Blog Post #20 - Decisions for costuming

 When I was considering the costuming for my characters I had a couple of options. One option that I thought of doing was to make James have some sort of police officer outfit in order to show that he was a police officer that had authority to arrest D.L for his crimes. After further consideration I decided to not use this idea and to instead have James wear casual clothing that a normal person would wear. My reasoning for this is because in my film James will be shown getting out of bed and someone wouldn't usually go to bed in their police officer uniform. Another reason for the change in outfits is because instead of making James a police officer I instead decided to make James a normal person with a normal job who will want to catch D.L and after catching him will give him to the police in order for the police to arrest him for all of the crimes that D.L has committed.

As mentioned before in a previous blog post, D.L will have a full black outfit with a black mask in order to represent the stereotypical criminal outfit that most people imagine when they think of a criminal. D.L's partner in crime and driver will also wear a similar outfit to this outfit because since he is also a criminal he has to hide his identity and blend in with the time of day which will be night time in my film.

  CCR #3- How did your production skills develop throughout this project?    My creative approach was a presentation. Production skills are an important part of creating films. This is because having better production skills can make a film better and more entertaining. Without good production skills, a film may not look very realistic, and a film might not be as entertaining as it was originally intended to be.   Production skills can range from anything between having good camera shots, having costuming that fits with the character s role, adding proper score and sound effects, recreating sounds as re alistic as possible with foley, and having props that fit with the storyline.   My production skills have developed in beneficial ways while working on this project. Before filming my project, I originally didn't have much thought on the importance of score in films and before I filmed, I thought I wasn't going to use score. After filming my op ening scene, I...
