(Post 29) Planning- Costume and Make-Up

We wanted the make up and costumes to look as natural as possible to tie in with the countryside setting and innocent, slightly melancholic feel we were trying to create with the film. We therefore avoided any bright or harsh colours of make up and used only a light foundation to help the actors skin glow on camera.  The costumes we sourced were made from natural materials, as we wanted to give a nostalgic feel of a memory of a happy time that has past. We choose only neutral colours for the costumes and loose flowing garments as we didn’t want the clothes to stand out and needed them to add to the romantic, fluid feel of the film. We used mostly whites and off white which helped add to the innocent feeling of the piece.

We were fortunate enough to already own the majority of the clothes we needed in order to create the look we were going for. Most importantly Evie's mum already owned a victorian wedding dress which created the perfect outfit for Jess in the video.
