Costume

DSD productions haven't come up with definite actors yet although i am considering playing the main character and taking part in the filming and editing continuously. My original plan was to have the character that is seen to be evil to cover them in a full black bin bag cape outfit. Although the team considered saving vast's amount of money on equipment we didn't think about how to make this costume stable on the actor as it might fly away once filming and during allot of action. So we have come to the conclusion that a saving money procedure isant the way forward and that we need to think more broadly. My main inspiration came from celebrities and other icons in the Media that have made Bin bags 'fashionable' and accessible.We did think also think that using bin bags will be a environmentally friendly use as most are recyclable. I suggested tat bin bags are adjustable but i then got corrected on how easily they rip and fly away. When testing this out we saw that it looked like a Halloween outfit which was not what we are intending to go for plus it will be confusing for the viewers to understand the purpose of our costume choice.

After many debate and consideration we thought about other costumes we could get and provide. Daniel agreed to keep the outfit black as this will show the terror and darkness/evilness also danger of the character so i suggested how about keeping it more basic and formal. We thought about it long and hard and thought of the advantages we have, the villains face will not be shown at any point so facial covering was something we didn't need to worry about. I went home that eventing and realised exactly how cold it is so i took this into perspective. I decided gloves will be good to use and have black jeans with a baggy black jacket/coat with a hood on it. Dark night, cold weather, dark atmosphere, blacked out clothes, perfect result!
