Mise-en-scene: Costumes

    Although my last blog focused on Jackson and Charles, this one will be focused on the Figment and Charles. To help me envision what I would do for the character's costuming, I had created mood boards for them.

    This mood board is for Charles' costuming. I picture him mostly wearing reds and occasionally some muted colors like sage green or blue-grays to pair with it. Knowing color theory, reds would definately match the true nature of this character, while the greens, blues, and grays would neutralize it until his actual effects had been revealed. I plan to put him in a lot more relaxed and casual clothing, to help establish the ages of these characters and Charles' personality.

    The Figment's mood board, on the other hand, includes a lot more stage-like elements to it. I really liked the idea of him being more elaborate and, for lack of better words, silly. I think if I gave the Figment a very elaborate and different costume I could establish how he only pushes things along, but isnt a part of the story. The use of the colors I put at the bottom of the mood board would also help tie him to Charles since he is already in these colors.
