Mise en scene

This post will talk about the costume, props, make -up and hair style we chose.

Costumes
As the planning, for the first part of our video, we chose Bronte 3 different costumes which the style are gothic and victorain.

 Costume 1

 

Costume 2

 Costume 3

From those 3 costume, we chose 'Costume 1' for the final costume which she is going to dress up.  The reason we chose this dress is that this dress is suit the victorian era style which is long, go over her body and delicate rather than the short white dress that we could see her feet and the black dress.

 

This is a problem of the dress. We borrowed it from performing art department of our college, and the size of costume is not the same as Bronte's. But for the filming of this part, we are not going to film her from back,  so the audience will not see this problem in the video.

Thomas's costume is a suit, a white shirt, black jacket and a black trousers that accord with the style of gentleman in victorain era and also this costume go well with Bronte's dress. This is Thomas's own suit, so we have not have the size problem as Bronte's dress.

 

 Final costume choice for the 'Painting' part

This is a dress for the dancing part that is a short dress, so she could jump and dance easy.


Props

Painting Frame was chose for the 'Painting' part of the video. The frame was used when Bronte step out of the painting to the real world.

Candles was chose for the representation a gothic Florence style. The candles we used in the video were brought from a shop in the town centre, those candles have silver base. The stars could be represented by those candles which is small but very light in the dark, and this also could add a atmosphere to our video.

Make-up
We used the make-up as our planning.
Bronte has nature make-up when she dress as a victorian lady. We only used foundation and lip gloss. And for the performance, we have not follow our planning using a strong make-up, we only used light nature make-up which is the same as the 'Painting' part.


Hair style
By following our planning. For the 'Painting' part, I made her a victorain era style what I found the tutorial on blog http://theladysguide.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/victorian-hairstyle-for-medium-length.html. Because Bronte's hair is very long so I made her hair go together on the back which still looks the similar.

 

 For the dancing part, we just let her hair loose, so she looks more energetic, florence's style and also it is easier for her when she is dancing, that her hair style would not change much during the filming.
