378 AMATEUR MOVIE MAKING
the amateur film will be. In many cases; all that will be necessary will be a mere touch of powder to prevent any shining noses.
Remember that red photographs dark, so if you must use a lip stick get the lightest shade you can find, but do not, ever, rouge the cheeks. The writer recently saw a feature picture produced by one of the largest and best known producing companies, in which the star had rouged cheeks. It was very annoying, for one felt that she had inadverentently rubbed up against a coal scuttle !

The finest character roles are a result of the actor's ability to merge his personality with that of the character rather than as a result of artistically applied wax and grease. The make-up accessories are simple. Crepe hair for beards, brows and so forth ; nose putty for building bumps, large noses or other protuberances which are not natural to the actor; black wax to simulate lost teeth; enamel to cover a gold tooth which might go black (this is also used in straight make-up as gold teeth are most repulsive upon the screen ) wigs, false whiskers, spirit gum and an assortment of grease paint. If you wish to make-up for a character part, secure a photograph of a type which you wish to represent and then line for line, feature for feature copy this face upon your own, using the putty to build up, dark paint to create hollows, and so forth. For repulsive roles artificial tusk-like teeth, "blind" eyes and similar devices may be secured from costumers and novelty shops.

In the chapters on lighting the proper setting for illumination has been discussed as well as certain other phases of lighting. Remember that the light serves (a) to give the necessary illumination to make photography possible (b) to give depth
