The document discusses how costumes can highlight a character's personality and situation, and help audiences understand the setting. It describes how the filmmakers chose simple black clothes for their costumes to balance aesthetics, practicality, and mystery. However, during shooting they found the costumes were not warm enough, which impacted the shoot as it made them rush shots due to the cold. In the future, the filmmakers could improve practicality by making costumes more tolerant of low temperatures.

2.  Costume works to highlight the
personality and situation of the
character. For example, if a
character is a businessman, they
would wear a suit or, if they were a
school child, they would wear a
uniform. It also subconsciously
helps the audience determine a
little more about the setting and
time- i.e. if the piece is set
somewhere very cold, the
characters would wear hats and
scarves.

3.  To organise our costumes, we had
to consider both the aesthetics of
the clothing and its practicality. We
wanted our characters to be well
dressed to show their
professionalism, but we also
needed to be comfortable. We
decided on simple black clothes- as
our bodies would not appear
frequently in the shot but would
still need to be shown- as the
colour would show an air of
mystery.

4.  During the shoot, we found that
our costumes were not particularly
warm, and it impacted the shoot
as it meant that we were more
likely to rush the shots because of
the cold.

5.  I believe that our costumes were
very appropriate for our piece and
for the genre, but in future we
could improve on practicality by
making them a little more tolerant
of the cold.
