Preparing for Scene 6

In scene 6, the protagonist is seen tied to a chair getting beaten up by 3 gang members. I want this scene to be very gritty in order to reflect the song's genre. In order to do this, I will need to prepare the equipment:

Props

In this scene I would like to follow the conventions of a torture scene shown ion many movies (Kick-Ass, Reservoir Dogs, Casino Royale)

As you can see all these scenes are shot in low lighting, in ran down locations. I am going to use the idea from Reservoir Dogs to use my garage, as that also has chains and flickery lights (seen in Casino Royal) which provides a very gritty environment:

Like in Kick-Ass I am also going to include my own lights which will be set up behind the protagonist. I also want two thugs standing with the protagonist.

I would like the men behind the protagonists to be wearing balaclava's and the man with the baseball bat to show his face, this is because I want the audience to recognize the character.

As a torture weapon, I want to be as iconic as possible so I will use a baseball or cricket bat.

The key for making for making a successful torture scene is the make-up so the wounds look realistic. Here are some video's I have used in order to prepare for re-creating bruises and cuts.






In these video's the experts say bruising is the easiest thing to replicate so that will be most of the wounds my protagonist will have. However I would like to include the odd blood drip which I have included in my animation. To recreate my bruising, I will be using various brushes, make up and face paint.

Here are some few trials I have made:

 Another thing I have noticed for the torture scenes is that when the protagonist is hit, he occasionally spits a liquid out of his mouth that appears to be blood. I will also be creating a drink that gives the same effect.
