Developing Ideas - Creating looks and face charts for Claudia

Dark Eyes and Lips - Adapting to Claudia

Quentin - Character Analysis

My character;Quentin,  is over powered by Claudia. He is her imaginary boyfriend so she makes him love her and makes him do anything as she pleases, but his true feelings is that he loves someone else but he can not get away from Claudia as she has control over him and compells him to make him love her and as she is a vampire, she feeds on him because she gets hungry and he is the only person around. Claudia has a next door neighbour called Mrs Laderman and she is a witch, so to see Quentin, she drinks special herbs and to her, he is a real human being. Claudia, erases his memory, he is just a toy to her and she can do whatever she wants because its all in her imagination. 

Quentin doesn’t want to be this way but he has no choice but to do as she says, he can’t get away from her. He has bites all over his body from where she has bit him but looks rather normal and handsome. His character is a timid good looking boy, but as the herbs wear off, he becomes powerful and tries to get out of Claudia's life, but she's more powerful than him... Everyday of his life he tries to get away from her but everyday also forgets and lives the same day over and over again trying to seek his true love...

Claudia - Character Analysis

My character;Claudia, is in her own little dream world, thinking that she is a vampire and dresses up exactly how the ‘vampire diaries’ vampire feeds look because she’s obsessed with the TV programme and is so fascinated with it that she thinks that it is real and in her mind set, she is like them and that it is a real thing that happens. 

She is overpowered by the powers that a vampire has and thinks that she has them too and plays with Quentin’s mind (her imaginary boyfriend) to do whatever she wants and forces him to love her. As she feeds, she bites Quentin but then erases his memory every time so he thinks that she is an angel but also has a spell on him so that he will only love her but the spells only lasts a certain amount of time and every time he comes out he tries to find his actual true love, and Claudia knows this, so she casts the spell over and over again so he won’t leave her. But she thinks that this is a normal life so she is happy how she is and lives a ‘normal to her’ life.

Her personality is lead by the characters of vampire Diaries and whatever she has watched is how she would feel, she loves to live in a fantasy world because she doesn't really know what a 'normal' life is because she's a prisoner trapped in her own home. Claudia is just a girl that wants to be loved and not by anyone, but by Quentin but she has an imagination that betrays her and her character of Quentin is to pursue another love, but she wants him. Being a vampire gives you the powers of the world and she can do whatever she wants so Quentin is exactly what she wants.

I would imagine her make-up to be dark and mysterious but her facial features are also loving and a person that you couldn't leave from all of the devious things that she is capable of, she is a pretty scary character...

The Vampire Diaries - Power Point

The Vampire Diaries - Power Point

This was the beginning idea process that I went through after watching the first series of Vampire diaries, since then I have watched 5 series and have got a better view and design process in my mind to develop my ideas. 

This is not my final mood board, I just put it together as a draft to get a clear idea of what I wanted to do and how I wanted to present my ideas but I am making a more professional mood board.

Same with my Quentin mood board too.

I have found my models and am now in my design process to develop my ideas that I have right now and time to collect all of the materials that I need for my looks so that I can practice them and also develop them if needs be.

Great Expectation - Evaluation

The Gothic Horror brief has been a living nightmare to me, I hate everything about Horror and does not interest me one bit. However, I have quite enjoyed over coming my fears and trying my best to grin and bare the tasks that have been given. It has not been easy but I have tried my best to work hard and create designs and looks that I have been set out to do. There has been interesting things that I have learnt on the journey and some interesting historical facts. My design process was very interesting but I didn't fully understand the brief so I have panicked my way through the brief, I didn't enjoy The Great Expectations and found it quite strange but the work that I produced turned to be positive and it went quite well as I began to design and create my looks for the timed assessments.

Art of Gothic

The Art of Gothic episodes I found surprisingly interesting as I progressed in to the series, I am not going to lie, I thought that I would absolutely hate watching it and I thought that it would really scare and freak me out, some parts I skipped because I didn't find interesting or a bit scary but the parts that I did sit down and watched I found so interesting and history actually does interest me and I did not think that it would which was good and I enjoyed it. The parts that I found most interesting was the architecture, I love looking at buildings to get inspiration and hearing all of the history of the buildings and why they are like they are and the inspiration that people got to build them was very interesting and the all sort of buildings were. As I was watching, I was thinking of all the make-up looks that I could create from the Victorian buildings as I love weird and wacky make-up. I am very interested in the mourning that Queen Victoria went through with Prince Albert and am extremely inspired by the love that was there. It made me think if that's why people most these days wear a lot of black, it is such a good colour but also reflects death so it's more contemporary horror in decade that we are in. It was interesting to see al of the different gothic topics that he went through and how much 'gothic' is in our lives, I did not realise at all! I am very glad I watched it and learnt a fair few interesting things that could inspire me.
