Costume Ideas for Emily // Pre-Production

Emily is my protagonist therefore the choice of costume is incredibly important so that I can ensure she has the preferred reading I want.

The preferred reading is how I (the director) wants the audience to see/perceive her.

Name: Emily

Age: 17
Interests: Writing, books, Lord of the Rings

 The costume ideas I have for Emily are as follows:

 A coat for warmth during the external shots. Emily herself is practical and as I am filming during winter she as a person would definitely wear a coat to keep warm. However, for the internal shots this piece of clothing was not needed.

Since I am creating a trailer I am going to show Emily in various locations so to make it seem more realistic she will be wearing different tops (as if the shots had been taken on different days from the whole filming of the film itself - which of course it isn't as I am only filming a trailer).

Black jeans will feature in almost every outfit as I believe they are most appropriate and are a piece of clothing that Emily would wear (due to the colour black relating to depression and the idea of feeling dark and the fact that black jeans seem to be in fashion now). As well as this they work with lots of other clothes.

Emily will wear simple shoes (as seen below), again practical in the weather (winter) but also fashionable. Both pairs of shoes look worn to make her costume seem more realistic (as if she wears those shoes all the time).
