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.
