Brushstroke

The appropriately named Sound City Studios at Shepperton opened in 1932 when

‘talkies’ were becoming firmly established. Over the years, the studios have hosted

many of the most memorable and top‐rated feature films in the history of cinema:

Besides his classic Hobson ’s choice (1954) starring Charles Laughton, David Lean

filmed Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and A Passage to India (1984) on its versatile

sound stages. Carol Reed filmed The Third Man (1949) starring Orson Welles, and

much later, directed the award‐winning musical ‘Oliver’ (1968) starring Ron Moody.

It was at Shepperton that the legendary film star, Charles Chaplin, made his second‐

last film; A King in New York (1954). And, continuing the comedy thread, Blake

Edwards filmed the Pink Panther series (1963‐78) starring Peter Sellers, and

practically took over the studio – even painting the studio restaurant entirely pink.

More recently, Shepperton Studios has been home to films such as the

phenomenally successful Harry Potter series (2001‐2011); Notting Hill (1999);

Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001); Bridget Jones ‐ the Edge of Reason (2004); Shakespeare

In Love (1998); and Calendar Girls (2003), where Brushstroke Make‐Up school was

seen as a convincing Hollywood make‐up department.

Brushstroke has been at Shepperton Studios for 23 years of its 81 years existence,

and is always pleased to be of assistance to current productions.

Financial Assistance

Professional and Career Development Loans are commercial bank loans that you can use to help pay

for work‐related learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to

two years of learning ( or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work). The

Government will pay the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards.

You will then need to start repaying the loan as you would any other commercial loan product. You can

use the loan to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You can also use the

loan to supplement other forms of support such as grants or bursaries. As the Professional and Career

Development Loan is a commercial loan product, you should make sure you have investigated all the

funding options that may be open to you to ensure you take an informed decision about whether the

loan is right for you. For further information on financial assistance to support your learning,

YOUR FUTURE AS A

MAKE UP & HAIR ARTIST

The film, television and fashion industry has changed over the years, now make‐up artists

are required to be competent in both modern and period make‐up and hairdressing. That is

why here at Brushstroke we work closely with Film and Television make‐up designers and

fashion make‐ up artists to tailor our courses to industry requirements.

Brushstroke students are highly sought after because of their thorough training in modern

and period make‐ up, hair styling and wig dressing for HDTV and 3D.

Students attend from every corner of the globe and we pride ourselves knowing that they

will take back with them an excellent education with which they can realise their dream

and fulfil their career as a make‐up artist.

On completing our courses students can go on to work in high fashion, film, television,

commercials, music videos, corporate films, theatre and opera.

Our students have also gained valuable experience working on various productions through

our agency, shot in HDTV. (See student’s achievements)

You are welcome to visit our school to meet with lecturers and students. Please telephone

Course Fee: £24,000 inclusive: Deposit £6,000:

Make up Kit & Make up Brushes Included

Additional Costs: BTEC Exam Fee £179.88, Equipment List (Page 58) Photographer This course follows a BTEC syllabus and is aimed at those requiring a much greater and gradual introduction to the art of make‐up and hair artistry. Being one of the longest of our courses assures the in depth training required for those needing a wider duration of subject matter and is designed for dedicated students who have a passionate interest for film, theatre, television and fashion. The fees for this Two Year Course are graded in a similar way to a University course with Brushstroke students receiving 162 hours teaching per year. Whereas, students on some university courses will receive on average of 72 hours of lectures per year. The two year course allows students many practising hours, practical lessons every day as well as covering additional make‐up and hair techniques. (18months training with academically structured term times which makes this course two‐ year duration) Training within a busy film studio for two years can give students the opportunity to build potential contacts and experience what it is like to be within this working environment. Brushstroke has a stock of over 75,000 wigs and hair pieces for students to use whilst training. Throughout the course students will be required to model for each other and work on training heads and wigs. (See enrolment form for medical conditions & allergies) Brushstroke ensures students produce good portfolio evidence and can always view their make‐up and hair on our HDTV camera in our photographic studio with lecturers and also work with a professional photographer. During this time students may have the chance to work with models from professional model agencies, subject to their availability.

We require students to take photographs of their make –up and hair skills for each subject taught, this is in order to produce evidence of all work in preparation for the BTEC assessment at the end of each term.

Brushstroke highly recommends that full notes and photographs are taken during demonstrations, preferably with a digital camera for their personal reference, this is to gain as much evidence as possible. One to one tutorials are held each term and students are assessed in practical assignments, self‐ presentation and attitude The full course syllabus will be covered and Brushstroke reserves the right to alternate terms and lessons, purely for the benefit of the students. Once a month the class will spend half a day carrying out general duties, this is very important and would be expected from any make up team working in the industry. It also keeps a high standard of hygiene and discipline within the classroom. Please note that our terms dates and holiday breaks may not always fall in line with other colleges. Should the course fall on any public holiday, these shall be taken as days off.

