Hmmm. What to wear?

We didn’t want to make out film opening dark but instead have a sort of light-hearted 
feeling. In order to establish this type of atmosphere, my group and I were 
brainstorming ideas and thought of using primary colors of the color wheel for 
costumes, mostly bright red, yellow, green, and purple fabrics, and wanted a style that 
equates to everyday clothing that will be suitable in hot climates since the setting will 
be in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We received inspiration of these bright colors from the 
American TV show Pushing Daisies. Although this show deals with several dark topics 
such as death, the director established a light-hearted tone through their bright-colored 
clothing in all the characters. Here is a picture of the costume designs we were intrigued 
by.


In addition to costume design, we also wanted to follow the same style of music that 
Pushing Daisies incorporated for sound. The background music was creative a positive, 
happy tone through the use of upbeat rhythms and tunes. Since the music has to be 
original or royalty-free, I was thinking to play some upbeat chords on a piano (that I 
have at my house) or even create a mini background song to use in our opening film. 
However, this may take long, so we are not sure if we will use this method. I’ll let you 
know what we decide.

Bye for now!
