Understanding Continuity

It is important to understand the use of continuity for hair and make-up artists, this is because when working in TV, Film or Theatre it can take about 2 days or longer to shoot just once scene. So therefore all the actresses and actors will need their hair and make-up redone each time, so it is vital that each time the look is redone it looks exactly the same. Otherwise when the audience are watching they will be able to see all the mistakes, for example, it could be that the hair isn't positioned in the same place as before or the eye make-up is darker than before. Hair and make-up artists can make it easier for themselves by taking photographs, using face charts and having a list of products used. This way if they forget then they can always refresh their memory by looking at these.

For my Miss Havisham continuity assessment, I had a design template in order to recreate my hair design . After my first continuity assessment in order to make it easier to recreate my Miss Havisham hair design I labelled my sketch and updated my step by step tutorial in order to get the design as similar to the original as I could. I also used photographs from my previous design as a guideline.
For my Miss Havisham make-up for the continuity  assessment, I created a face chart with the list of products to use down the left hand side so this way I couldn't forget anything I had used.
