Meeting in the idea store discussing; setting, props and costume






On Saturday, our group members had a meeting with everyone that will be in our film opening. This helped a lot as we discussed the set roles the girls will have and what they will be wearing. Due to the fact that the actresses will all be best friends, we made them very different. 
Fahima will be the sophisticated girl. This is a ''before'' picture and I will upload a picture of how she will look on the day of filming to show the difference, as with the rest of the girls. Fahima will be wearing glasses, have her her let down and straightened. The glasses will show she is intellectual. Her costume will be very smart, black trousers and a shirt. She will have books in her hand showing she is very driven and motivated to do well in her studies. Fahima's make up will be very minimal consisting of just mascara and a neutral colour lip gloss.


Milly will be the glamorous, risky, girly girl type of character. She will not be wearing headscarf as we will do her hair in loose curls, very volumised and big. She will be wearing very heavy eye make up, smoky eyes as well as wearing fake eyelashes to define her eyes. Her lips will be bright red but we will show a close up of this in the department store. This will show she takes great care and time on her appearance, as many girls do. Her nails will be painted pink and Milly will be wearing heels. Her costume is a lacy dress, showing she likes to take risks and look different to your typical Asian girl out there. Milly will be wearing really big earrings and have lots of  bangles on one arm, however the other hand will just be the friendship bracelet showing that although all these girls are different, look different, have different interests and hobbies, they have this close connection and bond like sisters. 


The final girl who will be in our opening is Aysha. She will be the sporty/ tomboyish one. She will not be wearing headscarf and her hair will be in a simple pony tail. Her costume is very boyish as it consits of tracksuit bottoms and a hoody. She will be wearing converse trainers which are very current. She will have a JD shoulder bag or a Just Do It bag. 


Her make up will also be minimal however she will look very nice. 


We as a group took quiet a while thinking about outfits and costume for the girls. This was very important as we are trying to break the stereo typical views of Asian girls, which is why none of the girls are going to be wearing headscarf. The girls are contrasting which we will be connoting through costume, however the way they act with eachother will show the closeness between the three. 


The friendship bracelet is very significant as in chick flicks a boy will always play a massive part. Although no one should get in the way of best friends, especially boys, here they will. 


The male actor who where going to have is going to be Ruhel. He is supposed to be the potential ''heart throb'' as he is good looking. Ruhel's costume is going to be very typical designer garments as boys love wearing. 
Also Ruhel has got dark under eyes, so we will be putting light foundation on him to give him that youthful essence and glow.
