DESCRIPTION:
I chose to undertake this project as I feel that it brings together
many of the things that I enjoy within the discipline; fine art painting,
styling, attention to detail and colour. I am hoping that by doing this project
it will broaden my knowledge of the film industry, as I will be working on-set,
and closely with the film department. I will also be learning new skills as a
Costume Supervisor, building up my skill-set in continuity, organisation and
sourcing. Moreover, learning how to use Costume Plot Pro will be a useful sill
for when I enter the industry. This project will also help me develop the
skills I already have in costume design and push me further in terms of my
style of designing and I will hopefully be able to make a mark on the film
through the costume.
Furthermore thinking about the future, I want be a costume
designer for Film and T.V, and this project is a great opportunity to build up
my portfolio for that kind of work.
I will be using two sketchbooks for this project. A small one for
styling which will contain research leading up to the visit of The National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery, looking at
past remakes and paintings, and planning my visit thinking about whether I want
to do something historically accurate or modern. Then exploring a variation of
different possibilities after I have chosen a selection of paintings. I will
plan, source or make the costumes and choose a location for the photograph of
my re-creation.
My second sketchbook will contain all the research on the Film I
am working on. Thinking about; period, colour pallets and setting which will
enable me to design and source or make the final costumes. Also bearing in mind
throughout the limited budget have we have.
I will also be collating a ‘Film File’ which will be produced
mainly with Costume Plot Pro and will contain, budget sheets, continuity
sheets, character breakdowns and everything that will help me to organise my
self for being on set.
Alongside all these things I will be blogging my development, my
initial ideas and research and my final outcomes. I will continuously update my
progress and evaluate the process, finishing the project with a 750 word
Evaluation that will be on my blog.
Finally I have created a work plan, some of which is still vague
as we have no specific filming dates yet but it details every important date so
far, and will be edited on my blog throughout the project.

contextual development of costume and performance design
A3 To further develop the creative,
intellectual and practical applications of research and contextualisation
within a self initiated environment
