Yes Movie Magic,
Usually the first thing that comes to mind is the Makeup you see, the special effects.
But I being the person I am came to another understanding while watching John Carter.
Movie Magic is another facet of a character's personality. Take the makeup seen on John Carter - the markings seen lends to tribe markings. A mixture of the Woad of the Celts and the salt etchings of Africa.
The combination of the two leads you to think of something primitive and yet... the culture itself is somehow more advanced.
Make-up the Magic of Hollywood?
It things like Theatre productions and musicals makeup helps project a characters feelings and sometimes it even helps it come across better.
Naturally this led me to what else makeup can convey.
You can even see in your everyday life.
The extra flick of winged liner going up can make you appear more flirty, or going down more tired.
Darker, angular eyebrows can make you appear more angry.
Purple and brown eyeshadow under the eye - more tired
And a tint on your cheeks - warmer.
Makeup = Magic
And movies - just wouldn't be the same without it.
