Set and Costume Design

To represent her youth, I decided to braid her hair. This created a contrast between the hairstyles. I liked how it had an innocent look as you would associate braids with children.

I decided to curl her hair for the second set of shots. This had a much more mature and sophisticated look which represented the ageing well.

I decided to choose different colours to represent the change in time and also the level of maturity. The white is used to represent ‘innocence’ and ‘youth’ which I decided to pair with a dark pink colour to add the feminine element. Perkins stereotypes theory would link here as most people would stereotype these colours to be feminine and youthful.

To show that she had aged, I decided to use black in order to contrast against the white. This also adds a darker element. I then decided to still add pink to keep the continuity, however, I used a more muted pink. This still has the feminine feel but with a much more mature element.

I decided to use more ‘bulky’ clothing to show her age. The knitted jumper along with the big duffle coat connotes comfort and warmth which coincides with her feelings at that time.

I then decided to put her in much more fitted clothing. The movement of the skirt and the scarf represent the lyrics well. They also have a much more sophisticated and mature look

I decided to dress my male actor in dark clothing to represent him being part of the past. The blue jacket contrasts well with the female actresses pinkish coats and represents the genders well. I wanted the clothes to be fairly casual but with a smart edge to them.

I decided to go to many different locations as I feel that it makes it much more realistic. It also makes it much more interesting and visually exciting. I wanted to be by some water as the sun was setting. I decided to go to the Humber bridge however I didn’t want to get the bridge in the background. I wanted it to have a rustic and nature like feel so I filmed some bits near a woody area. I included the train on my storyboard as I anted it to represent her moving on. I decided to go to Bridlington station as it has a much more intricate design and I could also get some shots whilst we were on the train as well.
