Production Post - Costume creation + Improvements

For our costume design, our aim was to mirror the style of news reports and look credible. We picked clothing similar to what reporters or interviewees might wear, such as shirts in neutral colors and neat clothes. This choice helped the scene appear believable and professional.

This is a great reference photo to what could be improved:

After the shoot, we spotted areas for costume improvement. We could make the outfits more formal to closely resemble real news broadcast. Also, we realized that colors matter since some appear better on camera than others. Dark, simple colors worked best compared to patterns, a point we'll correct in our next session.

Looking back, I believe our costume choices were a decent start, but improvements are possible. This project showed us that small details, like clothing, influence how professional the scene looks. Going forward, we'll plan our outfits with care and ensure they fit the tone of our mystery film. The goal is to improve the final product to be more genuine and of higher quality.
