Pre-production documentation

As I am in charge of all Mise-en-Scene elements, it is my job to organise not only costume and set, but also props. Here is a list I created for props, displaying which props need to be used and which scenes they appear in. Each colour represents the four different days over which the film is set.

Costumes for female extras.

To make Amelia stand out as contrasting with the other girls around her, particularly her female friends seen briefly in the film. To create an idea of what the extras should wear, I created a mood board of stylish, bright clothes. In one particular shot including two of Amelia's friends, both will too be wearing black coats, which portray how they are all in the same boat at school and education wise. I wanted also to create the idea that the education system sees students as exactly the same, and individuals aren't always noticed.

Contemporary winter clothes taken from current magazines etc, displaying what extras in the film may wear.

The costumes represent femininity, and youth, and the extras should appear stylish - a great contrast to Amelia who wears similar clothes daily, looking boring, dull, and washed out.
