What do we notice when a person is walking toward us? We notice what are they wearing. That’s how we present ourselves. Sometimes we are wearing sloppy shirts, other times we are all dressed up. We try to communicate through whatever we are wearing at first. We’re more confident when we know in our heads that we look good.

We’ve all seen the work film industries put in the celebrity’s dresses that is because they will represent a character, which is ninety percent described by our wardrobe. We want our characters to be dressed as we want our audience to see them. By choosing their dresses we are making a statement. Their attire decides how the audience is planning on connecting with them emotionally or intellectually. A point of view is formed by our audience simply by looking at the character even before the dialogue comes in. we all knew we hated Voldemort in harry potter and loved Hermoine, again it’s all how the writer wants us to perceive his/her characters.

 

In film production, a big fat part of the cost goes into the wardrobe. What character should dress homeless and what character should be presented as rich. After that every shot clearly indicated what colors, they should be wearing, this is of course according to the lightning in the scene. Every film project decides carefully whom they want to be their costume designer because that single person would be carrying the whole show on his back. It’s just not the dress, what do we add to compliment the dress, what accessories we add, and what kind of makeup would we put on the character. Everything creates a final look. That’s how much thought goes into developing one character.

 

Costume designers start by reading the script that will be created. If the performance is situated in a historical period, the fashions of that time must be researched. The costume designer may want to show a few basic outfit sketches during the initial meeting with the director and the design to stimulate the flow of ideas.

 

This is also a good moment to double-check with the director on the exact number of characters who will require costumes, as any non-speaking characters the filmmaker intends to cast may not be specified in the script.

 

The costume scheme is the job of the costume designer. The costume plan is a list or chart that illustrates which characters appear in each scene, what they're wearing, and how they move around the stage.

 

When the director and production team have approved the costume designer’s preliminary sketches, she or he can draw up the final costume designs. The final designs are fully colorized. They show the style, silhouette, textures, accessories, and unique features of each costume.

 

Once the show opens, the designer’s work is essentially complete. Now it’s normally the job of a wardrobe assistant to make sure that every aspect of the production runs just as the designer intended, time after time until the production close.

 

That’s how much work gets into a character that we judge in seconds.
