We organised to film scenes 3 and 9 on this day due to a last minute cancellation of one of our actors (Rosie) leaving us with just Layla, to play Evylyn Crick. We decided to still go ahead and film and just get her main scenes done.
Before filming we got her into costume, which was a white gown, and did her hair and make up. We started by dabbing flour onto her face to make her look pale and using black eye make up to darken her eyes and mouth area. We then wet some strands of hair and put them in front in order to hide her face slightly.
During hair and make up, we realised that Layla was wearing some bracelets that could not be removed and so improvised by tying a bandage around her wrist to cover them up. It turned out that we all found this addition highly effective in making her look scary and dangerous. In this last minute decision we also put some tomato ketchup (as we had nothing else to use at the time) onto the bandage to act as blood which we also thought worked well for the character.
