OPENING FILMS - COSTUME

PANTS #1

For this style of costume is to give ideas to the audience that this character is a dancer and have dance clothes on. Indicate to the audience that its about dancing also the colours could be seen easily compare with the features.

SHIRT #2

For white shirt for MC to wear to show that she's the white feature to link in with the story. Show audiences the connection with feature.

#3 Black Shirt is for MC2 to show the difference between them and to link with the features.

Location

DANCE STUDIO in school

Plan to use the dance studio that the school has because one side is a mirror and opposite is a window also outside is a narrow walkway and can create feeling of tension and narrow of space.

LOCATION REPORT
Decide to use the school dance studio because it's easy to access with school and very easy for cast to come.
Also permission for using the place is easy to ask and every cast member know where the location is.

This is a narrow space in front of the dance studio that is use when the MC walk out and meet her mind-self.
I chose this place because of the narrow space to show that there is limited of space between the two characters and the amount of light that can go through the wood fence.

This is the opposite side of the narrow corridor and the lighting is different from each other (both picture are took at the same time). This helps to control the feeling and tone of the film.

This is the side of the dance studio where this is the shot that MC will be walking out after practice.

#1 DOOR

This is the front of the dance studio door when the lights are close. It's a glass door and it reflex the wooden fence opposite itself and this could be used to show to side of mind.

This is also the front dance studio door when the lights are open and we can see that it's different from when the lights are close when the lights are on we can see what's inside the dance studio and we can used this to show difference in characters.

This is the same door but this is took from the inside and when took the photo you can see the outside and no reflection
