1. Name the production and the costume designer.
The production name is
Cinderella 2015 film. The costume
designer is Sandy Powell the 3 time Oscar winning designer. She was in charge of the costumes for the
film.
2. 2. What costumes did you like best? What was done
well? shape, color, texture, etc
I
like Cinderella’s ball gown. The ball
gown design was inspiration from the Disney animated film in its colors and
shape. The shape of her gown made her
look like she was floating when she had to run away from the ball when the
clock stroke 12. For the color of her
gown it was a great matching for the evening event especially since she looked
like she was floating in her gown the light blue represented the sea and the
texture for the calm of the sea as a ship floats on it. I believe that the collection of this shape,
color and texture combination brought out the beauty of Cinderella’s character. According to the report about how the costume
for the ball gown is that it took 18 tailors and 500 hours to make each
dress. There were 9 versions of the
Cinderella gown that was designed each with more than 270 yards of fabric to
use. Now it makes sense on why it looks
like she was floating in the movie, it’s because of the amount of fabric used
to create those layers for the gown.
- Are the costumes right for the
play? In period and style? For the theme of the play?
From watching the
movie and researching about how the costume was created, yes the costume was
right for the play, even though the designer wanted it to focus on the 1950
Cinderella costume outfit. My
observation and critique towards the costume it’s a combination of 1950 and
today’s character moderation's. The theme
of the play portrays the character of the Cinderella in the costume she
wore. She has a personality that made
her live in a fairy tale world.
