Part two Mise-en-scene

COSTUME DESIGN-

- For our costume design, we decided to go with the organization of how we split up the scenes to have a better visual for our characters costume design, just like we did for our set. Within the 3 different scenes, we split up the 3 sections to see what type of costume design we would use. 

-For our first section, the prison-cell based scene, we wanted Avery to be with a hospital gown, yet we wanted it to be rusty and not too clean, to make it seem as if she had been trapped there for a while. The costume is a very long, white with small patterns on the design of the hospital gown, she will also be wearing white socks. Since the hospital gown came in clean with no rustiness or dirtiness, Jade, Carolina and i went outside to my backyard to find some dirt and we blended it into the gown, yet we didn't add too much to it, so it wouldn't look super dirty. 

-For our next scene we decided we wanted out actor to be in normal teenager clothes, which include jeans, and a simple long sleeve shirt with shoes. Our scene was the interrogation room. As Avery is held in a seat with her handcuffs on, my dad: Ricardo Gonzalez, is also in his current costume acting as Officer Garcia. He will be wearing blue jeans and a blue shirt that goes up his collar to have a formal sense since he is a sheriff. He will have on his props which include his belt with his gun (toy) and his notepad for notes during the interrogation. He will also have on black shielding glasses. 

-Lastly, our last scene is where Officer Garcia will be talking on the phone. He will have the same clothes on, yet he will have a sweater over the chair and his phone will be his prop at the moment. Since Avery is still currently trapped in the cell, she will be in her hospital gown costume during this scene. 

MAKEUP -

-Makeup is a crucial factor within our film, especially when Avery is being held captive during her prison-cell scenes. We wanted her to seem very tired and sleep deprived, as if she had been stuck and trapped there for a long time. To do this, we had my mom help us with the makeup design, since she is really good at it. We gave her a look to signify "eye bags" and "tiredness." We also wet her hair, to make it look greasy and as if she's in a frenzy. We wanted the look to give as if she has been unkept for a long time. To help us with this look, we searched up some help in Pinterest to get some inspiration, and finally we came over the perfect foto for our reference. 

           

LIGHTING-

- Lighting is also highly important within our film, since we want too give out an ominous eery feeling during the first scenes, we though that we should use dim lighting to represent the mood and atmosphere together. Many mystery films include low key lighting to create a more darker contrast than other films. It gives them that stability of keeping the audience on edge. We chose to se these techniques within our film, using a light-bar to add more of a filler light for when our character needs to be highlighted and also to space out other characters.
