Costume design is a powerful storytelling device : 

They play a pivotal role in the storytelling process, from the size of your shots to the way you dress the set, and one such element you should never ignore or leave to chance is costume design. The way you dress your characters is just as important as how you light your scene or direct your actors.




Costumes that communicate :

Costumes speak volumes. They can tell audiences where and when something is taking place, who your character is, what's going on in a scene, and what is going on in the story. Costumes give your characters their persona and your story visual depth, so it's not enough to have your actors wear the clothes they came to set with. Take some time to develop the costumes of each character and see how you can communicate story elements with your choices.

Make them pop : 


Another thing you'll want to consider when designing costumes is color, not just of the clothes you'll be using, but of the sets  they'll be appearing in. You'll want to choose materials that bring your actors out from the background, rather than blend them into it.

Keep styles consistent : 

 Keep that in mind if you're designing several different costumes for a single character. Each of them will have their own unique style and any deviation from it will most likely be obvious and confusing.

This means that you memorize just the actual words without any inflection or rhythm attached, so when it comes time to change up the way you say it, you won't be thrown off by having to deliver your lines in a different way. http://www.cinecraftacademy.com Follow us on https://www.facebook.com/cinecraftacademy https://www.instagram.com/cinecraftacademy/ Manage your time on set Don't waste time between takes; prepare for the next one. You could go over your lines, go over the blocking so you know exactly where you're supposed to be, and get into character. However, Bruno says don't go 100% with getting into the right state of mind for the scene. He advises t
