KBlog: Behind the Outfit: Costumes

This is where the fun starts, costume design and creationnnn!!!!

Now that we figured out our characters and their background, time to dress them! We want to make the costuming very intentional with colors, patterns, and styles, so let's look for some options:

Sarah

For Sarah, we want to find a very recognizable outfit that she will wear throughout the opening (and rest of the hypothetical film). The best way to do this is to use easily recalled patterns that will be unique only to her. So something like a striped shirt would be perfect. The reason for the clothes to be easily recognized is because Sarah will be wearing this when they get into the car accident, and she will show up in Adam's mind to haunt him, and she will remain in the same clothes to convey that she is dead. These aren't the exact clothes she will wear but we will look through our closets to hopefully find something similar.

Adam

For Adam, he's going to go through a shift in clothing before vs. after Sarah's death. He will wear colors and fun styles when he is happy with her in the beginning, but after the accident and the time skip he will wear muted colors and bland outfits. This mixed with his change in hair and makeup as well will show how Sarah's death has sent him into a mental spiral.

After accident:

I had a fun little detail we can add, Whatever color Sarah's shirt is I want to use as a pop of color in whatever Adam wears after her death. Almost as a way of showing how she consumes his mind and stays haunting him as he searches for revenge for her killer. So, in this example I'm gonna use red because the inspo shirt for Sarah is red:
