Costume and Make-up - Megan and Mark

One aspect of make-up that we will need to consider is how to create bruising.

This page of WikiHow shows how fake bruises can be achieved.


We will be testing out a few of these ideas in the next few days.


Costume ideas -

• Modern representation of teenagers, so typical teenage clothes, as we want the characters to be easy to relate to and show that domestic violence can happen to anyone.
• We want our film to represent a social realist genre as much as possible, so the costume needs to be quite neutral and not stand out as anything too 'different' so that it distracts from the narrative.
• We also have a hospital scene at the end where we need to use costume that patients wear while hospitalised so that it fits with the narrative and looks realistic.
• We have also had to consider the time of year during our film as much of it is shown through flashbacks. This means that we need to show time passing over a longer period of time than we are filming over, so we may need to account for some summer/autumn clothes as well as winter clothes that we will naturally be wearing.
