Sally Bowles...
I decided to focus on one of the smaller scenes when reading through the screenplay. This particular part has quite a good description of her appearance before performing on stage.
Close-up Sally:
Now her face is made-up, exotic eyes, improbable lashes. She is wearing a red lias-cut dress with nothing under it. She smiles confidently, and begins to sing.
SALLY'S NUMBER, (new song to be written for this spot.)
At the end of Sally's number, we cut to table near front. Brian sits there alone, applauding enthusiastically, delighted with Sally.
As the screenplay states she;
- face is made-up
- exotic eyes
- improbable lashes
- Confident smile
These four elements are what I focused on when producing my face chart. Her face is more or less always made up as we see her with a full face of make-up on throughout nearly the whole of the film. As we only ever see her glamorous aspiring actress persona rather than the insecure quite lonely girl she tends to hide. I ensured the make-up I applied on my face chart was quite prominent and exaggerated however I don't think it shows as clearly on camera. I wanted to avoid creating a 'clownish' interpretation so some of the features such as the blue eyes and red lips will appear much more prominent on my model.
After test shoot/practice shoots:
After test shoot/practice shoots:
- big lashes on bottom/top
- more glitter on cheek bones/under eyes
- dark red or red lip liner
- definition of cheek bones
