The reason as to why Ju-on, Ringu/The ring are influences for our trailer in terms of makeup and costume is the fact that it represents how a modern day Yurei ghost is depicted in media today, thus it would be a good basis to analysis what costume and makeup the character wears so that it could be used in our film trailer as well due to the fact that our trailer involves a "Yurei Ghost".

Besides the makeup, in order to recreate the antagonist Yuri to be like a typical Yurei ghost, the costume is quite simple as it usually just includes long black hair (where the character to play Yuri could where a black wig if they don't have long enough hair) and a long plain white dress ( to symbolize purity; where our character Yuri was a quiet bullied victim), which would be transformed to look dirty, to illustrate the ghosts' hardships that the antagonist experiences prior to committing suicide.

Although these videos are to recreate a cracked doll or a simple ghost, some aspects of the video, in terms of the stages to get to the end result can be considered similar to the yurei ghost, such as the darkening of the eyes, where it is deemed as the focal point of the whole makeup, in addition to the pale white skin.

The reason as to why I decided to choose these two as an exemplar for the possessed Mei is due to the fact that the tutorials are rather simple and the tools and makeup can be found around the house. In addition to this the tutorial seemed quite simple to try and replicate, due to the fact that there are not many steps. Moreover, the two tutorials are simple, however they seem to contrast in terms of how dark they are,the first being quite light the second having dark lips, giving me an option of which one to choose, when it is time to start doing the makeup of the character Mei.

The reason as to why I decided to use these tutorials to help me recreate the beat up look was because it was quite an easy process to follow. Also I already had some of the equipment at home such as the makeup palette and brushes. However, the only thing that did not help me was the fact that I had to experiment with colours due to my actors being Black and not Caucasian.
