Props/ Costume / Make Up

As our planning is coming to it's last stages now, we as a group needed to start thinking about the props we would need to create the setting, the costume our actor would need to wear so that she our character is more believable and also her make-up/appearance.

One immediately thinks of thick black framed glasses when they would read the character description of Jenna. Thick framed glasses connote to the audience that they are to be worn by nerds and bookworms which would perfectly describes our character, Jenna. Furthermore  we also needed to make sure that thick framed glasses suit our actor, as we still want her to look attractive rather than comic; so we did a look test of her with glasses.

For her clothes we first thought of having her wear a black cardigan, over a white T-shirt and blue jeans. We thought of this because it would give her a classy appearance, and also would look very appealing to eyes. However as we got more thinking, we realised that that look would make our character look very mature and someone who is in her 20s rather than her teenage years. Furthermore it wouldn't really go with her characterisation.

So as a second thought on clothes we came up with her wearing a baggy grey hoodie, over blue jeans and converse shoes. The reason of why we decided on this is because, the whole look suits a teenager more. The cause of us choosing a baggy hoodie is due to it being more comfortable. Jenna's character is such that she likes being comfortable with what she does and does not really care about what people think of her as long as she is happy and satisfied with herself. We choose converse shoes as she is artist as well and it would give her more of a casual feel.

Overall, we based her appearance very similar to Rachel McAdams who played the character of Paige Collins in the Romantic-Drama film, The Vow (2012). Paige also is an artist, who likes to be messy and comfortable but due to her having a memory loss in an accident, she finds herself to become the old her which was glamorous. However, we really liked her appearance in a scene after she returns home with her husband, Leo, and states that she is comfortable in that baggy hoodie, which perfectly linked to our character. Additionally we also plan on having our actor tie up her hair just like Rachel had.

Also we want our character to wear a backpack due to her being a studious girl, so a backpack is almost essential for us. Furthermore it is also on our props list as we would need it for our 'Crab shot' in the first scene.
