From using the Youtube video as a demonstrable template of the torture scene, we proceeded to recreate our own denailing footage to add to our trailer.
We started by painting PVA glue to the victims original finger nail and dabbing cotton wool onto the surface to create texture to the supposed nail bed.
Next we added a mixture of red lipstick and darked coloured ink and acrylic paint to the nail, adding darker colours around the cuticle, to emphasise the blood around the nail. We used ink to give the nail a 'wet look' rather than matt finish, to further emulate a look of fresh blood.
After the nail was original nail was completed, we set up the appropriate mise en scene of the hand being tied down to a wooden device with the victims hands being also covered with fake blood (red ink) and mud, therefore showing that the victim had been struggling prior to the torture scene taking place.
Finally we placed the fake nail on top of the red surface ( the nail had been cut roughly to size) and started filming, using a pair of old plyers to remove the fake nail from the real nail, emulating the torture scene whilst causing no pain to the victim.
Once we had filmed our scene, we proceeded to upload it onto the Mac and incorporated it into our trailer, editing the brightness and contrast of the moving image and thus darkening the subject so that it connoted further to the codes and conventions of a Horror film with dim lit lighting.
Our scene was complete and answered the criteria suggested by our audiences: A torture scene with a high element of gore, fully complying to the codes and conventions of the Horror genre.
