POWER-POINT PRESENTATION SLIDES...

Notes: I chose the EMCEE as my contemporary character as I think he’s the perfect character to create a modern version of. The EMCEE is a small man that performs in the KitKat club. He is occasionally played by a woman but is often dressed in drag portraying over exaggerated make-up look, similar to a drag queen.

Notes: Mixture of hair and make-up looks collected through research. Trying to incorporate  the 1920’s and 30’s hair was quite difficult in my opinion as there not really any limits when creating the contemporary character so sometimes you get a little carried away with how dramatic and exaggerated a look can be and forget that it still has to portray some historical factors. The EMCEE in particular has pretty outrageous stage make-up meaning a lot is possible with the make-up look to, creating a final look for both was defiantly difficult to narrow down.

Notes: My EMCEE character was heavily influenced by Michael and James. Both characters narrate the film but are also the main bodies in it. Over exaggerating in most scenes as if it was an on stage act. This is very similar to the EMCEE character as we only ever see him on stage. Both roles in each film also share the heavily applied make-up. In ‘Party Monster’ it is obviously much more outrageous and each look portrays a whole character but I think this is just a modern version of the EMCEE.

Notes: Emphasis on the big lashes definitely on the bottom lash line. Feathers/fake lashes. Block out eyebrows and exaggerate over the top like top left image it really alters a expression of the face. The lip shape is what I was confident from the beginning going to severely outline lip way over lip line to really add that drag queen associated look plus this was commonly seen throughout my research on Leigh Bowery, characters in Party Monster, Drag queens, Club kids males.  The big lashes were also commonly seen on cabaret girls in the 1920’s and 30’s so including this on my design but using a different medium will still incorporate a historical factor to my work. 

Notes: I found these images from V-magazine only recently which really made me re-think my design. The look includes my exaggerated lip look that I wanted to use plus it put a fun twist on the eye design I was planning on. I love the fact the model almost look like alien/bugs with the drawn on eyes and lips it almost makes the images look like a young painting or illustration but the make-up is still so brilliantly perfected. 

Notes: Mixture of hair my final image. Quite diverse range off looks ranging from quite simple finger waves to a big crown like decoration of colourful, strings and shapes. I really wanted to attempt the image on the bottom right and create a crown like piece but I worry it may look to over the top with the over exaggerated make-up. However after trying to attempt how to create that look either using a synthetic wig or just accessories. I came across this popular knot 90’s hairstyle.  I know the look doesn't include 1920’s and 30’s hair references but my aim was to create a look like on the top right then incorporate kiss curls with some of the deliberately left hair. I also aim to add numerous colours to the knots so the hair doesn't look to bland compared to the make-up.
