Production Blog: Costumes and Curling Irons!

    This weekend, I began filming my movie! Unfortunately, I did not get to film any of the night scenes for my film. I had a few moments of free time, so instead of filming a scene that involves makeup, I utilized my time to film scenes that did not involve any excess props. The first scene I filmed was the ground-level shot of the babysitter getting out of the car.  I also filmed some of the scenes that the little child appeared in since I had time at home with my sisters. The last thing I filmed was the closeup of the babysitter ringing the doorbell. When I had the time, I went online and made a word document of what I wanted each character to wear during the scenes. I included screen shots of this document in this blog. I planned out the costumes on this document and the makeup is assumed to be natural unless I write otherwise. I made sure to include pictures of everything from the shoes all the way to the necklaces of each character. Of course, I will continue filming my movie and finish it up by next weekend at the longest. There is not much more for me to set up in order to film.

    My next goal will be to film my whole movie and make sure all my scenes are perfected. I would like each scene to be filmed exactly how I imagine it to be in my head. The most prominent image I have in my head is how my "Barbie statue" will look. All of my characters have minimal makeup, but this statue has to look made up and 'disguised'. I will also include the small detail of the fact that this make-up will supposedly be put on by a killer, following the plot of my movie. Therefore, I will put on the make-up messily and not perfect, because even the smallest details will contribute to the theme of the movie. I made a page to demonstrate how I will want to make my sister (who is playing the statue)-look. Once I get her make-up right, as well as perfect the scenes in my mind, I will begin my editing process. But for now, I will work on gathering my media before piecing it together!
