Costume Research

In the opening of our film, Kate whom is playing the leading role of our main character Evie, is seen in bed. Due to this aspect, she needs to be costumed in pjs and comfortable clothes. I have done research as to what looks natural but still professional for costume, hair and makeup. Here shows two young women in big, baggy and lose clothing - this conveys comfort and makes the audience want to be in bed themsleves. The fact that the shirts are so lose makes it appear as if the shirts could potentially be a boy of love intrest. This would be a good feature to add to our opening as our genre is romance - this would allow our costume to link in with our genre and narrative as Kate has a boyfriend within the lot of the film. Both the models hair are down and ina natural form: this appears more realistic than having completely straight hair as it would look as if it has been styled in a specific way, rather than spontaneously. All of the colours used above are autum/winter related - this too reflects upon the season in which our film opening is set in. Both the models have their skin showing; whether it be the legs, the sleeves rolled up in order to show the arms, or the buttons done loosely in order to show the collar bones. This gives sex appeal and would target the male auidence well and would make them want to watch it. Both model's make-up is very natural and the pair looks naturally beautiful. I will use this informaiton to help myself and others in my group come up with the overall look for a female character's first costume.
