COSTUME MAKE UP AND PROPS!! 

Costumes:


We decided that we defiantly wanted the husband to be wearing a wife beater, we are going to make it look stained with beer and food smudges. we want him to look this as his character doesn't care about his appearance, he's in a low paying job and is slob like. We will show the contrast to this in the wedding he'll be wearing a nice suit as he's the groom, he'll look clean shaven his hair brushed and slicked whereas when he's the abuser he'll have messy stubble and messy hair. He won't be wearing any make-up he'll be looking natural however we may add some make up around his eyes to make him look tired by adding some black eyeliner and smudging it. The make-up on the wife will take awhile we're going to have to make her look extremely tired, huge bags under her eyes with bruises or cuts on her body/face. i have approached a girl i know who does a make-up course if she may be able to help us, if not we'll learn how to do it!  We want to put her in males clothing, we did this as its another way to show how he 'owns her' not even allowed her own clothes, we will go with a males white top, for her it'll be a dress but a short one - we have chosen to have her in a white top as white symbolises purity and in this she is a victim who hasn't done anything wrong. In our film we'll have a telephone as a prop, we want a landline phone as our wife character wouldn't be allowed her own mobile as he doesn't have that level of trust in her! but we want one that can clearly show caller ID we will be using my home phone to do this! We also need two rings for the wedding scene, they will be the harder things to get as wedding rings are a little out of our price range however I think we will be able to sort it out.
