The document discusses the costume and makeup design for four girls meant to portray 12-13 year olds in an opening sequence, though the actors are actually 16-17. Dark face paint and white eyes were used to show possession as more dominant than the girls. Pigtail braids and "gowns" exaggerated youth to represent the intended young target age group and social period. The all-white costumes unified the girls as a vulnerable social group susceptible to pressure.

2.  Our opening sequence features 4 girls.
 In the sequence they will be acting as 12-
13 years old however they are 16-17 years
old.

3.  The white eyes and dark face shows that the
possession is more dominant than the girls.
 The pigtail plaits, which are worn by our
main character, exaggerates the age of the
girl therefore represents a young age group.

4. Above there are images of Hannah before we did her hair and make-up
and the change when her make-up was done. As you can see the changes
make her look younger in order for her to fit in with the social group.

5.  The age of the girls is exaggerated by the
costume as the “gowns” are what a young
girl would wear to bed, in the period of time
our opening sequence is set in.
 This represents the type of social group
around in that period of time.

6.  We chose to use a girl as they’re
stereotypically seen to give in to pressure
more easily and that they’re venerable
hence why they’re possessed.

7.  All of the characters are wearing a white
“gown” which helps to represent the time
period for when our opening sequence is set.
 The colour signifies how young girls are seen
as innocent.
 As they’re all wearing the same costume it
brings them together as a social group.

8.  We have done all of the above conventions in
order to show that the possessions is more
dominant than the girls and it’s important in
the narrative then her subculture/age.
