on the side and using A LOT of hair-gel, I managed to slick down the sides to create the 'comb-over'. Also, using an eye-brow comb, I brushed the end hairs of the eyebrows upwards to resemble that of an evil cartoon figure. The gardeners hair will appear more dishevelled as oppose to the soldier hair style.

Make-up

To achieve an even complexion I lightly coated his face in foundation. I then contoured the angles of his face, defining the cheek-bones and the depth of the eyes. This created a sallow, angular look which complemented the sinister approach of his character.

Costume

The antagonist takes on a number of roles within the narrative which will be reflected through the trailer and so this means there will be three different types of costume. We will experience flashbacks towards the death of the girl in which the antagonist will be presented as the murderous gardener. We will then be brought to the present, in which we see him now as a soldier; eventually he will be stripped of his military jacket, to only be wearing a t-shirt (this is the scene in which he is seduced and then killed). The removal of the jacket indicates that the main character is demasculinising him, reducing him to nothing and taking away his power.
