Costume Choices

When creating a film, the costume choices are very important because they can tell you a lot about the type of film it is. They also can indicate what sort of person the character is. This is important because in a film usually the characters do not tell the viewers what sort of person they are. Therefore, the costume choice is important because it means the audience can make a good assumption as to who and what sort of person the character is.

In the opening two minutes of our movie, there will only be one character. This character is a teenage girl who has woken up in a road and cannot find any people. Also, the opening of the film is going to be the girl dreaming so we are going to try and create this sort of feeling. In the rest of our film, there will be more characters of a similar age and would be parents of the teenagers also. Our film is going to be set in modern times and therefore all characters will have costumes that are fairly modern.

In the opening two minutes, Nancy who is our main character will be dressed in modern teenage clothes during the dream section. We have chosen for her to wear modern clothes because we want it to seem like she is a normal teenager. She will have her hair tied up and will be wearing some make-up.  We are going to have her wearing a flowery modern vest top. Over this she will have a black and cream cardigen because some of our scenes will be done outside. She is also going to be wearing fashionable blue jeggings and black flat shoes.

At the end of our two minutes, she is going to wake up in bed therefore her costume will be different. She will have her hair down and it will be messy to show that she has been asleep. We will also have her make up smudged to indicate she was asleep and had been dreaming. Her outfit will simply be some night clothes. She will be wearing a plain black vest top and cream pyjama trousers. She will also have a white dressing gown on.
