Costume

The costume for our characters are going to be deliberately casual and normal, they will reflect a typical outfit of a middle class young English couple who live in Brighton but are not too fashion conscious themselves or aware of their appearance, whilst appearing effortlessly attractive at the same time.

GRACE

At the beginning of the film, Grace is 21 and is at university (with Isaac). She will be dressed in clothes typically worn by students, such as baggy cardigans and jumpers and jeans or simple skirts. The weather will be cold as we are filming in October and November, so she will have to also have a coat or jacket of some sort. We will be allowing Thea to wear her own clothes for the scenes in which she is a university student because she is a university student so owns the appropriate clothes.

However, when Grace grows older and gets a job, she will be dressed differently in the way that she will have more dull, grey clothes such as work suits which look slightly shabby and reflect the fact that her and Isaac’s relationship is on the rocks and they are no longer the happy, young, free loving couple they used to be.

ISAAC

Similarly to Grace, Isaac will be wearing student-esque clothes when he is a young student which will reflect his potential financial struggle that most university students face. He will get a high flying job in the city, so will start to wear suits similar to Grace’s although he will look stressed which can be reflected by his costume looking worn, and we will try and make his face look older and under lots of stress as him and Grace’s relationship starts to deteriorate due to financial and general struggles.
