When creating a period piece, costume is a highly crucial and pivotal factor to consider.The wrong costume could result in the time period that we want to put across to the audience being poorly represented, and therefore majorly influence the overall success of this portrayal in the film.
We brainstormed a few of our own ideas of typical 80's attire, and combined these with the results and suggestions from the questionnaire we had put out previously. From this, we could create a visual mind map, as seen below:
We could then go on to begin combining suggestions to plan and design whole outfits:
The costume we chose in the end was composed of plain black trainers, rolled up jeans, a long jacket and an aged hat. We chose this costume as it was fairly straightforward to create, and we also felt that it best represented the impressions of class and social status that we wanted to put across to the audience.
