Production Blog: Costumes

 This week is the week before spring break. Since we plan to film over spring break we are finalizing the planning and direction of our movie. I spent a bit of time today looking over costumes for our movie. Our movie is a general war-related movie. This means we will need army-type uniforms. I wanted something cheap that was also realistic looking. I scanned through amazon looking at our options. One of the main options I found was a typical fully body army man Halloween costume. Those as expected were quite expensive so I started looking at other options. One of the other options I was able to find was a coat of sort with the design on it. This could work effectively as a cheap option with some dark color pants. Though this project is important we do not want to spend too much money on something we only intend on wearing once. We will all continue to finalize our costumes as this week goes on so we can hopefully film next week. 

An Idea I had for some kind of make-shift admiral uniform. Perhaps we can take an admiral’s hat (which I have in my possession). We would then take a basic suit and wear them both. It would give the impression of an admiral that was trapped in a meeting but called during an emergency. 

We might try to design more costumes for us to use. This proved more fun than I have anticipated.
