Set & Costumes

 Hello and welcome back everyone!

Today we're going to be discussing the set and costume design within my film.

Regarding location I already have a place in mind, there's a park near my house that started this whole idea, so that's where i'll be filming. I still need to work out the kinks with kids possibly being there while i'm filming so i'm planning on doing it later in the day or during weekdays when they're not as likely to be there. But not too much I can do because it is a playground afterall.

This is the location I have in mind:

These are some more pictures and videos I took of the park at night  I hope you appreciate this cause I was so scared someone was gonna kidnap me and this place is creepy as fuck at night.

I will probably bring some lights with me while filming to set the scene but for the most part i'll be using the natural lighting so that the film feels realistic and depicts a natural representation of life. Also because I'm not entirely sure where to get lights, I'll probably end up using my phone's flashlight but it is what it is.

As for the costumes, I want Vivienne and Blair to be portrayed as opposites, and not only through personality and maturity levels, but also through aesthetics.

 As of right now, I'm planning on using my friend, Layla to play Viv. Though their styles are completely different I think she'd do an amazing job at embodying her carefree and funny attitude. This also means that the costumes might be more inspired by the moodboard rather than being a true copy of it, which honestly might play out better in the end.

The one and only amazing Layla


My main thing about the costume design is that Viv has that bright and eccentric style to her, so no matter what sub-style (grunge, preppy, etc.) it takes on I think it will work out.

However, Blair's costuming will stay pretty true to itself as I think her costume reflects her pretty perfectly.

Drumroll please for who will be playing Blair.....

Yup, you guessed it it's Me!!

One thing that i'm definitely incorporating is the sun and moon friendship necklaces shown in the mood boards. These represent that their eachother's half even though they are so different. I ordered these on amazon so hopefully they come in time.





Anywho, I don't really have much to say about the set design because there's not much for me to change and I just need to talk with Layla to figure out what costumes we want to wear because there's going to be several wardrobe changes.


XOXO,
