Task 5 - Makeup in Theatre and Film

The makeup I like in one of the films I've enjoyed is Natalie Portman as the Black Swan. The makeup artist is Judy Chin. I like the makeup as it is dark, scary and mysterious as it signifies a black bird.

Another one I find interesting is Jason Voorhees in the Friday 13th franchise. The picture below is of a young Jason portrayed by Ari Lehman with makeup artist Tom Savini. I like this certain special effects makeup as I am a major fan of horror movies and I find it amazing how a makeup artist can change the look of someone so drastically!

 

 

One of my favourites is The Joker portrayed by the late Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. I find this makeup very interesting as it has become legendary because of Heath's tragic death six months before this movie was even released!

 

 

"Why so serious?"

 

 

Another one I like is the special effects makeup of Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean. The picture on the far left shows actor Bill Nighy with certain makeup effects on his face to show where the CGI should fit in, resulting in the picture at the far right.

 

 

The last one I like is Johnny Depp's makeup in Dark Shadows done by Joel Harlow. I like the dark makeup around the eyes to give an eery look to an immortal vampire.
