Now that Faye and I are getting ready to film, we're thinking about what outfit we should wear, and when we think about costume design, color comes into question. I brought up the color theory notes we had taken back when T Stok taught us about mise-en-scene elements and my partner had no idea what I was talking about. I gladly, and quite proudly, pulled out the notes that I had taken and explained the basics of each color and their meaning.
We decided ultimately NO GREEN. Faye saw that green can symbolize good health and prosperity, and we want NONE of that, so definitely no green in our character's outfit. This also made us think about the colors of the large painting that we debated over earlier. Between darker and lighter colors, we realized that to avoid buying more paint and hurting our wallets, we would use all the paint available to us, except green. We have yet to finish the painting but we will spend the short amount of time I have in Florida next week to do that. We're filming on Sunday however, which means we won't be able to film the part with the painting. When I get back from my trip, that will be the first thing we do.
