Initial Planning - Costumes:

As well as makeup, we will also use clothing to represent the emotional state of the characters during different parts of the film.

Happy Flashbacks:

For the happy flashbacks, both characters will be wearing clothes made from bright, warm colours. They will wear ordinary, comfortable clothes to add a sense of realism to our film as we want the girls to look like normal everyday people. We will also include elements of clothing which add a pop of colour. This will express the happy mood of the characters. This will contrast the darker clothing from the sadder flashbacks. It will seem as if nothing could disrupt the happy lives of these two girls. 

Darker Flashbacks:

For the darker flashbacks and the bench scene, character one will change into darker clothes. She will wear black trousers and a black jacket. The lack of colour in her outfit and face due to makeup, will represent the lack of emotion and joy in her life. As her mental health declines she will care less about her appearance which will be shown through her clothing. During the bench scene both characters will be wearing darker clothes as it adds to the enigma of the opening. The black clothing will dig up feelings of death, grief and loss for the audience who will, with each flashback, put the pieces of the plot together.
