Planning - Costumes and Props

The characters in our film need to be appropriately dressed so we intended to fit particular clothes for each character. There are 3 characters which appear in our film opening (Tyler, Elizabeth and One of Elizabeth's father's henchman).

Elizabeth - Due to Elizabeth being upper class and quite wealthy, we decided to giver her nice clothing as that fits her person. We had intended for Elizabeth to be wearing just a white silk material top as well as black leggings, however due to the cold weather it was necessary that our actor Lucy needed to wear a coat, not to get too cold. The character of Elizabeth also wore a watch, which also links to her character being wealthy and the nice looking watch represents her class in society. Especially in contrast to Tyler's character.

Tyler - Because Tyler is a lower class boy with little money to his name, he was to wear country style clothing which is also cheap. We fitted our actor Zak with an old cap as well as him wearing blue tatty jeans and a checkered shirt over a vest. We believe that this represented him as being the character we intended him to be - a poor country boy.

Father's Henchman (Bernard) - This man is working for a wealthy man therefore he is going to look also upper class and formal. Therefore I intended to wear all black, including a formal black coat, dark black jeans and black smart shoes as well ass a black scarf. This was also intended to represent myself as being dark and that suggests that I am almost the enemy to Tyler and Elizabeth. However due to unfortunate circumstances I was unable to wear the dark black smart shoes, which seemed to have caused a bit of confusion for this character, however we hoped that his character was still relatively clear and that his intentions in the film were clear.

Group roles

Barney Flood - For this post, my role was to summarise our groups ideas of what the characters will look like and why they might look like this. From my initial ideas of the characters, we then discussed and expressed each ones opinion. Once, as a group, we had decided on costumes for our characters, I then typed up each of the three character's outfits above.

Elijah Potter - Since Barney was responsible for the film idea, we had to go according to the way he had interpreted the characters the look like. Going by this, I was responsible for deciding which clothing would work for each character. However, due to the weather being considerably cold, we had to cut back on our original clothing.

Zachary Jakubowski - For this task I was at Barneys aid to just jog his memory if he ever got stuck in the plot of the film or if he forgot what the characters had to wear, other than this it was Barneys post.
