Week 3: Researching Costume Designs

     While we haven't definitively decided what our plot will be yet, we do seem to have a general idea of what our setting will look like.  Because of that, I'm looking into the fashion trends of the 1950's, the era that retrofuturism gets its look from.

(Some of these pictures can't make up their mind if they want to load or not and it's mildly infuriating)

     This is just something of a baseline for what we're looking for in costumes, as it's not just a 50's look we're going for.  It's the future with a 50's aesthetic, so we're going to make things look a little more sparkly and maybe add some funky shoes.  The only issue that may come up is actually finding clothes that fit the look, but Amazon can probably help with that.  Once we find outfits that look good, the only real thing we'll have to worry about it price.  Sil has been experimenting with make-up and trying to find a good look for our theoretical female character.  Right now, we think the film will be about a guy and a girl going on a date, so looking at fashion trends for both men and women will be very helpful.
     Sil and I have been talking more about what the story of our film will be and we'll probably have an outline of the whole film's story done by today.  I plan to discuss this in my next post.  See you then.
