Part Two Mise-en-scene

                                                               COSTUME DESIGN-

 For the costume design of our film, we decided to organize the scenes to create a better visual for our characters' costumes, just as we did for our set. Within the three different scenes, we split up the three sections to see what type of costume design we would use. 

For our first part, the prison-cell scene, we wanted Avery to be in a hospital gown, yet we wanted it to be rusty and not too clean, to make it seem as if she had been in the cell for a long time. The costume is a long, white hospital gown with small patterns on the design of the hospital gown; she will also be wearing white socks. Like a mental patient would wear.  Since the hospital gown came in clean with no dirtiness.  Jade, Emma, and I went outside to Emma's backyard to find some dirt, and we blended it into the gown. We need to show that she had been there for a while. 

For the next scene, we decided we wanted our actor (Me) to be in normal teenager clothes, which include jeans, a simple long-sleeve shirt, and shoes. These cloths need to show her as person and who she was before everything. Our scene was the interrogation room. As Avery is held in a seat with her handcuffs on, Emma's dad, Ricardo Gonzalez, who is also in his current costume, acts as Officer Garcia (police officer). He will be wearing blue jeans and a blue shirt that goes up his collar to have a formal sense since he is a sheriff. He will have on his props, which include his belt with his gun (that is a toy) and his notepad for notes during the interrogation. He will also have on black shielding glasses. 

Makeup is a crucial factor within our film, when Avery is being held captive during her prison-cell scenes. We wanted her to seem very tired and not sleeping, as if she had been stuck and trapped there for a long time. To make it happen, we had Emm's mom help us with the makeup design, since she is really good at it. We gave her a look to signify "eye bags" and "tiredness." We didn't know how to do the makeup. We also wet her hair, to make it look greasy and as if she's in a frenzy. 

           

Lighting is highly important within our film and other films, since we want to give out an ominous, eerie feeling during the first scenes. We used dim lighting to represent the mood and atmosphere together. Many different mystery films include low-key lighting to create a darker contrast than other films. It gives them the stability of keeping the audience on edge. We chose to use these techniques within our film, using a light bar to add more of a filler light for when our character needs to be highlighted, and also to space out other characters.
