American horror story is by far my favourite tv series I have ever watched. Season 2 was my favourite and was part of the reason why i chose to study make up and hair at solent university. Each season of AHS has a different timeline and a storyline with the same actors which is so interesting because we get used to the characters being normal people living in a haunted house to them changing into magic with powers just by the use of make up and prosthetics. American Horror Story made me realise how much of an importance make up has in TV and Film because not only does it have to make the audience engage it also has to make the actors believe to make them show their best ability of acting.
MAKE UP CHANGES in AMERICAN HORROR STORY
Season 1 was set in a haunted house where a family buys into it and experiences supernatural things which end in a lot of murder and weirdness. Although the plot isn't normal in season 1 the design of the make up, hair and costumes are very real which was a smart way to draw people in as starting of with different could fail to make people engage.
Season 2 Asylum - Season 2 was my favourite because of all the use of prostethics, the characters got weirder than season 1 and it was show through their appearance. One of my favourite characters is Pepper. To create Pepper each time the make up artists spent 3 hours transforming Naomi Gross.
There was also a lot of use of limbs and body parts.
Season 3 coven is about witches and magic. It was not my favourite season as I found it dull, they used the same costumes and same set almost in every episode with just black.
