So production begins!! I want to start off with the creating of costumes simply because I think that the stylistic choices says a lot about characters and helps introduce them in a quick and efficient way. So since we are doing a period piece for this film opening, me and my partner decided to go thrifting to buy some pieces for the characters to wear. Everything we picked was strategic so that it would fit into the symbols that we wanted to show and also fit the decade that they are living in which is the 80s.
So for the killer, we wanted her to represent that classic 80s popular cheerleader so of course we had to give her a red letterman jacket which luckily my partner already has!! So it was just a matter of finding pants to wear with it and since mom jeans were so big in the 80s, we thought why not find red mom jeans? Luckily we found some levis at the thrift store and we are very excited that we found them in red since we really wanted her clothes to reflect her ulterior motives like her love but also unstable danger.
For the nerd, we found an old star wars t-shirt which I think is perfect since it looks a little worn out. This shows that the character doesn't really care too much about what he wears and that he has more important things to be occupied with. Also, Star Wars is deemed a little nerdy and was very big in the 80s since the first 3 films came out in that decade and the 70s.
And lastly, for the athlete we found a baseball style shirt which I was immediately drawn to because I think I have seen that style of shirt countless times in film and tv shows that take place in that decade. It's a blue shirt and I think that it's just one of those classic pieces that no matter when you wear it, you will always associate it with something and to me, its the 80s.
