Planning: Costumes

Costuming is another important element of the production process for this film. Along with makeup, costuming will allow us to make our characters look younger or older. Therefore we have selected certain styles and types of clothing to convey the girl's age in each scene. For the scenes in which the character is between the ages of 14-15, we will be dressing our actress in clothes such as hoodies, baggy jumpers, leggings, skinny jeans and trainers. This style of informal clothing conveys immaturity and therefore youthfulness. We will also be choosing outfits that feature brighter colours as they also express the characteristics of a younger person.

For the scenes in which our character is 17 years old or older, we will be dressing our actress in much more mature clothing. This will consist of darker colours and more revealing clothes such as crop tops and ripped jeans. We will also have Molly wear jewellery and heels in order to express her maturity and new found individuality that is common within this age group. We will also be choosing outfits that are current and trendy in order to allow our audience to relate to the protagonist.  

We will also be dressing our supporting cast in a similar way depending on the age of the protagonist. For example Nadia, the actress playing the best friend, will have to be dressed in a similar way to Molly as the characters are both of a similar age with similar personalities.
