Killer's mask

• In American Horror Story, the masks that the killers wear are often very gruesome and attention grabbing.
•  This reflects on the characters' insanity, as they are not attempting to hide.
• These are very effective, however, our killer needs to hide their identity, and so I feel that their mask would need to be much subtler.

• Another type of mask that is commonly used is a clown mask.  This has been used in both The Dark Knight and Sherlock (BBC).

• These masks are effective as the smile on the clown's face juxtaposes with the violent acts of the villain.
• However, I feel that our killer would need an even subtler mask.

• Also in American Horror Story, one character wears a human like mask, of a 'pretty girl'.
• I feel that this would be effective for our killer, as they are striving to be pretty.

• For our killer's mask, we decided that it should be humanlike, as the killer is striving to be beautiful, rather than to be something else altogether. 
• We also decided to combine a human-like face with the mask the character 'bloodyface' in American Horror Story wears: a mask made from the skin of their victims.
• By having a mask like this, our killer can hide their identity in a way that doesn't draw too much attention, whilst having the facial features that they desire.

•  To make the mask, I first used a few layers of tin foil to create the face shape.
• I then layered on a combination of tissue and liquid latex, to create a skin texture. 

• I then tore eye holes and a mouth into the mask.
• I painted the mask with skin tones to make it appear to be rotting.
• I then stitched into the torn sections.

Overall, I don't feel that the outcome was particularly effective, and a better option would be to use a plain black mask to hide our killer's face.
