HALL SCENE Behind the Scenes - Creating Our Character by Maria Beardall and Jess

We asked Sam's friend Lozza if she would kindly play the role of our main character Eliza. She fortunately accepted.

Before we made her entail everything we wanted Eliza to be like, Lozza was wearing the white dress we asked, ripped black tights, black feather earrings and her hair was unstyled.

Adding the eyeshadow

Lozza's hair was curled and she wore gold eyeshadow on her eyelids and under her eyes, almost like an eyeliner. This was done to draw attention to her eyes to emphasise her unsettled feeling. It came out well through the camera lense. We used a gold glitter because I (Jess) already owned it, therefore no extra costs were needed and it worked well with the white dress and also added some colour to the frame. 

She didn't wear her feather earings because they weren't in the costume brief and had curly hair.
