Production blog: Costumes

  When gathering the costumes that I was preparing fro my film I ran into a few issues that I hadn’t originally taken into account. I originally planned to have the following: a casual look with pants and short-sleeve, a fancy suit, and pajamas. Seeing as I’m working alone on the project, I will be the only one wearing these costumes. My story is supposed to begin with my character preparing for his birthday the night before. At this point, he is wearing his casual clothes, and he is preparing his suit to wear in the morning. I was originally thing of having the character then be in pajamas since this is at night, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable in pajamas while on camera so I decided not to do this. I also realized that parts of the story wouldn’t add up, because I wanted my character to already be in his suit the next morning. So I then changed the story so that the main character is so excite for his birthday, that he chooses to wear his birthday suit in his sleep. This way, the harvest can wear the suit fro the rest of the movie.When it came to gathering the costumes I would need, for the most part it wasn’t so difficult. the casual costume only consisted of my everyday clothes. The suit however, was mor difficult to find. I ended up using a suit that I found from a while back that I got when going to a family members wedding. This worked out pretty well, because I had originally worn this suit for a celebration in real life. Therefor this should translate pretty well to my film. I also plan for my character to look more and more worn out as the film goes on, which plan to translate into my costumes. So perhaps the suit will look worn out by the end of the film. The only problem is, how do make the suit looked damaged without actually damaging it? Ill probably end up using some children’s paint on the suit, because that type of paint is designed to be washable. By doing this I can make it look like it has stains all over it. The suit also has a tie, so I can purposefully make the tie look undone over time.
