Character planning

Amy's character is a female who works in a store in town. She is one of the main characters in this horror movie intro, and she has to escape from the demon.
One of the scenes in the intro, you see empty beer cans and wine bottles on the floor, indicating that she had drank too much the night before. Her eyes would be red from the hangover, her neck having injuries on from the dream she had before she woke up (she sustains the injuries she experiences in her dream)


We can make her character look similar to this by applying red eyeshadow to the bottom eyelid to show tiredness, or illness from the hangover. We can also apply a light brown or tinted purple to the curves of her eye socket to make her appearance look run down.

I researched the symptoms of a hangover to make her situation a lot more believable. Symptoms that can be physically shown by theatrical FX and body language is listed below:

• Headache and muscle pain- facial expressions
• Weakness and fatigue- facial expressions
• Nausea and vomiting- pale skin
• Sweating- spray bottle
• Drowsiness- facial expressions
• Sensitivity to light and sound- facial expressions
