Costume Ideas

Costume was one of the points of feedback from when we pitched our idea.

To link the costume into the different sets I was think of using the same dress for two of the elements of the Water and the Woods. The feedback we got was that using a dress that we used in the water would be too cold to use in the woods sequence.

I think that instead of just the female singer wearing a plain flowy dress, it should be made of various materials which are quite ragged and can be built up for the different elements. We want to use ragged long cloths so we can drape them around the sets to submerge the artists into her sets. We also want to use this idea so we can incorporate the projections idea into the sets so they have something to be projected onto.

-Water : White cloths draped around he but very long so they are able to flow in the 'water' effect to give the effect of floating and suspension. Instead of having a structure to the dress it incorporates the costume into the whole set instead so it takes up more of a frame whilst still potentially being a long shot, this means that the design of the set can be based around her costume.

The image above shows the kind of style that i was thinking for the costume as it shows the variety of materials and fabrics. However I would like the fabrics to be longer and the corset are of the dress not maybe to be so structured or we could use that style as a base and build on top for the extra layers of fabrics.

 

Above is the kind of stripped fabric idea that i meant but i think that the quantity should be greater and the size of the strips so i could incorporate that into different areas of the set. 

Again above is a picture of the kind of fabrics id like to use. I think that they fabric strips should be long so we could tie them loosely to areas around the set so the actress is emerged i her own clothing as it gets twisted by the water.  

The image above shows the kind of projection idea of the after effect onto the cloths.

The images above is the kind of idea of how we would like the fabrics to be in the water and the length of the fabrics.

-Woods : For the woods scene we would use the same ragged dress but we could use the fact the it is all draped to layer more onto her so that the outside theme doesn't look strange and realistically would work better as the temperatures would be more fitting. 

However in this setting the cloths can be draped over the trees surrounding her .
