Costume
- 1. COSTUME I think the easiest way to showing the ‘passing of time’ (and therefore the progression of Henry’s dementia) would be to go through the seasons. Scene 1,2,3 are set in the present day (winter) so Gen and Emily can wear winter coats, gloves etc. However in scene 4 the narrative jumps back to ‘the start’ of Henry’s dementia journey, so there needs to be a significant costume change. I was thinking perhaps t shirts/summer clothes (these scenes are all inside!!) for Gen and Emily. For Emily in scene 4, we need to try and make it look like she is slightly younger (maybe a different hairstyle). Then with Emily in the rest of the scenes, changes can be made and eventually by the conservatory scene it’ll be Autumn/Winter so jumpers/warmer clothes can be worn again for Emily, Gen and Henry. For Emily, in some of the scenes the narrative flicks between past and present during the scene, (off the top of my head this happens in the kitchen and the living room) so I will sort this out too and we can plan to film all the shots in one outfit at once and then the other ones after so you’re not having to change clothes every two seconds! For Henry, the changes won’t be as drastic. I was thinking that he could maybe wear a shirt with a jumper/cardigan over the top, and in scene changes Henry can just put on a different jumper over the top of the same shirt. (if you’ve got some John, if not then it will have to be different tops/shirts) For the bathroom scene for Henry, I was thinking maybe a dressing gown/pyjamas as Henry is looking confused in the bathroom and struggling remembering how to brush his teeth/his hands are shaky etc. In fact you could just put a dressing gown on over the clothes from the previous scene if you want to as I don’t think there’s any shots wider than a mid shot for that scene. For Emily in scene 4, she’ll just be wearing clothes suited to whatever season we’re up to by then. No pyjamas!
