I thought before making my final decisions about the costumes I want my main character to be wearing I thought some research was in order. I decide the best way to do so was to look though and cut up some magazine to get an idea of the colours and styles I want for my costume.
Pattern Costume Ideas
I thought due to my teaser trailers unique theme I wanted to try experimenting with clothing with vibrant patterns. Although I find these costume ideas appealing I feel that they might over shadow the character and the location which was the main idea I was going for.
Black and Dark Themed Colour Costumes
I thought about trying colours that are a bit darker, colours like dark blue and navy. This was to see if the darker colours would prevent the overshadowing of my character and the rest of the clip the reason this worries me is because my shots I have planned are to be rather fast and if the costumes were to bright this would distract from what’s happening, so darker and planer colours are a must
Feminine Costume Ideas
I wanted to show my characters personality though a very soft feminine costume but I have reached the same problem as before, the colour and pattern are overbearing with the other colours in the locations.
Dark yet Feminine Costumes
This is my favourite set because it incorporates all of the ideas I gained from the previous ideas, the darker colours make it less distracting but it all has the pattern’s and the feminine flow to the costumes that I was after. This has made me come to the conclusion I will be looking for a floral blouse for a part of my costume with perhaps dark bottoms and dark vest underneath to tone down the costume if the shirt is to light or patterned.
