Behind the Scenes (chorus)

To represent the idea of a 'sweet dream' and a 'beautiful nightmare', which are the lyrics that appear in the chorus, we have designed the singers face to appear as a contrasting good vs evil. Within our video we have a fairytale theme that runs throughout, to involve this in our chorus we use a red apple, an iconic prop associated with the fairytale 'Snow White'. When the 'good' side is turned toward the camera the apple appears red and shiny. As the lyrics change into a 'beautiful nightmare' the singer appears facing directly toward the camera as she takes a bite out of the apple. As she turns to reveal her evil side, when the apple is removed from her mouth it appears black to represent her poisonous evil.

'Sweet Dream'

We have purposely chosen not use any colour eyeshadow on the eyelid as we wanted her to appear as sweet, innocent and pure as possible. We used lip-liner to create the flower shape that appears to be coming from her eye, to continue on with the idea of a fantasised reality which is a major pattern throughout our video.

Natural make-up with a hint of gentle pink represents her softer side, representing purity and innocence. The pink and white flowers tie in with the idea of love and romance. The hair has been left in its natural flowing curls representing natural beauty.

'Beautiful Nightmare'

The 'evil' side is dominantly black, with smoky silvery eyes to portray the mystery within her character and a smudge of red dripping from her lips to illustrate blood, often a feature associated with the evil character. We used eyeliner on the face to create the bold, dramatic and sharp patterns. The pointed curl on the arrow is to represent the devils tale, the master of evil.

The hair appears in a tight curled bun on the side of her head to show that she is in control and makes her look powerful. We attached the hair onto the face using hair-spray. This unusual creation we decided would look effective in creating a masculine and powerful image, it also helps to make her look more evilly possessed.
