Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Make-up is an indispensable and important component of film images and narratives, and it is also one of the most important criteria for judging the quality of a film, which is important for the unity and harmony of the images and the promotion of the storyline as well as the portrayal of the characters. This study examines the make-up of the character of Lawen in the film “Sheep Without a Shepherd” and analyses some of the ways in which Lawen is styled in the film. Through a combination of literature review and case study, this paper examines the costume and make-up of Lawen, and finds that reasonable costume and make-up have a favourable effect on establishing a three-dimensional character image in the film.
