MAN: Hello and welcome to the film making podcast.

男士：你好，欢迎来到电影制作播客。

In this week's episode, Claire Lemarre talks to us about how to become a makeup artist.

在本周的节目中，克莱尔·莱马雷与我们讨论了如何成为一名化妆师。

Claire's been working as a makeup artist in the film industry for over 20 years and has lots of useful advice about how to get started.

克莱尔在电影行业已经作为化妆师工作了超过20年，并有很多关于如何开始的有用建议。

WOMAN: Thanks Ian. Well, before you can become a makeup artist on films you have to spend about 2 years working as a makeup trainee.

女士：谢谢伊安。嗯，成为电影化妆师之前，你得花大约2年的时间做化妆学徒。

A good place to get your first job would be on a low budget short film.

找第一份工作的不错选择是做低成本的短片。

Of course, this means that you'll be working for free.

当然，这意味着你会免费工作。

But it's often worth it for the experience.

但是，通常来说，这样的经历是值得的。

Make sure your transport costs are covered – and remember, there's very unlikely to be any catering provided, so bring plenty of food.

确保你的交通费用得到覆盖——并且记住，很可能不会有餐饮提供，所以带足够的食物吧。

If you're lucky, you might start out on a big budget film where you'll get the most useful experience.

如果你幸运的话，你可能会开始在一个预算较高的电影项目中工作，这样你会获得最有用的经验。

On productions like this, makeup and hair styling are separate departments – so you won't need to bring your curling tongs!

在这样的制作中，化妆和发型设计是两个不同的部门，所以你不需要带上卷发夹！

But you're likely to get the opportunity to work with a range of age groups, as well as different ethnicities.

但你可能会有机会与不同年龄段的人群以及不同的种族合作。

Doing makeup for special effects is highly specialised, so don't expect to be offered any practical experience in that.

为特效做化妆是非常专业的，所以你不要指望在那能得到任何实际的经验。

One problem with working in the makeup department is that it's a high-pressure environment.

在化妆部门工作的一个问题是，那是一个高压环境。

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

你可能会感到无聊或者无所事事的情况很少。

It can be stressful but you'll see that the top makeup artists are very professional – even when they're having to work with directors who are impatient, or unhappy with the makeup artist's work.

可以让人感到紧张，但你很快就会发现顶级的化妆师非常专业——即使他们不得不与不耐烦或对化妆师工作不满的导演合作。

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

跟着你的主管，尽量保持冷静。

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

我这些年和很多非常著名的演员合作过。

At first, I found it overwhelming and could hardly speak, I was so in awe.

开始时，我感到非常震撼，几乎说不出话来。

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

顺便说一句，不如太激动，不要要求自拍。

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 makeup!

现在，与演员见面只是工作的一部分，坦白说，大多数演员在卸妆后并不特别引人注目！

Every makeup trainee will need a makeup kit, which they'll be expected to have with them at all times.

每个化妆学员都需要一个化妆包，他们需要随身携带，随时可用。

Just the essentials will do for the kinds of tasks you'll be given – it won't be anything complicated.

对于你们将要完成的任务，只需要一些基本的东西就行——不会有什么复杂的东西。

It's worth looking at what the other 98 makeup artists have in their kits – but whatever you do, don't borrow anything without asking first.

值得看看其他98名化妆师的化妆包里有什么——但是无论如何，不要未经询问就借用任何东西。你们需要建立自己的作品集。

It's very important to build your portfolio.

建立作品集非常重要。

You should take photos of all the work you do and ideally show the different stages of makeup application if you can.

你应该拍下所有你做的工作，并尽可能地展示不同阶段的化妆应用。

But remember you'll need to get approval from the makeup designer in charge of the department.

但记住，你需要得到负责部门的化妆设计师的批准。

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

因为你将通过数字方式发送你的作品集，所以你不需要打印照片。

Before you hear the rest of the podcast, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.

在你听这期播客的其余部分之前，你有一些时间查看第17至20题。

Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.

现在请听录音并回答第17至20题。

WOMAN: So what does a makeup trainee actually do?

女士：那么，一个化妆实习生实际上会做什么？

You need to think about whether you're the right kind of person to do the job and whether you'd enjoy it.

你需要考虑是否你是做这份工作的合适人选，以及你是否喜欢它。

So, to give you some idea, here are some of the things you might be required to do.

为了给你一些概念，以下是一些你可能需要完成的任务。

You may be asked to help prep an actor ready for makeup.

你可能需要帮忙准备演员，让他们准备好化妆。

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

一些演员会带着已经清洁和保湿的皮肤到达。

But sometimes you'll need to step in and get this done without wasting any time, otherwise the makeup artist will get behind schedule.

但有时候你得自己动手，不要浪费时间，否则化妆师会赶不上进度。

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.

学员在连贯性方面扮演了有用的角色。你得负责拍照，数码记录，并打印出一份纸质版放在每个演员的档案里。

This information needs to be kept in good order as a reshoot can mean replicating makeup months later.

这些信息需要整理好，因为重拍意味着几个月后还要重新上妆。

General duties mean doing anything from getting the teas and coffees to putting on a wash.

职责包括从准备茶水咖啡到洗衣服等任何事情。

Having a positive attitude and being willing to do whatever is asked of you will help you get your next film job.

保持积极的态度并且愿意去做任何被要求的事情，将会帮助你获得下一部电影的工作。

You won't be asked to apply makeup to any of the principal cast, only the extras.

你不会被要求给任何主要演员上妆，只会给一些临时演员化妆。

If there are dozens of extras involved you'll need to keep up a swift pace and not spend too long on each person.

如果有几十个临时演员，你需要保持快速的节奏，不要在每个人身上花费太多时间。

It takes quite a lot of confidence to be able to do this well.

能够很好地做到这一点需要很大的自信。

OK now about terms and conditions….
