Costume Replan - Sketch

After deciding that the script needed changing, in order to make the film more exciting, and interesting for the audience, I have decided to change the costume design for the protagonist. I believe that the costume design featured earlier on the actress, isn't appropriate fr the winter weather, or her personality. Although I want to portray the characters fiery personality through her costume design, it has to be appropriate for the weather, as it is imperative that the film is as realistic as possible. Therefore, I re-sketched the design, to how it should be for the winter weather, but to also reflect her personality, and make her stand out.

Here is the sketch which I have redeveloped:

The new costume design consists of:

• Woolen Red/Orange Jumper - The colour red connotes danger, suggesting that the character has an active roll in the drama of the film, but also represents fire, reflecting her heated emotions, and showing the she is perhaps not as innocent as she appears.


• Burgundy Velvet Dress - This should be preferably long sleeved to reserve heat for filming in, particularly in outdoor scenes, but also should be a maxi dress, so that barely any flesh is showing on the character. This represents that she is a reserved person, perhaps trying to hide herself through the clothes which she wears. Furthermore the velvet is a rare fabric, and not worn very often in the present day, therefore is also presents her unusual eccentric style.


• Pink Ballet Shoes - These are both practical and comfortable, but also suitable to match the outfit. The pastel colours presented through her costume show how she is an innocent girl, with a kind heart, and the red represents her anger from her oppression from the world. The shoes are also suitable for outdoor activity in for walking in.

Overall, I am happy with the redesign of the costume, and I feel that it will be more appropriate for the certification of the film, the target audience, and effective in representing the characters emotions.
