Costuming

 Hey blog!

One of the major mise-en-scene elements in a movie is costuming it represent the character and makes them stand out from the rest of the cast. Athena, who is the main character, is an artist who is constantly in her own head so how I imagine her is with baggy clothes and wearing a messy bun. This is to represent that Athena is living in her own head and doesn't really care about clothes but still have one element such as a jacket that still represent her creativity. This character in the film would also carry around headphones to emphasize her being a little out of touch with reality since music is one of the main way people disassociate. 

this is the plan I had for her:

And looking for my closet i found the perfect jacket that gives an artist vibe when you look at it because even though the base is green there is a lot of colors with it.

Mara is harder to find clothing for since I want her to stand out a bit more in modern times that's why i want to put her in outfit that gives more fantasy old timey vibe. To make it clear to the audience that Mara isn't supposed to be part of this reality. But also include a bow or a head piece that is very recognizable that hints to the audience that this is the character the Main character is obsessing over. 

 i found this in my closet that i think would work well with Mara since its definitely not something you see girls wearing out in public today: 

The bows I'm buying a white bow and going to put the initial or sign of Athena to represent it being Athena's character being alive, since all artist sign their work. I think its a cool way to represent Mara being Athena's creation.
