Costume, Hair and Make-up Emily and Ellie

    COSTUME

  • We have decided due to our characters mood they are driven to having suicidal thoughts and attempts to commit suicide, this suggests the character isn't thinking straight, You wouldn't find them dressed formally suited or dressing to impress anyone nor caring about his appearence. 
  • She is also more than likely going to be wearing dull colours such as black, grey and dark blue. These colours have negative connotations such as depression, darkness, secrets and loneliness.
  • We have thought about this and taken this into consideration to plan the characters costume. As costume helps with mise en scene we need to plan carefully so the costume doesn't contradict the emotions and feelings the character is experiencing.
  • The type of costume we would put our character in would be everyday clothes that look like they have been worn a lot to suggest his appearance is the last thing on his mind.
  • We chose to put the character in all black because black isn't an exciting colour and has no positive connotations.  


HAIR
  • To match the costume we have decided to have scruffy/messy hair. 
  • We have decided this to suggest again she isn't thinking about his appearance because of other thoughts.
  • This will make the character look unkempt and ill.


MAKE-UP

Applying Make-Up

  • We decided to have our characters make up naturalistic. 
  • To match our story and plot we put a scar on the side of the characters face to suggest she has been through pain and trauma. 
  • We used felt tip lip pen, lip gloss and black eyeliner.
  • We did this to create enigma- because the target audience are unaware why the girl has her scar, we have done this so the audience are thinking looking for answers throughout the sequence.  



Between the group finishing the story board and filming we had to change our character from a male to a female. This is because it was hard to find an actor who was free when we were. This is why our storyboard it drawn as a male and in our opening it is a female.

  1. OK - there are some useful justifications here, but you keep referring to her as 'him' for some reason?! You need to change this. Can you read it again and improve precision please - for example - on your last point - what kind of a 'mood'? This needs careful and precise discussion (as does every point) to connect to the conventions of the genre. Show that you understand that you are working within the conventions of the thriller genre, and how you intend to extend those conventions or be interesting.
