'Bruises' - Finished film, screen grabs.

I was able to track down the Head of Sound, Olly, with the edited version of the film, 'Bruises' that I had worked on previously. I was able to view a sped up, silent version and request screen grabs wherever I felt that my make-up was showcased. These came out reasonably well although I was quite disappointed with how the bruise had shown up on screen. Despite liaising with the lighting department and director of photography on the day of filming to ensure that the bruise was shown in the best light, I did not feel that it had been done justice in the finished product. This is a lesson that I will take with me onto future shoots; to request to look through the actual camera lens to decide for yourself if the make-up is going to work on screen.
The other issue that I encountered appeared to be with crediting. As I had suffered with a few bad experiences in the past where producers had failed to credit me in the final film, I requested to see the credits rolling in the silent edit. It was a good thing that I thought to ask as I soon realised that I had in fact been credited as; 'Hair and Make-up by EMILY Barker'. Olly was quite shocked and embarrassed and ensured me that if I spoke with the director, Jamie, he would be able to sort out the mistake as soon as possible. This experience has re-enforced my need to double check credits before the film is finalised, and also possibly to consider drawing up a contract for larger scale projects to ensure that these sort of mistakes will not happen.

Here are the final screen grabs:
