Costume in my film

Our film is going to be in the 'Post Apocalyptic' genre of films. Therefore the costumes we will be using will not be modern or in any good state at all as a result of this. Depending on what point in time my film is set in, it will massively affect the choice of my costumes. Such as if it is decided that we want to set our film in the future than we will need futuristic looking clothing. If our film is set in a present apocalypse of our time then the costumes can be relatable however the clothes could be mangled in appearance in order to give the audience an impression that the characters are actually going through a struggle their clothes haven't sustained themselves well through the obstacles faced. Or the costumes could be specifically suited to the climate/environment my group members are living in. For example the costumes in the film 'The Road' consists of warm clothing which is a big coat, scarfs, a beanie hat, boots for warmth in the snow and gloves. Furthermore, they have make up on their faces conveying the idea that they do not bathe much as they don't have the resources they once had before the apocalypse began.

The makeup idea I have to put forward is a white makeup which makes characters look pale. This paleness could represent a lot such as sleep deprivation, dehydration, and starvation.


Camouflage costumes will be used in our film to match the Sherwood pine scenery which is in a forest. Also, wearing boots showing the character is suited to their environment.
