Costume research and planning of my short film

1. In my short film I will use the mise-en-scene of
costumes/outfits to portray the realism of my
film. This will be done by what the actresses
wear throughout the film, as they will be seen to
wear casual everyday clothes. This is to
represent how the girls will be conveyed as
stereotypical teenagers who wear clothes that
female teenagers of this generation and age
group wear. The main character Willow and the
secondary character Jasmine are best friends
and have similar likes and interests. This means
that their costumes will be similar, and what
they will do within the film means they will
wear similar casual clothes. Additionally as the
characters are meant to be the same age as myself, I
have decided the characters would wear clothing which are
things that I would wear. This would show realism effectively
and naturalism as the characters wear teenage girl clothes.
The main character Willow will wear everyday
casual clothes to show when she isn't in school
to the audience without having to explain it.
Then when she is in school which I will show
briefly, she will wear smart clothes such as
trousers, boots and jumpers. The casual clothes
Willow will wear will be trainers
such as New Balance and
Converse, Jumpers and long
sleeved tops, jeans and leggings
and a coat/jacket to show the season the film will
be filmed and set in. This will be because the
weather will be made to seem cold enough to
wear a coat/jacket. In terms of makeup throughout
Willow will wear minimal to no make up to show
her grief maybe and amount of effort she has
towards her appearance after Jasmine has gone.

2. The character Jasmine will wear a costumes of
something like New Balance trainers, a turtle neck
long sleeved tops, jeans and a coat/jacket. The coat
or jacket would signify the time of year the film is
set in for being summer/ spring. Therefore the
weather would still be cold and would mean the
characters need to wear a coat or jacket. This
costume would be for the
flashback part of the film where
Jasmine is featured, as she is
seen to be casually dressed as
she is going to walk up the
woods with Willow. Then for the
ghost sighting of Willow she will
wear something white, long and
flowy to represent her as
a ghost. She may wear a
long white dress which
has lots of material, but
shows her arms and legs,
while having no shoes on.
In terms of her make up
she will being looking pale but with
pink/red coloured lips, and mascara to show
she is a ghost due to how pale she is, but
still looks herself and pretty.
