Costumes..

Costume is a really important element of Mise en scene, which means everything in the frame. Costume makes the character more believable, if I had Amy dressed as a banana, it would be difficult for anyone to take her seriously as a character therefore she is dressed casually to make her character more believable and effective.


Main Costume-
Casual clothing, which are things that a student would wear, I didn't want her to be too casually dressed so you could see a contrast between the clothes she usually wears and the clothes she wears at work, which is another reason why she finds it so degrading. I showed this costume to one of my audiences and they said it was a good leading costume, especially the tights, as red is a colour that people associate with promiscuity, and someone described the tights as "Whoreish, yet classy" which is good, because that's the image I am going for.






Jacket
This is the jacket Amy wears when shes litter picking, it is dark outside so it does look like she is wearing a uniform, we were going to use a pair of overalls, but they were a very dark colour and you couldn't really see her outside, the jacket is quite sheeny so you can see it well and she still does look like a litter picker! It is also more realistic that she is wearing a jacket as it is cold outside!