Brushstroke average on three work placements a week, past students have acted as ambassadors for our company and have carved solid careers for themselves in many different forms of the media, from broadcast television and film to popular high fashion publications. Depending on personal performance students may be held on our agency books as we are called upon to provide make‐up artists with various levels of experience. (Refer to students achievements)

(15)

Term 4: Advance High Definition Fashion Make‐up and Hair

This term is aimed at perfecting the techniques required to produce High Definition Fashion, photographic and catwalk make‐up and hair rather than concentrating on any one specific look. This is to allow students to maximise their artistic flair yet to keep them within necessary guidelines. This unit of the course also sets out to make the students fully aware of the correlation that exists between clothing, set design seasonal colours and latest fashion aspects will also be explored fully. Trying to be 100% perfect when applying Fashion make‐up is a must, students must learn to take criticism to enable them to learn if they want to succeed and have good portfolio evidence like our tutor who works worldwide for well‐ known fashion houses; the same applies to Commercials and music videos for those who wish to enter that area. Working alongside lecturers and guest professionals such as those from Vogue, Elle and Harpers and Queen, as well as other high fashion publications, builds mutual respect for everyone involved and we feel that this is an important aspect of the complete education. Make up section  Learning how to apply foundations and match translucent powders for different skin types and ethnic groups.  Stylised Make‐up and hair for periods 1920 to present day  Catalogue make up  Classic make ups  Make‐up for Black and White Photography  Cat shape black eyes with glamorous hairstyles, the use of different colours and stylised eye shapes.  Smokey eyes with hair up.  Catwalk make‐ up for all seasons  Working on lips, colour, shading, lip lines, highlighting, balancing and accentuating.  Blending eye colour, different eye shapes and accentuating bone structure.  Working with eyelashes.  Male Make‐up  Tattoos  Fantasy Make‐up  Students learn how to research make‐up for different seasons for what is required in the fashion houses Hair section During the hair section of the course students learn how to dress and style hair to go with the make ups previously taught.  Blow‐drying  Straightening  Tonging  Using heated / Velcro rollers  Styling of hair for periods 1910 to present day  Accentuated styles created by working with Carmen’s, perm rods, tongs etc  Hair for catwalk shows  Learn how to style hair up, for classic looks and for evening and bridal  Afro and candy floss hair  Braiding and plaiting of the hair

(16)

Make‐ up and Hair Combined

When students have reached the level of accomplishing all techniques the Fashion lecturer expects students to be able to produce complete full looks with both make‐up and hair.  Catwalk  Natural  Periods  Photographic  Glamour This section of the course students take all subjects taught and combine hair and make‐up to create full looks for their portfolios. Students are asked to design a look after learning all ‘periods’ for a fashion show, each student will be in supervision of the group and take charge of hair and make up as if it’s a professional show‐taking place. This will give them an insight on how to take charge as an established make up designer in a fashion show or music video. All students can re cap on previous make‐ups taught, and contact sheets to be chosen for those who decided to have portfolios throughout their training. Students are taught the best way on how to approach the industry once they have left the course, and are groomed to become thorough, precise and dedicated fashion make‐up and hair artists, who hopefully feel confident enough to approach fashion houses capable of producing high standard work. We highly recommend students who are studying on the High Fashion Make‐ up and Hair courses have professional photos taken for their portfolios towards the end of the course once all subjects have been covered. Brushstroke will organise a photographer (subject to availability) this is optional and will be of an extra cost of around £250) Students must remember to concentrate throughout these months, take in all that is taught from the lecturer and liaise with the photographer, your final pictures depend strongly on your work, a photographer will not be able to produce excellent work from low to average standards. Past students have proved to produce excellent work and portfolios. Students also cover  Learning what is fashion styling is  Role of the fashion stylist  Working part of a team to create the look  Understanding requirements of a fashion brief from various clients for various markets  History of fashion  Importance of trends and colours  Image appreciation in a fashion context: books, magazine, exhibitions  Understanding gained from set projects, mood boards, discussion and role plays  Students will be taken to exhibitions by the tutor (subject to availability)

