Presenting a special effects makeup assignment?

I think the idea of crime scene photography would be great. Maybe as in old time detective era, for example, get some black and white shots for the reports if that is allowed, but obviously, you would need to still be able to capture the detail of the wounds. Maybe you could ask some photography students for help with setting the scene and photographing it. The ones that would be dead would work best for this as there would be no crime scene photography for smaller incidents but there are so many ways you can play around with it. thinks of ways to 'kill' them, ie, burns victim, electrocution, suicide (by hanging maybe - that would be a pretty easy one actually). Good luck.

Well it honestly depends on what you have at your disposal or what you can buy. I once made my friend look like a zombie using only two eyeshadow colors (he just wanted me to do it quickly for a laugh). Obviously it wasn't perfect but that's all I had at the time. One thing I suggest is to look at pictures of zombies and skeletons to get a decent idea of what different types of zombies look like and also have general skeletal structure knowledge as it will help you know where to contour and highlight. Obviously you want to darken around the eyes and make them appear more gaunt. When I did my friend, I used a greenish eyeshadow color and black. The green was to make his skin appear like it was deteriorating. I don't know if you have access to any stores around you that carry prosthetics but you can always look and see what they have that could help. I'm also not sure how advanced you are and if you know how to apply them yet... I personally use a special glue (not spirit gum) to attach foam latex prosthetics and then paint them. You can add blood too at the end.
