Costume Ideas

After finalizing our character profiles I am not going to look at costumes. Costumes are a vital part of media productions, as they play a key role in the presentation of characters and the representation of their personalities. We have several key character in our film who all have individual character traits and these can be portrayed to the audience through costumes.

Character 1 - Ruby Fox

Ruby is an adventurous girl, she has an outrageous style in order to portray her unique and individual personality. However she remains a quiet girl in and around school due to the fact that she is bullied.

As Ruby's style is outrageous and unique I feel that she would wear very simple clothes, but in bright bold colours, and accessorised with scarfs, jewellery and other features that will portray her flare.

I have chosen several pieces to construct an outfit for Ruby Fox, I feel that the blue dress combined with black tights and blue boots is a simple yet effective design, the style is slightly outrageous and is something I could imagine Ruby wearing, also the pale colours help to portray Ruby's quiet and innocent character. The pastel colours show Ruby as a victim.

Below is the full outfit together, I have also added some bolder accessories that help to portray the more outrageous and bolder side to Ruby's character.

Character 2 - Daniel Cooper

Daniel Cooper is the bully at Ruby's college he also attended Ruby's secondary school and he has been harassing Ruby for the past 5 years. He is arrogant and popular, and is also jealous of Ruby because of her intelligence and dislikes her outrageous flare.

Daniel's costume, I feel should be very simple but also very fashionable. As he is a popular and arrogant student it would make sense for him to follow trends and wear similar clothes to other people in order to fit in. Also as he is arrogant he will flaunt his money by wearing expensive and popular clothes.

Character 3 - Unidentified Girl

This character's personality is never revealed, she plays a vital part in the story but does an have sort of detailed portrayal. Her costume however is extremely significant and represents the entire purpose of her character.

I have selected several items to create an outfit for the unidentified girl, I have kept all of the pieces black as I feel that it portrays the idea that her personality is completely hidden, as there is no colour there is no hint at who she is or what shes like- creating mystery around her character.
