Costume Ideas

We want the 'popular' girl to sport clothes that are sophisticated, high fashion, bright and girly this will hopefully convey to the audience the type of character she is without her even having to speak. Emphasis on the costume element of mise on scene is going to be pivotal in our 2 minute opening sequence as we want to evoke certain emotions for the characters in a short space of time, and we believe by getting the costume perfect we can achieve this.

The sophisticated and high fashion feel will connote wealth, a good sense in style and the fact that she takes pride in her appearance, by placing her in bright clothes it will tell the audience that she oozes self confidence and loves to be seen. By dressing her girly, the viewers will be under the illusion that she gets a lot of male attention and is the girl everyone else wants to be with and around. These are a few of the attributes we are hoping to gain through the use of costume.

I would define the look we are going for, for the popular girl as ‘preppy’. This consists of a mixture of designers such as Abercormbie, Jack Will, Lacoste and Ralph Lauren. Below are a few examples I found of attire that would be appropriate for the popular girl:

Below is a mood board I created with a selection of items from clothing to jewellery to bags and much more just to give you a feel for what we are considering. We could pick any of these pieces and put them together to construct the perfect costume. We will obviously trail and test a variety of costumes on are actresses before filming, to see what compliments her, the character we are creating and the settings.
