Final Costumes Nothing has really changed since the initial planning of my costumes. To read an in depth analysis of each costume I use, click here . Costumes in General As my film is set among tribes, the audience will need visual identifiers of the tribe members. To do this, I have chosen to dress them in different colours. Not only does it represent a visual marker, but the colours apply meaning to the film, too. White Cloaks This is the kind of outfit  The white cloaks will, obviously, wear the colour white. The reason for this is because it is to create a false sense of purity and allude to Western culture's superiority complex.  To read more about this and the colour white, click here , as there's an extremely in depth explanation as to why I have opted for the colour white. The clothes the White Cloaks will wear may vary. Some will wear dresses, others will wear a white t-shirt and trousers and so on. As they are minor characters they don't need extensiv...

Audience Research: Magazines I conducted research video in which I asked a select group of people questions regarding their consumption of magazines and what they expect from them. The findings of my research will help me understand what the public want from a film magazine which will allow me to apply this to the construction of my own magazine double spread during my ancillary task. I asked the following questions: Are there any particular film magazines that you read or have ever read? If so, which ones. Have you ever read film reviews in non-specialist magazines (such as HEAT, Glamour, cosmopolitan, Grazia etc)? Do you ever read IMDB.com (The Internet Movie Database) for critics reviews? Do you ever read IMDB.com for user submitted reviews? In your opinion, which is more likely to affect your chances of seeing a film; a critics review, or a friends? Why? How important is a positive review in deciding whether to see a film or not? Which magazines do you regularly read (An...
