Portfolio Project: Mise-en-scene (Costuming and Props)

 




Welcome back to the blog! Today I'm covering my team's costume and prop progress for our short film opening. 

I'm going to preface this blog by stating that I am not the person in charge of costuming and dress for the characters. One of my team mates had a pretty fun idea for color coding the characters and wanted to invoke different feelings from each of them. Our antagonist will be wearing mostly black, kind of giving off a mob boss vibe with leather, black slacks and dress shoes. Our main character will be wearing a couple layers including a red shirt and a trenchcoat/jacket very similar to Peter Quill from Guardians of the Galaxy.



As for our props, we will be using 2 briefcases, one black and one baby blue, for the characters to exchange. The difference in color exemplifies the two different personalities present both between Vienna and the antagonist AND Vienna and her later self. When Vienna exchanges the suitcases and leaves, she literally leaves her silly persona at the table along with her light blue suitcase and picks up a darker, more serious persona along with the black suitcases. Other props might include an earpiece for Vienna later in the opening and (if it counts) a van/big car for her driver to pick her up in.
