Costumes and Make Up

Costumes and Make Up

We looked up style trends that are popular at the moment so that our costumes would be current among our teenage girl demographic. However we also wanted costumes that would be timeless, so we kept the style basic without patterns or brands. When researching on costumes usually present in teen angst films we found that other films have had this idea by dressing characters in items of clothing that are one colour without many patterns. This is present in films such as Mean Girls, Easy A, and Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.
In our film we will focus on dark colours as that is what is popular with this generation, with jeans and a shirt or t-shirt.

The make up our characters will differ depending on gender. The boys in our film will have little to no make up to keep a natural, real life look that the demographic is familiar with. The girls will be made up like teenage girls that will watch our film. The main character Rose will have more natural make up at the start, as with research we discovered that the main character starts off as a natural beauty but then evolves into into a more impressive beauty, so by the end Rose's make up will be more visible and professional to show how she progresses as a character. This is much like Cady from Mean Girls and Olive from Easy A.
