Costumes
The costumes used in our film were a blue cape with a hood and a red cape with a hood, with some home-made attachable buttons. These capes were a little too long for the actors at times, as they tripped often but did not fall over. The buttons too caused issues, as they would occasionally fall off if not secured correctly. This meant that the actors had to lift the capes when moving between shots, which was uncomfortable for the actors and lowered morale. The length of the capes was considered and though there were mentions of shortening the capes with pins or scissors, in the end the decision was to leave the costumes as they were, as the current style allowed dramatic shots with the cape billowing behind the actors as they ran or jumped. The buttons were from this point on secured by the crew, as the pins could have spiked the actors and it was quicker this way. However, the costumes would have been improved with added aspects, such as masks, matching boots or some kind of additional costume to wear under the cape, to give the all round appearance of a heroic character. This did not happen during the production of our film due to time and funding constraints, but this has provided insight into what actions the crew must take next time to produce better costumes.
