Costume & Props

For our film, costumes was not really one of our main priorities. We thought that because our film was set in the present time, we would use clothes that teenagers of todays society would wear. This would allow the audience to feel like because the characters may dress like them, they could relate to them, or feel more like they knew them. The only major costume choice we thought was necessary was for Laurens parts. Due to the fact that her character was suffering from anorexia, we decided that the actress should wear tops that were either too big and made her look lost in the clothes, or strappy tops to show of her small frame. We had a lot more thought about what props we should use, and in what parts. For the party scenes we needed alcohol bottles and a poweder substance that looked like drugs. For Laurens film she needed lots of pictures of anorexic models and young girls to stick on the wall behind her. Jessica used household things, such as hoover in her parts. For my section of the film Chenice mostly acted around the kitchen, and because she has cleaning OCD, everything was neat and tidy so she didn't have a lot of props to use. One prop we did use in my film was my car. We used this for when Chenice had to repeatedly make sure she has locked her car.
