My actors costume #1


This is my alternate character that i will be using in the outside settings. I have decided to make her look completely opposite to her other character because this is her mental escape and how she wants to see herself. However she doesnt want to see her self as a normal girl because she is childlike in the mind and has aspirations to be seen as a princess. I also believe this will make her look more dream like and be easy to establish this character as make believe and something that she has imagined her self to feel like she is when she is with this boy. She feels like she is a real woman because she feels such intense love for him. So much so that it changes her completely from being childish and insane and trapped to be free beautiful and almost in a sense look mature.


For the costume itself my actor will be wearing a long light pink dress. Pink is commonly realted to a girls colour and is sterotyped with little girls and fairy princess's so this shows that my character is still herself and that her prentending to be something she isnt is quite childish in itself. However with the dress she will be wearing helled shoes. This shows a sense of maturity and her leap from a girl to a women as she falls inlove she becomes more mature and aware of her personel appearence. She will aslo be wearing a little tiara to further highlight her childish needs and also act as a personal reminder for both her and the audience that she is a figment of her own imaginiation because she is still childlike and is still mentally ill and this character is only a dream.


My character make up is an important element in my characters costume as it helps veiwers recognise her as she was before with the heavy eyeliner. However instead of having dark lashes i gave her big white lashes to show that all diffferent elements of her are changing and shows that she is becoming pure when she falls inlove as she wants to be better and sane for him.
