Working as a makeup trainee

MAN:

Hello and welcome to the Filmmaking Podcast.

...:

In this week's episode, Claire Lamar talks to us about how to

...:

become a make-up artist.

...:

Claire has been working as a make-up artist in the film

...:

industry for over 20 years and has lots of useful advice about

...:

how to get started.

WOMEN:

Thanks, Ian.

...:

Well, before you can become a make-up artist on films, you

...:

have to spend about two years working as a make-up trainee.

...:

A good place to get your first job would be on a

...:

low budget short film.

...:

Of course, this means that you'll be working for free, but it's

...:

often worth it for the experience.

...:

Make sure your transport costs are covered and remember, there's very unlikely

...:

to be any catering provided, so bring plenty of food.

...:

If you're lucky, you might start out on a big budget film

...:

where you'll get the most useful experience.

...:

On productions like this, make-up and hairstyling are separate departments, so

...:

you won't need to bring your curling tongs, but you're likely to

...:

get the opportunity to work with a range of age groups as

...:

well as different ethnicities.

...:

Doing make-up for special effects is highly specialized, so don't expect

...:

to be offered any practical experience in that.

...:

One problem with working in the make-up department is that it's

...:

a high-pressure environment.

...:

There are very few times when you'll be bored or have nothing

...:

to do.

...:

It can be stressful, but you'll see that the top make-up

...:

artists are very professional, even when they're having to work with directors

...:

who are impatient or unhappy with the make-up artists' work.

...:

Follow your supervisor's lead and try to remain calm at all times.

...:

I've worked with many very famous actors over the years.

...:

At first, I found it overwhelming and could hardly speak.

...:

I was so in awe.

...:

That's preferable, by the way, to becoming too excited and asking for

...:

selfies.

...:

Now, meeting the talent is just a normal part of the job,

...:

and to be honest, most actors don't look that special without all

...:

the make-up.

...:

Every make-up trainee will need a make-up kit, which they'll

...:

be expected to have with them at all times.

...:

Just the essentials will do for the kinds of tasks you'll be

...:

given.

...:

It won't be anything complicated.

...:

It's worth looking at what the other make-up artists have in

...:

their kits, but whatever you do, don't borrow anything without asking first.

...:

It's very important to build your portfolio.

...:

You should take photos of all the work you do and, ideally,

...:

show the different stages of make-up application if you can.

...:

But remember, you'll need to get approval from the make-up designer

...:

in charge of the department.

...:

As you'll be sending your portfolio digitally, you won't need to get

...:

photos printed.

...:

Before you hear the rest of the podcast, you have some time

...:

to look at questions 17 to 20.

...:

Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.

...:

So what does a make-up trainee actually do?

...:

You need to think about whether you're the right kind of person

...:

to do the job and whether you'd enjoy it.

...:

So, to give you some idea, here are some of the things

...:

you might be required to do.

...:

You may be asked to help prep an actor ready for make

...:

-up.

...:

Some actors will arrive having already cleansed and moisturized their skin.

...:

But sometimes you'll need to step in and get this done without

...:

wasting any time.

...:

Otherwise, the make-up artist will get behind schedule.

...:

Trainees play a useful role in continuity.

...:

It will be your responsibility to take photos, log them digitally, and

...:

print out a hard copy to put in each actor's file.

...:

This information needs to be kept in good order as a reshoot

...:

can mean replicating make-up months later.

...:

General duties mean doing anything from getting the teas and coffees to

...:

putting on a wash.

...:

Having a positive attitude and being willing to do whatever is asked

...:

of you will help you get your next film job.

...:

You won't be asked to apply make-up to any of the

...:

principal cast, only the extras.

...:

If there are dozens of extras involved, you'll need to keep up

...:

a swift pace and not spend too long on each person.

...:

It takes quite a lot of confidence to be able to do

...:

this well.

...:

Okay, now about terms and conditions...

...:

That is the end of part two.

...:

You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

Giải thích chi tiết

❓Câu hỏi: What should trainees always expect to get when working on low budget short films?

✅ Đáp án đúng: A. travel expenses

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: Đoạn Claire nói về nơi phù hợp để có công việc đầu tiên: “A good place to get your first job would be on a low budget short film.”

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

Đọc câu hỏi, xác định từ khóa cần nghe: always expect to get, low budget short films.
Trong audio, sau khi nhắc đến low budget short film, Claire nói rõ: “you’ll be working for free” → nghĩa là không có lương.
Sau đó cô ấy dặn: “Make sure your transport costs are covered” → tức là khoản người làm trainee nên luôn yêu cầu/phải được chi trả là chi phí đi lại.
Claire cũng nói “there’s very unlikely to be any catering provided” → nghĩa là thường sẽ không có đồ ăn.
Vì vậy, thứ trainees nên mong đợi nhận được là travel expenses → chọn A.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ B. a minimum wage => Audio nói rõ “you’ll be working for free”, nên không có lương tối thiểu. ❌ C. meals => Claire nói “there’s very unlikely to be any catering provided”, tức là rất có thể không có bữa ăn, nên đây là bẫy dễ nhầm.