Additional Costs: BTEC Exam Fees ‐ Equipment List (Page 58) Photographer This Three Year Course follows an Extended BTEC syllabus and is aimed at those requiring a much greater and gradual introduction to the art of make‐up and hair artistry. Being the longest of our courses assures the in depth training required for those needing a wider duration of subject matter and for dedicated students who have a passionate interest for film, theatre, television, fashion and other production skills. This Third Year is designed to teach students the next step within the make‐up department having learnt all aspects of make‐up and hair artistry during the last two years. The third year concentrates purely on what a make‐up and hair designer is expected to do prior and during a production. The fees for this Three Year Course are graded in a similar way to a University course with Brushstroke students receiving 162 hours teaching per year. Whereas, students on some university courses will receive on average of 72 hours of lectures per year. The three year course allows students many practising hours, practical lessons every day as well as covering additional make‐up and hair techniques. Training within a busy film studio for three years can give students the opportunity to build potential contacts and experience what it is like to be within this working environment. Brushstroke has a stock of over 75,000 wigs and hair pieces for students to use whilst training. Throughout the course students will be required to model for each other, work on training heads and wigs. (See enrolment form for medical conditions & allergies) Brushstroke ensures students produce good portfolio evidence and can always view their make‐up and hair on our HDTV camera in our photographic studio with lecturers and also work with a professional photographer. During this time students may have the chance to work with models from professional model agencies, subject to their availability. We require students to take photographs of their make –up and hair skills for each subject taught, this is in order to produce evidence of all work in preparation for the Extended BTEC assessment at the end of each term. Terms 7, 8 and 9 concentrate on production skills that would be expected from a chief make‐up designer when organising their make‐up department in preparation for filming. Brushstroke highly recommended that full notes and photographs are taken during demonstrations, preferably with a digital camera for their personal reference; this is to gain as much evidence as possible. One to one tutorials are held each term and students are assessed in practical assignments, self‐ presentation and attitude The full course syllabus will be covered and Brushstroke reserves the right to alternate terms and lessons, purely for the benefit of the students. Once a month the class will spend half a day carrying out general duties, this is very important and would be expected from any make up team working in the industry. It also keeps a high standard of hygiene and discipline within the classroom.

Please note that our terms dates and holiday breaks may not always fall in line other colleges. Should the course fall on any public holiday, these shall be taken as days off.

Brushstroke average on three work placements a week, past students have acted as ambassadors for our company and have carved solid careers for themselves in many different forms of the media, from broadcast television and film to popular high fashion publications. Depending on personal performance students may be held on our agency books as we are called upon to provide make‐up artists with various levels of experience. (Refer to students achievements)

This is to allow students to maximise their artistic flair yet to keep them within necessary guidelines. This unit of the course also sets out to make the students fully aware of the correlation that exists between clothing, set design seasonal colours and latest fashion aspects will also be explored fully. Trying to be 100% perfect when applying Fashion make‐up is a must, students must learn to take criticism to enable them to learn if they want to succeed and have good portfolio evidence like our tutor who works worldwide for well‐ known fashion houses; the same applies to Commercials and music videos for those who wish to enter that area. Working alongside lecturers and guest professionals such as those from Vogue, Elle and Harpers and Queen, as well as other high fashion publications, builds mutual respect for everyone involved and we feel that this is an important aspect of the complete education.

Make‐ up and Hair Combined

When students have reached the level of accomplishing all techniques the Fashion lecturer expects students to be able to produce complete full looks with both make‐up and hair.  Catwalk  Natural  Periods  Photographic  Glamour This section of the course students take all subjects taught and combine hair and make‐up to create full looks for their portfolios. Students are asked to design a look after learning all ‘periods’ for a fashion show, each student will be in supervision of the group and take charge of hair and make‐up as if it’s a professional show‐taking place. This will give them an insight on how to take charge as an established make up designer in a fashion show or music video. All students can re cap on previous make‐ups taught, and contact sheets to be chosen for those who decided to have portfolios throughout their training. Students are taught the best way on how to approach the industry once they have left the course, and are groomed to become thorough, precise and dedicated fashion make‐up and hair artists, who hopefully feel confident enough to approach fashion houses capable of producing high standard work. We highly recommend students who are studying on the High Fashion Make‐ up and Hair courses have professional photos taken for their portfolios towards the end of the course once all subjects have been covered. Brushstroke will organise a photographer (subject to availability) this is optional and will be of an extra cost of around £250) Students must remember to concentrate throughout these months, take in all that is taught from the lecturer and liaise with the photographer, your final pictures depend strongly on your work, a photographer will not be able to produce excellent work from low to average standards. Past students have proved to produce excellent work and portfolios. Students also cover  Learning what is fashion styling is  Role of the fashion stylist  Working part of a team to create the look  Understanding requirements of a fashion brief from various clients for various markets  History of fashion  Importance of trends and colours  Image appreciation in a fashion context: books, magazine, exhibitions  Understanding gained from set projects, mood boards, discussion and role plays  Students will be taken to exhibitions by the tutor (subject to availability)
