Costuming in Forsaken

Greetings bloggers! Before we start filming, I would like for you guys to really know the kind of costuming that will appear in our film! As I have stated in the previous blog post, we won’t be doing anything special with the clothes to be exact. This film opener is more of a relaxed chill atmosphere, mainly what you typically think of a friends hangout now. 

We’re starting with mainly casual outfits to keep things simple and relaxed, matching the modern kind of vibe of the hangout spot where the film opener takes place! We as well plan for the protagonist to wear white attire with denim jeans! In this case, this outfit represents the ease of the Kendrick’s interactions in this setting. Alongside this, we’re introducing vibrant colors to highlight the energy and excitement of the mall adventures! These warm tones will play a significant role in important scenes, ESPECIALLY in the Arcade, helping to create the lively atmosphere that ties everything together!

Compared to Kendricks's white outfit, his headphones add a fun touch to his look! Throughout the opening scene, he wears them as he strolls through the mall, immersing in the heavily fun atmosphere while enjoying every moment! You may think the headphones are just for him to look cool right? Well actually no. The headphones aren’t just for show, but they highlight how much he loves music and how it connects him to his surroundings. Whether he’s nodding along to the beat or simply enjoying the sounds, it’s clear that music plays an important role in his life. This small detail helps to show his playful carefree personality and deep appreciation for the little things, like spending time with friends and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Thus, the headphones symbolize his unique way of embracing the world, blending joy, music, and friendship into his everyday experience

The arcade itself in our filming location is FILLED with bright, colorful lights, and by incorporating similar warm colors into our outfits, we are making sure that we aim to make the mall scenes more dynamic and engaging! Our goal is to capture the thrill and excitement of the character’s experiences, and by using these bold warm colors, we can bring that energy to life! We look forward to sharing more about this exciting project in our next blog post! See you on the flip side!
