costuming!

Hi everyone and welcome back! In this post I will be talking about costuming! Nicole and I are very excited to go to a bunch of different thrift stores and find costumes that go with our characters. In the descriptions below I will describe each character and what kind of mood Nicole and I want them to portray.

Our first character is the one and only Blair Libra! She is a badass lead female character that is very independent. Since this is set in the 1950s’ she will be wearing a dress and we want to sort of assign colors to each character. For libra her character color will be red. Her dress will be red and so will her nails. Below will be some photos of ideas that we want to use for her.

Now for our detective who will have a more serious look. Nicole and I want the film to have strong independent females who are the leads. S o we have chosen to have the detective to also be played by a female. If it doesn’t seem realistic well hey! Men used to play women in plays and that was accepted! Our detective will be wearing a blazer and some straight cut pants. In plenty of movies that is what they have the female detectives wearing and it also seems the most appropriate. Nicole and I also have to make sure that the outfits stay to the time of the setting where most women did not wear pants. So some examples that we found are pictured below. The detectives color will be very monotone and will be in grey to show that she is not here to have fun, she is very serious and wants to get straight to the point.

For our third character will be the one and only victim Gideon Andrews! Gideon will look like the basic but fashionable young men from the 50s’. He will have the slicked back hair and the nice outfits. His color will be white to show how he is innocent in the entire plot and because blood also shows up better on white (not going to lie there). Not only do we want him to look innocent but we also want him to look rich and fashionable. He will be a character that everyone likes overall. Below are some examples that we have found for Gideon Andrews.

Thanks for checking in today and I hope you enjoy our costuming ideas for the characters! Check back tomorrow to see more information on the film opening!
