One priority I have always had is that Miss Devlin, who is playing our psycho mother, must look strange or abnormal as that's the type of character she is playing. At the same time, this can't be too obvious from the beginning. Obviously the picture I've shown is a more dramatic picture of what she will look like as it's too much for our film, but the make up will be dark and heavy showing harsh features on her face as that is quite stereotypical for a 'bad person' to have in a horror film. The way we'll make her look will still be within the boundaries of 'normal', we don't want the look to go over the top and look ridiculous, but there will be harsh elements that would probably be increased as the film continues.
We've decided to choose red nail varnish as well for Miss Devlin to put on, red is a harsh colour that can have several meanings/genres behind it such as love or horror. We use a set of shots where you can see close ups of her hands/fingers so we wanted to differentiate her character even more by showing red on her finger nails which could have connotations about the character being played.
