Since our video is primarily concept, we decided that the dancers should have extravagant makeup mainly to keep the audience entertained more than anything.
We decided on decorating the eye area on each dancer, with eye shadow. The images above demonstrate two different colour designs which the group have been designing and practicing. The black and silver design are more fitting with the outfits each dancer will be wearing, as they will predominately be in black. However, the blue design contrasts better against the black making the shots more appealing to watch. The black and silver design has the advantage where the actual concept is concerned, as it is 'broken dreams' and therefore is symbolic for misery, and also helps to set the ambiance for the depressing theme of the song the video will have to reflect to the audience.
After much experimenting we finally decided that this style of makeup design would not work very well for what we wanted to do. We struggled to pick up the makeup on the camera when using long shots meaning we had to sit back down and come up with more ideas so that the effect of the makeup would be maximised.
This idea was inspired by the film, Black Swan. Which saw as a good example of powerful design and bold imagery.
