Post 23- working from a script - costume and makeup

-

-Costume ideas:

Lucy - knee length skirt, collared shirt, cardigan, hat, scarf, gloves and smart leather shoes.

Susan - trousers, top, coat, scarf and smart leather shoes.

Edmund -  trousers, jumper, scarf and comfy shoes.

Peter -  black trousers, collared shirt, jumper and smart leather shoes.

Mr beavers - Brown fur coats

This is a sketch of what peter will be wearing for our film.




















Both beavers will be wearing big coats, which will represent the beavers skin.
















This is my sketch that i did for lucy's                               
costume. she will also be wearing tights,
gloves and leather shoes.


This is what edmund will be wearing, along side with comfortable shoes.  

















This is my sketch for susan's costume. She will also be wearing leather shoes.

















 These are the costumes we used for the beavers. These coats work really well for the beavers body beacuse its warm and fluffy which represents the beavers skin. I think the colours work really well and texture is perfect for the characters they are playing. 





This is costume we used for edmund. We gave edmund a jumper and trousers, as we wanted to show how edmund is the youngest male, out of the four siblings. This outfit shows how edmund is quite lazy, and is the less smart and brave one of the family. Edmund is quite adventurous which is why we chose to style him in a casual look.




 For lucy, we decided she should wear a hat, scarf and gloves, this mainly is because she is the youngest character, who is looked after well by her siblings. We needed to show the audience how she is innocent and harmless, but at the same time has a lot of confidence and is brave at times. I think the patterned cardigan adds alot of outgoing personality to the character being played, which is what we want to show the audience.



Peter is the oldest character, so we decided to not give him a coat mainly because we needed to show the audience how brave he is, and how he cares about his family and younger siblings. we gave him a smart look, which included a collared shirt, jumper and black trousers, this shows how he is part of a well brought up family. Peter always puts his family first, which is what we wanted to show through this outfit by not including a coat or scarf.     





This was the outfit we used for susan. we decided to give susan a contasting outfit to lucy, as there is an age difference between them both. we gave susan a coat and a scarf, for ocverall warmth,  I also wanted to show the audience how susan looks after the group and is the leader with peter. susan is the oldest female out of her siblings, which is why i wanted the coat to symbolise leadership.












- Makeup

We decided not to do any makeup on our cast, this is because most of our characters don't wear any makeup apart from susan, who did wear some makeup on set. We also decided not to do any makeup for the beavers, as we thought to focus more on costume and setting.

We are using the weather as a main component to create the feel of Narnia, In the original film throughout we can see the snow, in order to recreate the snowy feel rather than snowing throughout when the Pevensie's make it to the beavers house we can see them brushing off snow showing that it did snow, the audience then makes the assumption that it was snowing adding to the whole feel of Narnia as snow has connotations of utopian weather. We also are adding clips of snow at the end of the production adding to the whole feel or Narnia. As well as this in editing we are going to add fog effect to create a mysterious feel to the video.    The next component to create Narnia was the setting, Throughout we are setting the location in the wood, we wanted it to be in the wood to create a natural setting that isn't man made, this creates a woodland feel and transports the audience to another out of this world place which is not on earth all adding to the feel ...

Setting and Lighting The setting within the image shows a city, perhaps New York City. With people surrounding the man in the red coat.  The lighting in the image shows low saturation, perhaps it is the evening time and so the sun is setting or the light is used to reflect how the character is feeling. By having the lighting on a low saturated level, it implies sadness, or anxiety and by the image showing a city it could imply that the city is causing the man his problems. A different point of view could be that the city is introducing the character as different people act in different ways depending on where they come from. For example, if the man was walking through the countryside it could imply that he is lonely and has a quiet life, but by having him walk through a city it could portray the idea that he has a busy schedule and by looking at his body language it could imply that he is not happy with where he is. Costume and Make up The first feature in which I notice ...

In the script for Narnia, these are our list of characters: Mr Beaver Mr Beaver is a comical character, however he also plays a crucial role in telling the Pevensie children that they play a crucial role in killing the Ice Queen and that Aslan is waiting for them. He seems to be the eyes and the ears of Narnia although no one expects it. Mr Tumnus and Mr Beaver seem to be close aquanitances as he gave Mr beaver the handerchief before he got taken.  Mrs Beaver Mrs Beaver is also a comical character. She plays a 'typical' 'old fashioned' female as when the children arrive she tells them that she hasnt had time to do her fur, and to "excuse the mess" as if it is her job to tidy the house. She is also the one to tell the children that they are the two sons of Adam and the two daughters of Eve.  Lucy Pevensie  Lucy Pevensie is the youngest out of the children. She was also the first to enter Narnia although that isnt the scene in which we are focu...
