Costume Design!


   Okay soooo I'm back!! We did a visual analysis practice in class and I wanted to come on here and highlight some of the specifics of the mis-en-scene. I know I was going to rewrite the script and add a storyboard, but I'm gonna leave that to the other blogs after I include some important information to note about these characters.

COSTUMES

Natalie:
INT. Bright Room- Yellow/Orange- These colors are intended to evoke the emotion of innovation, and optimism, when the character is alone in a spotlight hard at work.

INT. School Carpool (inside car)-Purple/Grey- Evoke emotions of creativity and innovation yet also displaying some restraint... she may have a hair clip. 

Natalie:

AUNT LUCY: Blue blouse (brown cardigan acceptable) Represents wisdom and peacefulness, yet she is still assertive. Aunt Lucy will only be present for that one flashback, but I want it to be noted 




INT. School- School clothes; (YOUNG NATALIE) attire, and classmates; the kid in the carpool scene will also be dressed in preppy clothing


SCENE 2

NATALIE: White once again, to revert to the characters purity in the school flashback, and how her passions for art are unchanged. She is working hard on making a good impression on others but forgets to be true to herself, she is trying to reinvent herself even though she has always known who she was. 


ANDY: Green sweater--growth; Andy will be an important character to the story, so it's important that he gives the audience a good impression. I think I'd be pretty flexible with the clothing for this character, but I don't want it to be very sporty or neon but more down to earth.



TEACHER: Red that represents aggression, makeup with eyeliner slightly under the eyes

The teacher is a figure in Natalie's life that chips her off her path, so there needs to be a contrast between the two besides the age gap.

The reason I wanted to focus on costumes to bring out each of the character's personalities, and I also wanted to ensure that they would really pop on camera and be distinguished.
