You will hear a woman giving advice on a podcast about how to become a makeup artist in the film industry.

你将听到一位女士在播客中介绍如何成为电影行业的化妆师。

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.

首先,你有一些时间查看第11至第16题。

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.

现在请仔细听,并回答第11至第16题。

MAN: Hello and welcome to the film making podcast. In this week's episode, Claire Lemarre talks to us about how to become a makeup artist. 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.

男士:你好,欢迎收听电影制作播客。本周节目中,克莱尔·勒马尔将与我们聊聊如何成为一名化妆师。克莱尔在电影行业担任化妆师已有20多年,她有很多关于如何入行的实用建议。

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:谢谢你,伊恩。在成为电影化妆师之前,您需要花大约2年时间担任化妆实习生。

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.

获得第一份工作的好地方是低成本短片剧组。当然,这意味着您将无偿工作,但为了积累经验,这通常是值得的。

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

确保交通费用得到报销——记住,几乎不会提供餐饮,所以要多带些食物。

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

如果幸运的话,您可能从大制作电影起步,从中获得最宝贵的经验。

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

在这类制作中,化妆和发型是不同的部门——所以您不需要带卷发棒!

But you're likely to get the opportunity to work with a range of age groups, as well as different ethnicities. Doing makeup for special effects is highly specialised, so don't expect to be offered any practical experience in that.

但您很可能有机会与不同年龄层和不同族裔的演员合作。特效化妆是高度专业化的领域,所以不要期望在这方面获得实践机会。

One problem with working in the makeup department is that it's a high-pressure environment. There are very few times when you'll be bored or have nothing to do.

在化妆部门工作的一个问题是,那是一个高压环境,您几乎不会有无聊或无事可做的时候。

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

这可能很有压力,但您会发现顶尖化妆师非常专业——即使在面对不耐烦或对化妆工作不满意的导演时也是如此。跟随主管的引导,始终保持冷静。

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.

多年来,我与许多非常著名的演员合作过。起初,我感到不知所措,几乎说不出话来,太敬畏了。顺便说一句,这比过于兴奋、要求自拍要好得多。

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,说实话,大多数演员不化妆时并没有那么特别!

Every makeup trainee will need a makeup 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.

每位化妆实习生都需要一个化妆工具包,随时携带。您承担的任务只需要基本工具就够了——不会有什么复杂的东西。

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

看看其他化妆师的工具包里有什么是值得的——但无论如何,未经询问不要借用任何东西。

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 makeup application if you can.

建立作品集非常重要。您应该给所有工作拍照,如果可以的话,最好展示化妆的不同阶段。

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

但记住,您需要获得负责该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.

由于您将以数字方式发送作品集,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.

在你听播客剩余部分之前,你有一些时间查看第17至第20题。

WOMAN: So what does a makeup 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.

女士:那么化妆实习生实际上做什么呢?您需要考虑自己是否适合这份工作,以及是否会享受它。

You may be asked to help prep an actor ready for makeup. Some actors will arrive having already cleansed and moisturized their skin.

您可能会被要求协助演员做好化妆前的准备工作。有些演员到达时已经做好了洁面和保湿。

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

但有时您需要介入并迅速完成这些工作,不能浪费时间,否则化妆师的进度会落后。

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.

实习生在连续性工作中发挥着重要作用。您的职责是拍照、数字化记录,并打印纸质副本放入每位演员的档案中。

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

这些信息需要妥善保存,因为补拍可能意味着数月后需要复制相同的化妆效果。

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.

日常职责包括从端茶送咖啡到洗衣服等各种事情。保持积极的态度,愿意做任何被要求的事,将有助于您获得下一份电影工作。

You won't be asked to apply makeup 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.

您不会被要求给主演化妆,只给临时演员化妆。如果有几十名临时演员,您需要保持快速的节奏,不能在每个人身上花费太长时间。做好这件事需要相当大的自信。

OK now about terms and conditions….

好的,现在来谈谈条款和条件……
