Costume Creation

Hi Cambridge! On Monday, my actor, Crosby, came over and we began filming! There was a lot to cover in the Mise-en-Scene aspect, so today's post is dedicated entirely to the wardrobe and makeup creation.

On Sunday, I had compiled my inspiration for her costume. I wanted an oversized graphic t-shirt and black sweatpants. I wanted it to be a comfortable but also slouchy/lazy looking outfit. So, I facetimed her and she showed me her clothes, and I picked out which one was fitting my vision!

Here's the images of my inspiration I found online:

Here is her actual costume! I think it captures exactly what I wanted, a realistic, casual, and comfortable teenage outfit. It's a Nirvana t-shirt which fits the graphic I wanted, and it relates to Jess's love for rock!

Next, on Monday, I had her apply heavy eye makeup with non-waterproof eyeliner and tubing mascara. I also asked if she could wear a dark lipstick, as shown below! 


Then came the fun part! We smeared her mascara, added water to her eyes, and blended in red on her skin to make it seem like she's puffy and been crying all day. Here are some behind the scenes of doing this!

That's how I prepared and created Crosby's "Jess" look! I hope you enjoyed watching some clips! I know I did when making it! 

Here's the final Makeup look:
