Choosing the right clothes for actors-Planning

 The importance of customs 

Customs are more than just clothes the actors wear in films; they visual tell a person entire's personality and character development before any dialogue is even said. The way our actors dress for our short film will help the audience understand how they feel emotionally as a person and just who they are as a person. Choosing the right clothing for each different character is important for maintaining the authenticity in our short film as it does rely on emotions.

Character #1-Lena 

Lena's character is more softer is supposed to give off a more softer vibe in the film. She has a gentle presence and carries herself in a sweet, calm full way. Lena shows her expressions mainly from her expressions, small gestures, and tones of voice. Me and my group was thinking Lena could wear more softer and innocent colors like pink and not darker ones that'll change what the audience think of her from the beginnings.

Things for me to keep in mind:

• Wear Brighter/Lighter colors 
• Casual but still a clean look
• Simple natural fabrics

Ella woods from legally blonde

Ella woods from legally blonde is my inspirations or what I want lena to dress in because she always wore softer colors especially pink and was a sweet and strong person at the same time, showing off her bubbly personality through her appearance

Character #2- Claire
Claire is the more natural andthe sneaky character as well. She presents herself as calm, reliable, and not to much in the way of anyone. Her sneakiness isn’t obvious — it’s shown through small actions, lingering glances, quiet decisions, and moments where she withholds information. This contrast between her natural, innocent appearance and her calculated behavior makes her character intriguing and slightly unpredictable, adding tension to the story without her ever having to raise her voice.

Things for me to keep in mind:

• Slightly more relaxed styling
• Sarker colored clothing
• Natural or earth tones

Veronica from Riverdale

Veronica from Riverdale is kind of my inspiration for Claire because I do not wanter to be dressed in dark clothes exactly like that but definitely close to it. As Veronica was a very pretty girl with extremely sneaky tendencies.

Character #3- Michael

Michael is introduced as calm, charming, and emotionally intelligent — the type of guy who immediately feels safe and easy to talk to but then leads to the most dangerous person in lena's life. In conversations, he listens carefully, responds in a warm and reassuring way, and makes her feel seen and understood. He mirrors her softness at first, matching her energy and creating a sense of comfort.

Things to keep in mind:

• Comfortable, everyday clothings
• Natural colors
• More relaxed styling

Beck from victorious

Beck from victorious was laid back and chill. The way he dressed didn't really fit his character but would fit my male character for my short film. This would be great as you cant'll really understand him fully on how he is through his clothes.
