Media Make-up | 10 Week CourseThis course offers intensive training in all skills relevant to professional make-up artistry within the media industry. We refer to “Media” as working in all areas such as fashion, TV, video, stage, special FX and film, so that the content and skills learnt are fully comprehensive and cover all areas. Students who train in this area are more likely to achieve successful careers as their skills/knowledge are more varied, meeting the demands of the media industry. Please read the full course content overview below for full details. In short, 10 week graduates will be multi skilled, offering beneficial gain to any employer. Another huge benefit on this course is portfolio week. Week 10 of this course is dedicated solely to the development of your portfolio (the most crucial factor in gaining your work). Each day of portfolio week will be your chance to exercise all skills learnt, and gain valuable experience in working with professional models and a photographer in a real studio environment to create numerous images, which you can proudly display in your portfolio. A typical day will be doing the make-up of one female model. The models are varied in age and race to provide your portfolio with as much variance as possible. We will also help you create a hairstyle to compliment your work. You will choose your model’s outfit with our guidance and work on set, maintaining your work and assisting the photographer. This experience is as real as being on a professional job and will give you confidence in this area when entering your career (see Portfolio). All of the days of portfolio week will be on location at a professional photography studio. 10 Week Media Make-Up Course Content OverviewWeek 1 Day 1 Course introduction Day 2 Natural make-up for high fashion close up photography (no make-up looks, matt & dewy / shimmer & colour) Day 3 Eyebrows and eyebrow correction Day 4 Bridal make-up (services, advertising & fees) Day 5 Classic catwalk uniform make-up Week 2 Day 6 Male model make-up Day 7 20 minute make-up applications to a brief demo & practical body make-up (incl. corrective make-up, foundation, applications, muscle definition, shading & hand make-up) Day 8 Glamour make-up Day 9 Beauty make-up Day 10 Black, Asian & oriental make-up Week 3 Day 11 Straight corrective make-up for TV & film (male & female) Day 12 Careers work (CV’s, composition cards, marketing, advertising, unions, insurance, registration protocol, tax, NI, go sees, castings, networking contacts, invoicing & fees, dailies) Day 13 Body painting & creative design – demo Day 14 Stage make-up (straight, character and ageing) Day 15 Working with briefs, treatments & scripts (incl. different types of briefs/ treatments, script / character breakdown & budgeting) Week 4 Day 16 Bald cap making Day 17 Researching for TV & film Day 18 Bald cap application & make-up Day 19 Practice of body painting/ creative design Day 20 Recap & portfolio practice Week 5 – High Definition Airbrushing Day 21 Tools, equipment, materials & kits Day 22 Shading and highlighting Day 23 Eye shadow & eyebrows Day 24 Casualty effects (incl. death, stencil & tattoo work, veins and bruising) Day 25 Casualty effects continued Week 6 – Period Make-Up Grecian Week 7 & 8 – Special FX Tools, equipment & materials Week 9 – Fashion Styling Week 10 – Portfolio Week |
