costumes, props or make up

Due to the character we want to portray we decided it would be better if we have less make-up and ordinary clothes. The character is from an working class background and so want more typical ordinary clothes implying her emotion, character and her personality.which will helpful in her expression for e.g when she sees the envelope and when she passes around shops.

Costume: Trouser/tight , t-shirt , old black jacket.

make Up: eye-linear, lip stick(light make up)
props: envelope, park bench, paint,ladder,purse. 


In terms of light make-up we just want her to apply pink lip and just eye linear. The reason for eye linear is because when we want to show her nervousness at the end of the scene and as she keeps rubbing her eyes her eye-linear will spread over her eyes, making her facial expression more serious. 
The hairstyle should be simple and not complicated because we want to show her having bad luck and having her hair open should indicate her worries e.g she's not bothered about how she looks as she's having a bad day. 
Shoe: navy blue or black trainers; young people usually between 16-17 prefer to wear trainers which links to their connotation of being  young. Blue and black creates an atmosphere of dark and upset mood.


Envelope : white and brown( any)

















Park bench: 
(ideal)This is type of a bench we would prefer since it will be easy for us to shoot and show the paint falling on her jacket but depending on the park and the amount of benches available we might not able to get benches like this one.

paint: we still haven't decided what colour we want for the painting but it would be better to have a bright colour since our actor is going to wear black jacket. Colours: pink,yellow,white. 
ladder: we will try to borrow from the college but we might not use it depending on the situation. Only when its an emergency for the shoot.
