Costumes

The group as a whole got together and discussed the mise en scene that we felt was necessary within the film. One of the items of mise en scene that we discussed was costumes. We talked about each different character as an individual and talked through any ideas that we had about what we felt they should be wearing and its significance to the scene and film as a whole. From doing this we all put forward our ideas and managed to compose a list of costumes for each character.

We decided that the female character, the protagonist should wear light and if possible white clothing in order to highlight her innocence and ensure that she stands out in comparison to the rest of the characters. We decided that the antagonist should wear dark clothing and ensure that the majority of their body is covered in order to hide their identity, to create mystery within the piece. We also decided that they should wear dark clothing in order to show the darkness and evilness of the antagonist.

From these ideas the group was able to create a costume list and organise the costumes for when we actually film the piece, we will then be able to film as efficiently as possible as we have already thought out what we feel the actors should be wearing and can have everything prepared.

I searched for and got hold of some forensic suits in order to create a realistic forensic investigation. I then took some photos in order to document this and improve our planning.
