Transformation: 100 words

 The transformation was inspired by bollywood actresses, with a horrific twist.The right side of Saira's face shows a glamorous, golden, dramatic look which I used various types of make up to achieve.I used gems and fake eyelashes to add to the effect of the glamour. On the other side, I used liquid latex to create the texture of wounded skin on her cheek. With this, I also used tissue and wool to create the actual wound. In the centre of the wound I used fake blood to complete the transformation - this made the whole thing look more realistic as the face paints I used looks more like bruises.

Sound task feedback LR

Sounds Task: LR "Superb audience reaction-immediately gets a response which is a great sign. I'm not sure how contrapuntal the images/videos at the start are... perhaps because it is so well edited in time with the music? Because of this, there wasn't a dramatic shift between the two elements which I always look for with this task. Clear thought behind this in terms of audience effect + gratifications... this was made to entertain!" Class WWW: "Music goes entirely contrapuntal with the ballerina clip, while some of the clips are parallel to the 'Murder she wrote.'"song.

"The comedic effect of the first half worked perfectly. The play of the words of the music "Murder She Wrote" and showing the image of the show and the other images made it solid. The seco

Reviews and features Read the following reviews and features on  Deutschland 83 : The Guardian - Your next box set: Deutschland 83 Daily Telegraph review The Guardian - Deutschland 83 Pity the Germans don't like it 1) What positive aspects of  Deutschland 83  are highlighted in the reviews? The period drama included a  lot of 80's culture that was very well received by the British viewers. For exampl, the music was very nostalgic, the costumes and the props (the walkman). 2) What criticisms are made of the show? ' By focusing the story around Martin Rauch, a young East German border guard going undercover in the west, it doesn’t just make the viewer empathise with a Stasi agent on a human level – in the way The Lives of Others did – it makes us engage with the socialist regime’s worldview, in which a military exercise in West Germany poses a potentially   existential threat . Yet as if to make up for such a radical premise, it then backtracks into stereotype. Stasi offi
