Meeting 9

Within our meeting we discussed properly what costumes we wanted to use for particular scenes and physically match them together.
For the chair scene we wanted to contrast the pale colours of the chair and room with a bright, bold colour so we chose a bright red dress with padded sholders to create an angular dress that was eye-catching. This was paired with black shoe boots with a high heel as the block colouring also makes a statement to the piece. The only accessories used with this outfit was a ring that said "LOVE".
For the opening part with the garage when she comes up from underground, we wanted to focus on the silhouette of the singer as it gives a first impression to viewers making them want more. For this we decided to dress her simply in leggings and a plain top with a leather jacket to show that she is modern as well. We gave her heels to wear as well as this will magnify her look making her legs apear longer and giving her a more seductive silhouette.
For the balcony scene we wanted to go for something different but trendy. We will dress her in snake-skin leggings with a black lace top to show elegance as well as edgyness. This will be paired with black Dr Martins to contradict the elegance and show harshness and boldness to the character.
The scene with the violinist and the mime - the mime will be dressed in simple black and white - perhaps a suit with sad mime make-up. The girl violinist will wear a maroon red dress with high heels to show she is better than the mime as he is just copying her. The dress will show a clear silhouette and the deep maroon colour will contrast nicely with the bright green of the archway behind.
When the girl is singing in the destroyed forest we decided to dress her in a white satin night dress to almost signify that she could be dreamng, also the purity and cleanliness of the white will contradict with the dirt and mud that is in her surroundings. This will be paired with the black Dr Martins also as it gives the character an edge which is the main look we are going for with the modern pop song.
The shot of the ballerina in the forest will be dressed with the ballet dancer in typical ballet uniform, again to show purity and innocence.
