Technical Planning - Costume and Props

Costume and Props

To create our film we needed to have 3 main features, this was a white dress, fake blood and a knife so that the wedding scene would be created from the White dress then the horrific scene of the bride being killed with the knife and the fake blood. We took a photo of the dress before and after filming to see what happened to the dress throughout filming. We also took a photograph of me in the dress so you could see how my character was being portrayed in the opening sequence. One the character I was playing was killed i then had to cover my neck in blood to make it realistic (see photos below) I did this by using fake blood and abit of eye shadow to add effect onto the horrific cut onto my characters neck. You can see in the photos below the before and after affects on the dress and you can also see how the makeup of the character is, for example in the first photograph you can see that the dress is perfectly white and the characters make up looks simple but effective as you can see her innocents through the White dress her pure makeup. Whereas in the second photograph you can see how the killing has changed the bride, as her White dress is now covered in blood around the neck area and it has black marks on it to show that she has been dead for a while and you can also tell his from the dark circles around her eyes, this was suppose to create affect on the audience when the bride is standing behind the couple in the future as it will stand out from a long distance. 

 

This is a photograph of how my character looked before filming. I created this look by doing natural, simple makeup that a traditional bride with have to tie in with the white traditional wedding dress, I also curled my hair to give the effect that my character had made an effort to look nice as it was her big day. 

This is a photograph of how my character looked after filming. I created this look by using fake blood around my neck area and using black and brown eye shadow to create dark patches over the dress which originally was the wedding dress of the bride, this created the effect of death on the late bride. I also used dark make up around my eye area to make my character look like she has been dead for a few years, also with th dark eyes it looked good on the camera as it make my characters face looked like it had sunk into the skull. 

This photograph shows the blood each I created for my character once she died. I created this by using fake blood and dark eye shadow, when applying the blood I put it all at the top of the cut and then shaked my neck around so that the blood would make its way down my neck on its own to give the real affect of the killing. 

This shows the props and costumes which was needed for the opening sequence offer film, it states what it was, where the group will get it from and who will be responsible for being in the required equipment for filming. It states that all the equipment needed to be in the day before filming so that we had everything organised for filming on the next day, this also reduced the chance of anything being forgotten.
