Costume design

With previous posts on the mice-en-scene elements of our film opening, we have decided to address the costume for our main actor (the person depicted with OCD).

Given advice from our critique groups, the mice-en-scene of our production will follow the conventions exhibited by people with OCD and would be featured as an association with the mental disorder, these conventions would be a clean, tidy, white shirt, grey/khaki pants, a black/brown belt, and clean shoes.

We wanted to use this costume design as it is clean, modern, yet professional all personal aspects held by our character, we also want to character's appearance and actions to juxtapose the surroundings in the scene before the title of our film opening.

The scene after the title, the character will wake up in their clean white room as they wore white pajamas to bed and the bed sheets are neatly folded and done.

All of these attributes will contribute as they will show the character and his appeals which will be juxtaposition with the scene where he is forced into a situation he dislikes, and the featuring of a clean white room will be his bedroom which shows the environment he likes and thus will convey the message of OCD to the audience so they can understand the character and be introduced to the character and the part of the conflict they will face as the movie/story progresses.

Below I have added sketches done to show the costume design, this will likely be amended to the actor we use and specifications such as the use of glasses or sizes of clothes the actor can fit in.
