Research - Make Up

Make up is very important because it allows different creations and different characters to be made.  Make up is used in everyday life to cover up imperfections and it is commonly used in many movies to add age or wounds e.g. 

Age

 

Wound

Having a horror without some fake blood, wounds etc would make the horror very bland and not stick to the genre.  In our group we are going to be using make up to highlight on some wounds and fake blood, but we do feel that it is important not to do to much to the extent the horror loses focus and turns into something tacky.
