Final Scene Preparation

For the final scene of our music video we want to have a big paint fight between the two characters as a means of showing the unity of the characters as the soldier 'breaks free' and joins peace. Our initial plan was to use powdered paint which is used in the famous Holi festival, due to its powdered state and vivid colour. However, powdered paint was too expensive for us to buy so we discovered that it can be made using corn starch and food colouring, so we watched some You Tube tutorials. However, we soon discovered after making several batches that making the powdered paint was not only time consuming but also not very effective. Our own home made paint did not have the same vibrance or powdery consistency as real powdered paint so we had to think again to what we could use. We then decided that the only other option for us was to use real paint. We bought a four pack of Crayola washable paint so that it can easily be washed away by the rain. This paint cost us £7 so we decided that we should water the paint down for it to go further. We have now mixed the paint and have some plastic cups that we will poor the paint into as this will be the easiest way for us to throw it. Below are some images of the mixed paint and powdered paint which we made. 

Above is the paint mixed with water, ready for us to film the final scene. 

Above is the blue batch of powdered paint in the drying process, this takes 2-3 days and once dry the paint will be solid and cracks will appear. The pain can then be broken up and finely sieved. 

Here is the final product of the pink and orange batch.
