Costumes

 

Main character:

 

 

My main character is wearing a casual 'iron man' cropped t-shirt with plain blue denim skinny jeans. Later into the film she will wear a plain blue coat which is also casual. I chose quite a fashionable outfit which also looks comfortable and casual, I think this is the sort of outfit a usual teenage girl would wear. Wearing a fashionable outfit will hopefully influence my target audience.

I would like my main character to look fashionable but my main focus is so she looks casual, the sort of look that a usual teenage girl would want to look like. I chose her to have her hair up in a pony tail because this looks attractive but is simple and casual. She has left her side fringe down so it isn't all pinned back and this gives a casual look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I chose my main character to have only eye make up because this isn't over the top. My main look for her is casual, so minimalistic makeup shows this. She doesn't have much face make up because I want it to look realistic and like a normal teenager, the dark eyes gives her an attractive main character look and again will hopefully attract my target audience.

Ghost child character:

The character of the ghost child I have chosen to wear a navy blue blouse-like top, which has a white lace collar and white lace cuff around the sleep, the top is quite heavy but puffy as well. I chose a burgundy velvet skirt which is down to her ankles. This outfit I chose looks very old fashioned which is the look I wanted because she is from the past.

The ghost child characters outfit looks very old fashioned because of the velvet material of the skirt, the collar and cuffs and the long skirt, also the blouse top has a tie at the back which is in a bow which looks very smart and old fashioned.

This photo shows the lace pattern which is on the collar and cuffs, this shows the old fashioned style and how neat it looks.

The ghost child character has her hair tied back with her fringe down, Her hair is tightly pulled back to look smart and old fashioned and it is also in two plaits, I chose plaits because she is young and I think this is a hairstyle which shows her childlike appearance.

I also chose her hair to be tightly tied back and hair sprayed to look particularly neat as I think old fashioned hairstyles were very prim and neat. Using hair spray kept it in place and very neat.

I chose her makeup to be done very pale, I chose a very pale powder to be used as this would make her look ghostlike and gives an eerie look when she is straight faced, it also made her skin look flawless and ghostly. The dark eye makeup exaggerates the dead, ghostly look as she looks serious and quite evil.

I used powder face makeup and powder eye makeup because I didn't want the makeup to be to over the top and I wanted it to look as realistic as a ghost could look as I wanted her to look similar to what this child may have looked like before her 'death'.

From this task I have learnt that the costumes look good and are what I wanted for my film, it has shown me what it will look like when it comes together and that I think I have chosen appropriate ideas for costume.
