PLANNING: CHARACTER PROPS AND COSTUME - CHRIS

In order to gather inspiration for each characters props and costume, I created a board on Pinterest for the character Chris. 

The character Chris is portrayed in the film trailer as a strong, commanding and authoritative character who represents the voice of reason, especially when Aaron is seeking an answer for any connections to his sisters death. Chris wears dark clothing such as a dark shirt, dark coloured chino style trousers, black dark fabric trainers and a dark, thick coloured jumper. Through his clothes he can remain relatively anonymous to the audience, however through his powerful, influential and grand presence in Sydney's life, he proves to play a valuable role in Aaron avenging his sisters death. He is nearer the age of Sydney than Aaron, however with his youthful looks, Chris is portrayed as in his middle to late 20s. He looks cool, sophisticated and confident in his appearance; making him reassured, self poised and mentally strong.

Using Pinterest not only for the character of Chris but also for the whole cast of my film trailer helped me gain a better idea of how each character would dress, act and what props they would use. I have a better idea of what kind of mood they would influence the film trailer, for example a mysterious, illusive, haunting and 'hidden' due to influence of an illegal trade such as trafficking refugees.

Pinterest is a useful as it allows me to collect a vast amount of photographs, GIFs and videos on a particular topic or person in culture and society; I can also follow other people on Pinterest gaining inspiration globally and connecting with people who may have 'pinned' the same photo(s).

HERE is a blog post on how I made GIFs - similar to the format of photos I find on Pinterest and due researching how to make GIFs I can make a GIF with videos and photographs I take whilst filming my film trailer or photographs I have come across on Pinterest; gaining more inspiration.
