Production: Re-Shooting Day 2 // Alicia's Costume

In the screenshot below is one costume worn by Maddy as she plays Alicia in my film. In the shot we can see she is wearing dark grey/black trousers, a purple top and black boots. Just as with Michael's clothing, the colours aren't too bright but muted enough that the audience should get the reading that the film is subscribing to the conventions of apocalyptic films i.e. the costume. There's nothing too feminine about the clothing which suggests that the character is more masculine and practical: both are attributes given to characters in  sci-fi films, no matter what gender.


In the second photo is Alicia's second costume. The only difference with this costume is that she is wearing a plaid shirt over a black top. Again, the colours aren't too bright and because of this it makes the character much more easily camouflaged and thus the clothing is particularly suitable for the nature and actions of the characters trying to survive in my film. In addition to this costume, the character wears several necklaces (to signify that she holds feminine values and that the apocalypse hasn't happened yet) and a black coat.
