Updated Costumes

Here are some new costume designs by Heather! They are fully annotated and much better than my previous drawings. 

Obviously, this didn't need as much detatil as Snow White's costume, however, it still shows the conventions of Tim Burton films. The cravat and the waistcoat seperates this character from The Brother. We considered giving the actor a mirror as a prop to show vanity. The outfit for male character two is fairly simple. This character dies and isn't an integral part in the plot, and the clothes reflect that as he does not get to wear a waistcoat or cravat. Unfortunatley for the male actors, they also have to wear some make up to give them a paler complexion. 

 Of course costume is very important for characters as what they wear shows who they are; their personality their class, et cetera.
This costume fits in with the conventions of Tim Burton films as it looks akin to an outfit of the Victorian Era, and of course, it is fairly gothic.
I hope you can read that. Red, obviously ties in with the colour of the apple, which is pretty much the most significant symbol in the opening. The white blouse is plain, reflecting the class status of the character. The black lace, shoes, tights and corset add a gothic feel to the outfit as well as showing several histoical contextual factors. The makeup - pale skin and heavy eyeliner add more interest and make the character looks slightly ill, as well as showing natural beauty - another convention of a Tim Burton character. The hair is back combed and brushed upward.

Props needed are; a red apple; a knife and fake blood.
