During Summer 2010/2011 I had the oppurtunity to work as a costume maker/sourcer for two films with It's My Shout.
It involved various other resposibilities including;
working closely with actors and crew
preparing the correct costumes
communicating with designers and actors
continuity
It was a useful and enjoyable experience that has encouraged my interest in working on film and t.v.
The two films, Be A Man (2010) and Monster (2011) were broadcasted on BBC Wales.
For the first film I won the award for the best costume trainee, this gave me confidence and drive to work harder and achieve a career in costume.
For this project we were put into groups of 2/3 and set about the task of designing and making a costume for a Pantomime Dame.
The panto we were given was Jack and the Beanstalk, I designed the costume, considering character, setting, scene and story. All these factors influenced the end result, which i felt captured the original designs.
We had the oppurtunity to showcase our costumes in a Dame Beauty Pagent and Award Ceremony.
