Old Age Looks
Our face changes constantly over the course of our lives - how can this effect be created in a targeted manner? This is exactly what you will deal with in the Old Age Looks course.
First, you will look at the natural ageing process and analyze typical features such as fine and deep wrinkles, loss of volume, a change in skin structure, pigmentation spots and sunken areas. You will learn where ageing becomes visible and how these changes can be reproduced with make-up - whether subtly or clearly - and how to work with bald caps: you will practise applying, applying and blending them cleanly so that the transition looks natural and the head shape appears realistic.
Building on this, you will learn to differentiate between a realistic old-age look for photo & film and a theatrical, highly visible look for stage and distance. You will learn how strong lines need to be set, how shadows change the look of the face and how color changes the effect.
In practice, you will implement the techniques step by step and develop a feel for nuances: When does a wrinkle look believable? Where does a shadow look convincing? How does a face age without appearing "mask-like"? The aim is to gain confidence in the use of ageing techniques - precise, controlled and appropriate to the area of application.
