Makeup,Hair and Costume

The makeup we want to use in our short film will be natural, this is because most teenagers wear makeup but we want our actress to look younger than our actor, by wearing more neutral makeup will help convey that.  We want a natural base on our actress so that she has a flawless look on her face and soft eyes and lips, this can be done through the following methods:

Face-

Primer

Concealer

Foundation

Powder

Blush

Eyes-

Soft brown Shades

Thin eyeliner

Mascara

Lips-

Soft Pink

Lipgloss

 

The costume of the Female will follow current trends in fashion, her character will be currently shopping in high street brands such as newlook, topshop and Primark. Our character will be wearing costumes from these shops, in the majority of the footage the female character is going to be wearing day to day clothes and warm clothes due to the time of year coming into winter. This will mean she will be wearing items of clothing such as jumpers, scarfs, fluffy socks, jeans, leggings, knitted dresses and cardigans. In one particular scene the female character will be in her sleepwear, so warm pyjamas or a onesie could be a good item of costume to use. If we film a morning shot our female actress could be in her dressing gown which I feel should be stereotypically pink to convey the typical girly teenager.

The females hair will vary over the days as this will help the audience understand the change in time and place. This can include being down, up in a ponytail , bun , half up half down.

The males costume again will follow fashion trends and be shopping in high street brands such as Topman, River Island, Jack Jones and Hollister. Our male character also will mainly be filmed throughout the day and require warm items of clothing, such as jeans, hoodies, scarfs and jumpers.
The males hair will be natural and un-styled, this will maintain the theme of being casual at home.

The class of our characters are middle class, this is represented in their clothing brands and the way they style themselves.
