CODES OF DRESS
We wanted our character's code of dress to reflect her transition from innocent to corruption to disintegration. We wanted to represent this through going from white to black and these colours hold strong connotations. We also did not want and bright colour or patterns as these would distract from the character and the scene. However, we felt that completely white clothes could make it seem unrealistic and be distracting. Even though we definitely wanted for it to get darker throughout we might have to sacrifice the white clothes for verisimilitude, especially when many of the scenes are outside and would need a coat. As long as the clothes weren’t distracting then it would be okay. The darker colours would represent her loneliness with connotations of the dark and the night, being isolated and alone. The darker colours would also contrast with the girls pale face and draw the audience to her face, making them have more of a connection with her.
