#theperformance

I wrote this a while ago, but just posting it now :)

That’s filming done for the performance which means my role is done in this film, which has been such a joy to be a part of :))

I was on a mission to gather as many pink things as I could so that the overarching theme would be pink or a perceived femininity to reflect Marie’s want to belong. I also thought it was a bit surreal to be greeted with such saturation of one colour, which was really part of the purpose of many of the scenes in this film, to create that unreality and feeling of surrealism/an oneiric feeling, to isolate Marie and reflect her state of mind.

I set dressed the bedroom with Ava, my friend who helped me :)) (David lent his room which was really kind) and it went pretty smoothly, I was really happy overall with the effect achieved. I did add more things after on the walls, and changed a few aspects but I didn’t get a photo in time!

I didn’t choose big posters in time, and I think that was because I freaked out a bit about the character and left it too late. I was gonna bring my own posters but I just overthought it and felt it wouldn’t fit. Anyhow everything else I thought through properly and it was all good :)) David’s room got YASSIFIED.

I also dressed the bathroom with pink shower gels and razors and other things, messed up a bathroom shelf with makeup everywhere. Orla and Ben spray- painted a white shower curtain pink which was so sweet of them (Orla helped me massively and provided plenty of her own sort of gay teenage items which really helped because I don’t have a lot of my own belonging here because I live too far to bring everything!)

I also created faked blood for the scene where Marie’s cuts herself in the shower, red food colouring and brown face paint worked really well consistency wise!

I drew these ideas for makeup (my first time drawing face charts which were really fun!)

And I feel like they served as really good visual guidance, though I did end up changing a few things!

And finally the club, which I also dressed a bit to make it a gay club :) rather a gay commercial club but we shall ignore that.

I made these posters, wrote some warnings about leaving drinks unattended, which though dystopian is realistic… made some felt bi flags and then used some other pride flags Orla had. I scattered cups and shot glasses everywhere and gave all the extras ‘drinks’! They were also instructed to wear pink red or black, to create again this surreal and homogenous group.

Overall I’m really proud of everything I did, I loved making this film and being a part of it!! I hope it’s obvious with all the work I put into it that I really adore this film and all the people working on it :)))
