Today I will be talking about the costuming in Film and how I used it in my film.
Another Aspect of costuming in film is being able to identify the right type of costuming for my actors based on the tone, setting, and lighting in the scene. Now first the tone of a scene can heavily affect the type of costuming for my characters because of the way colors make the audience feel. For example, White commonly is used in a neutral tone with the audience not meant to feel happy or sad but more or less interested. The color green is commonly used to convey happiness in film so if your scene is meant to be more happy then green is a good color for character costuming. But on the opposite sides of the color spectrum in film there is yellow and red. With red commonly being associated with anger and violence in film and if you as a director would want the audience to feel a sense of anger or unjust then red is a good costuming choice. Then last but not least there is yellow, yellow is often paired with the feeling of paranoia and anxiety. So films that use yellow can help the audience become more engaged because they are anxious as to what is going to happen.
Also, with the help of my Mise-en-Scene research I was able to understand that it is important for my actors to wear more simplistic. This is because of its ability to be more relatable to the audience and help convey the small-town ideas that are in my film. This is in contrast with the idea that my actors were wearing jerseys because that would convey that they were in a more serious environment playing more serious basketball. But if I were to do that it would minimize the realism in the scenes since they are playing on outdoor courts, and it is very uncommon for players to wear their jerseys when playing outdoors. So, by having my actors wear more street and normalized clothing it helps connect with my audience better but also create more realism in the scenes that I am filming.
