The document discusses costume ideas and decisions for a film project with a limited budget. It describes how the team overcame difficulties by coming up with original low-budget ideas, such as using white masks found for a few pounds instead of expensive animal masks. Changes were made, such as using a pillowcase mask initially instead. Costume elements that worked well included styling a character in an old-fashioned long skirt and cardigan to portray living in the past, and maintaining continuity by keeping one character consistently styled throughout the film.

1. Costume Ideas and
Decisions

2. Difficulties
• The biggest difficulty that we faced was that
we had no budget to spend. If we were to
have the money to buy conventionally horror
like costumes then our trailer could have
looked more professional.
How did we overcome this?
We overcome these difficulties by coming up with original
ideas, that we would use with an ultimate budget and then
thinking of how we could make these without a budget.

4. What worked well?
• The costume decisions that worked well was
the styling of Katie. We decided to dress her in
a long skirt and cardigan making her look old,
reminiscent of the village “living in the past”.
• I also feel that we stuck to rules of continuity
with Sam Baker by making sure that Adam
was constantly styled the same. This had to be
portrayed as Baker would not get changed
throughout the film.
