I chose the Skeleton mask to emphasise the horror within the piece, a strong part of the Gothic genre. Even through the mask was plastic, it gives a reflective, metallic effect which gave a great effect on camera making it look more frightening.
I wanted the other mask to also have this metallic effect, so after painting it we sprayed it in glitter.
However when it came to filming we discovered that if we filmed for a long period of time, the condensation on the plastic would make the glitter run, so we made sure that we filmed in small sections and regularly dried the mask to keep it from affecting the actors performance.
