The costume for our characters are
going to be deliberately casual and normal, they will reflect a typical outfit
of a middle class young English couple who live in Brighton but are not too
fashion conscious themselves or aware of their appearance, whilst appearing
effortlessly attractive at the same time.
GRACE
At the beginning of the film, Grace
is 21 and is at university (with Isaac). She will be dressed in clothes
typically worn by students, such as baggy cardigans and jumpers and jeans or
simple skirts. The weather will be cold as we are filming in October and
November, so she will have to also have a coat or jacket of some sort. We will
be allowing Thea to wear her own clothes for the scenes in which she is a
university student because she is a university student so owns the
appropriate clothes.
However, when Grace grows older and
gets a job, she will be dressed differently in the way that she will have more
dull, grey clothes such as work suits which look slightly shabby and reflect
the fact that her and Isaac’s relationship is on the rocks and they are no
longer the happy, young, free loving couple they used to be.

ISAAC
Similarly to Grace, Isaac will be wearing
student-esque clothes when he is a young student which will reflect his
potential financial struggle that most university students face. He will get a
high flying job in the city, so will start to wear suits similar to Grace’s
although he will look stressed which can be reflected by his costume looking
worn, and we will try and make his face look older and under lots of stress as
him and Grace’s relationship starts to deteriorate due to financial and general
struggles.
