4. STACEY GREENE (COSTUME)
Stacey appears in one scene during my trailer and once in the montage of shots at the end of the
trailer. The costume that I have chosen her to wear during the scene where Stacey is introduced
and has a speaking part, is fairly low-key and not too flash. I chose the top because there is no
sign of it being very expensive and the mood of my film is fairly dark and sinister with glimmers of
light and romance, for this reason the dark nature of the top suits the mood of the scene. When it
comes to the jeans, they are very mundane as everyone owns a pair of blue faded jeans, this also
adds to the casual outfit of Stacey. Finally, the uggs will be worn to show the comfort of Stacey in
her own home as her evening is interrupted by a surprise visit from her ex, Luke Ryan.
