Costume, Hair and Makeup Planning:

For my film trailer, i need my actresses/models to be wearing appropriate clothing for my film. This is because i am trying to create a believable scene where a crowd of students are leaving college, therefore i need to choose outfits which would suit the fashion sense of a 16/17 year old student.

Due to my experience of going to college for the past two years myself along with my results from my target audience poll, i know what most students wear typically most days to college. I know that the majority of young adults my age normally show up in really casual attire, as they want to be comfortable in their lessons all day etc. Because of this, i think it would be best for my actresses to wear something along the lines of jeans and a T-shirt, or leggings and a hoody/jacket etc, maybe with a pair of flats or trainers. These are all very casual, comfy clothes, which are very appropriate for a college-based scene.

These are some examples of typical, causal clothes often worn by teenagers my age. I also know that most of my friends own clothes like these, therefore attaining outfits like this won't be a problem to attain.

Hair styles are also something that i need to consider when filming my actresses and models, because similar the makeup and costume, it needs to be situation appropriate to my college theme. Typically, the majority of my friends wear their hair wavy for college, therefore it would be a good idea to get them to wear it the same for my film. By using their real life every day look, it will appear more believable to the audience, and it will also cause them to be comfortable while getting filmed.

I may get the lesser-main actresses to tie their hair up to look a little more casual, and just have my main character with long and wavy hair, in order to make her stand out against the crowd.

All of these example hair styles are quite messy and out of place; very causal. This is because my actresses are portraying students who have just finished a long day at college, therefore their hair won't be perfect and in place by this time, so i am aiming for a very simple, messy hairstyle.

As well as the costume and hair, I also need to take into consideration the style of makeup that each of my actresses will be wearing. I do not want to go overboard, as they have only been to college. What i mean by this is that it would be inappropriate for them to be wearing a face-full of makeup as if they have been on a night out, because typically, college students don't make that much of an effort. Also, they have just finished a full day of college, so its not likely that their makeup would be fresh and perfect. I think a typical, natural makeup look for girls is foundation, concealer, powder, mascara and eyeliner. Similar to the looks below.

I know that my friends wear relatively basic makeup styles, and i feel as though their general every day makeup looks would fit my film trailer/poster very well, therefore i won't have to get them to branch out of their comfort zone too much in order to fit the standards of my film trailer
