Maintaining make-up and hair continuity during productions involves ensuring consistency of the appearance of performers' make-up and hair from one take to the next. Continuity is essential to ensure smooth transitions between shots and/or scenes, thus facilitating post-production editing.
The process of continuity involves tracking details of each shooting session, knowing that many scenes are shot out of sequence. Accuracy in continuity is crucial in preventing costly retakes or revisions after the production phase has been completed.
Maintaining hair and make-up continuity is usually the responsibility of make-up artists who work closely with continuity or script supervisors. The role of these people is to maintain continuity across all areas of productions.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to provide continuity services for make-up and hair in the screen, media and entertainment industries.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
