Emaciation
1. Abnormal
thinness caused by lack of nutrition
or by disease.
2. The process of emaciating.
Emaciation can happen for a number of reasons, some of these
include having eating disorders, being unable to afford or have access to a
sufficient food source, or having an
illness or disease that can affect how many calories are consumed and
burned off.
In TV and Film Emaciation can be a very heart wrenching,
shocking effect. In the film Dallas Buyers Club uses severe weight loss to show
the effect of HIV. While in the Hit TV show Band of Brothers life-threating weight
loss is used to show how neglected and famished the victims of concentration camps
where.
The effect is also used a lot to show how much time has
passed. When watching someone suffering from the process of emaciation on the
big screen can be really effective, but how do they do it? Firstly casting for
the role is very important, measurements will be included in the advert and
taller people are preferred as this can give a better illusion. Contouring the
face and body and the actor will be dressed in cloths that are to big giving
the impression that the character has lost a significant amount of weight.
Another important tool is the way the scene is shoot clever camera angles and
colours really brings the effect to life.
