This is a visual representation of what the characters will be wearing in our film ‘Oh My Guru’.
As you can see Anisha the main character is wearing quite ‘normal’ teenage clothes. As you can see she is wearing skinny jeans a top or tee shirt and a coat or jacket. She is keeping up with the latest trends but her costume is quite basic and not fitting into any major groups, for example emo or chav. We added the umbrella as irony as in the film Anisha puts her umbrella down and then gets splashed with water by a car. We didn’t want her costume to be too extreme because we wanted her to fit in the crowd. Hopefully the audience will see that.
This is the costume the girls will be wearing at the sleepover scene. As you can see the pyjamas are your average day to day ones. We needed this so the audience would see that it is a sleepover scene. Obviously for props we will be adding sleeping bags, food to add to the mis-en-scene.
This is the costume for the boy. As you can see he is wearing a hoodie and jeans. He is wearing average clothes the same as Anisha because we didn’t want him to be too out of Anisha’s league. We wanted him to be in the category ‘indie’ as most boys Anisha’s age are quite indie. We may add headphones as a prop.
This is the costume for Anisha’s younger sister Amina. We want her to be a chav so there is a big difference between the two sisters. We wanted to exaggerate the chavyness of Amina. We thought she can be in a tracksuit, have very big hoop earrings and too much make-up on. She may be holding her phone for emphasis. We wanted the chavyness of Amina to be quite humorous and we hope the audience understands this.
This is Anisha’s youngest sister Anita. She will be the youngest so quite naive and innocent. We have dressed her in a pinafore tights and pumps. She won’t be wearing any visible makeup but we may put a bit on so it emphasises her features. Her hair will be in plats or to high bunches. The choice of costume should reflect on Anita’s character and the audience should see that.
Some excellent creations here, Amara. I like the way you have represented the different ages of the 3 girls. Is a pinafore realistic in this day and age even for a young girl?
ReplyDeleteThink about their personalities too. What do their clothes say about their unique personalities? Be careful about using words like 'normal' because it can mean different things to different people. What's normal to you is very different to others even in the same age bracket.
