Developing Miss Havisham

Miss Havisham mind map 

In my own time I started trying to think of different ideas and ways I could portray Miss Havisham through the years of her uncanny character. I started with stating different times of her existence from the day she was getting married to the day she burns to her death. I also starting expanding ideas on her described look in the book and what known features and clothing she has. In the upcoming weeks I will have to explore Miss Havishams character and finalise my idea to one look and how I want to portray her through make-up. 

Miss Havisham Face Chart-
When thinking of what period I want to portray Miss Havisham I started getting ideas about her character at the end of the film when she sets on fire and starts burning. I thought really cool idea I could create would be Miss Havisham with a part burnt face and the rest her normal old pale face. This would show the contrast between her natural complexion of white, old skin, tired eyes and dried lips and the partly burnt face. During the end of Miss Havishams life when all she felt was sorrow and hurt due to the life she led slowly died while she burnt.

I want to create an aged look through make-up which
will be mostly on one side of the face however
also under the burn. I've got inspiration from this 
photo on creating my Miss Havisham.

For the other half of the face I want to create burns,
this photo is quite similar to how I want to create the burns 
on the character.

I want to give myself options with the look I can create therefore I will be practising different looks and creating different face charts on how I can portray Miss Havisham. With most of the looks I will definitely have to give myself time to practise what I want to do as Its quite hard to create ageing and burns that would look realist. For the first character we're creating it's for continuity therefore when I create it once I will have study the look hard, document what I did, take photographic evidence and then recreate the look again. I will explore her age and experiment with the look as I will have to create this on my chosen partner.
