Research on Real Burn Victims/TV SFX Burns

This man's burn is on just the one side of his face, his eye doesn't seem to be effected. This burn does not seem as bad, but if you look closely on his lips and chin that looks to be the worst part. The colour's I can see are yellow, red, blue, black and orange. Not quite sure if the Blue and Yellow next to his lip are incorporated with the burn. This burn looks very smooth, but slightly bumpy on his lips and chin,

The biggest burn is situated on the side of her face close to her eye. If you look closely the burn hasn't damaged her eye, just the eyelid looks to be effected. There is a lot of reds, burgundy's and a little bit of yellow and orange on her forehead. This burn looks very smooth, it doesn't look particularly bumpy. 

As part of individual research I decided to research actual burns, I found this actually quite difficult because one they them images of saw were very upsetting and a lot of the images on the internet are the burns healed but scarred, so it took me quite a while to find these images. The images I've chosen relate as they are all pretty much on the side of the face, which is wear my Miss Havisham burn is going to be.

In all these images you can definitely see there is a lot of redness, I'm presuming these burns are pretty fresh as well. In these burns there are a lot of colours visible particularly the second image near the mans lips there is yellow but this could be to do with the way he was burnt.


TV SFX Burns

Breaking Bad 

This is Gus Fring from Breaking Bad, unfortunately in Season 4 he's killed off in an explosion which is set as a trap to get rid of him created by his enemy.

I've been slightly obsessed with watching this TV series and I've finally found a reason to be obsessed with..... because of all the AMAZING SFX that is shown throughout this series. This relates to my assessment as SFX burn is only on half of the face, obviously the difference in how the supposed burn was created as Miss Havisham by accidentally set herself on fire where as Gus didn't have a choice.
However I really liked the fact he losses an eye, I found a YouTube below on how I could recreate this gross look.
