Hey guys! How is everyone? One of the most important things when it comes to films are the characters costume designs. A characters costume design is important since it enhances character depth and development. This is done with the careful selections made in clothing, accessories and overall aesthetics. One film that heavily inspires some of the costume designs for our 2 minute film opening is Diary Of A Whimpey Kid: Rodrick Rules. Specifically the scene where Rodrick and his band members from his band "Lรถaded Diper" (which happens to be a rock band) are seen playing. In this scene each member of the band are wearing clothes such as leather jackets, mostly dark colors, jeans, etc.
This will help when coming to creating our costumes since for the first minute of our film opening, we plan on recording a rock band of high school students practicing in their garage. Each of their costumes will allow the audience to have some kind of view on them both as rock players and as individual people by giving them their own unique styles while also making it clear that they are all part of a group together. However, when it comes to designing the costume for our main antagonist we're planning on making him stand out a little more then the others to show how he's different from them the same way the band member all the way to the left of the picture seen above is wearing brighter colors in comparison to the others while still fitting in with the overall aesthetic of the band.
Feel free to comment thoughts on these ideas. I'll be keeping all of you updated in upcoming blogs.
