Production Process of Portfolio Project

                    

                       Welcome, Welcome, and Welcome Back! Today, we will begin the production process for 'Only Mine'. From now on, my blogs will begin to discuss all the components of the filming and/or editing process of my production. However, today we will focus on the costuming process for each character. 

         Costumes are one of many tools that allows the director to tell the story. Costumes help communicate the details of a character's personality to the audience. Additionally, costumes help each actor/actress transform into new and believable people on screen.  

       You might be wondering, "What else can costumes convey about a film production?" Costumes can support the style of your production, help tell the story of your film, and distinguish between major/minor characters. All of these allow your audience to connect deeper with your film. Your audience is able to identify the trend of your production and see how each character adds to the plot. Costumes play a bigger role in productions than most people know! Without costumes, the audience is unable to connect each character with the storyline. 

Here are some websites you can check out for further information on the importance of costumes in production:
