Costumes

In our opening scene we chose to have four costumes: two for Harriet (pyjamas and daywear), one for Louise (daywear) and one for the waiter. We constructed each costume to fit the role of the character, we wanted to show different personality types of Harriet and Louise through our costume choices.

Harriet

The first costume we see Harriet in is her pyjamas; we decided we wanted her to have comfy, non-matching pyjamas as we wanted her to seem quite relaxed until the moment she wakes up. We also decided to have her pyjamas slightly colour coordinated and red to symbolise the connotation of love. This is then pursued in her next costume as she again wheres tones of red.







The second costume worn by Harriet is her casual daily wear, which again we decided to have some red within it to foreshadow the theme of love. We wanted to give her some kind of cover up as we started filming in winter/beginning of spring and the weather shows this as well. We needed to give her a costume change in order for the narrative to make sense as she has got ready for the day and needs to wear outdoor clothes.





The waiter in our opening scene wears a black short sleeve T-shirt and grey trousers, along with an apron. We chose this combination of colours as it best showed what a waiter would wear in a cafe. We thought the apron would be very convinving for mise-en-scene to show the audience that they are indeed a waiter.
