Head cut makeup test


At one point in our film, there is a scene where Adrian (Sean) trips over and cuts his head open. This injury is a vital part of our film, so it needs to look convincing in close-up shots.
To see how difficult it might be to create a prosthetic cut, Matthew used a simple halloween makeup kit consisting of red, black and purple paint, a sachet of fake blood, a fine brush, and a blending sponge.
The finished result is good enough to use in our film, although it might not be as big in the final piece as Adrian only trips and bangs his head on the floor so it wouldn't need to be that serious of a wound.
