Planning: Set Design- Costumes & Props

I have included in my 'Equipment' post how I am accessing the costumes that I need to use.

There is no specific theme to my film that involves any type of particular costume, and therefore I felt it was appropriate to let my actors choose their own outfits for each scene. Of course there is a number of outfit changes and so numerous costumes were needed.

In the second scene, Ollie Lea is required to wear gym clothes, to make the scene look authentic. This was the only scene that needed specific outfits, the rest were just ordinary clothing that a typical male would wear. The same goes for my female actor who chose her own outfits.

In terms of extras, I used them because they were convenient, and this involved them turning up to location wearing their own choice of clothing.

The props I used weren't at all specific. I used my own objects to act as props as they were easy to access and therefore I did not have to go through the hassle of receiving permission to use them. For example using laptops in the first and lost scene.

The mobile phone In the second scene belonged to my main actor. This was beneficial as he knew how to use the phone and we had access to it at all times where necessary.
