Costume Influence

We based our costume for Francesca on Prue Sorenson from the TV drama Bouquet of barbed wire. For Francesca as we said before we wanted to portray an innocent girl by making her character wear more natural coloured clothing. We wanted to show she was a soft, gentle and innocent character. This is similar to the character of Prue Sorenson.

We thought that the hair of Prue was very natural; it shows that her character isn’t interested in her appearance as much as to her personality. We also felt that it also gave an element of innocence as she seems to not followed the trends with hair straighteners and curlers. We thought that this type of hair would go well with Francesca and the character we wanted her to play.

The Clothing of Prue is also very important in creating her character. The clothes she wears are very earthy, delicate and create a sense of vulnerability about her. We can see in the picture of her here she wears a dusty pink cardigan which we can infer means that she is young and delicate. The pearls around her neck could also indicate wealth. We wanted to create the same kind of look with Francesca.

We Costumed Francesca to wear a light grey coat, and denim jeans. This is casual wear to carry out normal day tasks. We feel that we have created the character she plays very well and the costume played a very important role in establishing her character. We were able to make her character look innocent, and pure. This will also help the audience connect with her and see parts of her in themselves.
