Romeo + Juliet (1996)

In this adaptation of the Shakespeare play the costumes and set almost alter the perceptions of a character and change the outlook on a performance. because the play is set in another era an audience can respond with it better in my opinion. Colleen Atwood, set designer. and this was to be costume designer Kym Barrett's first film she went on to expand her career on films such as the matrix trilogy and Spiderman. Below I have included images and video clips from the film displaying the costumes and set.

Bath Trip Photographs

During a three day trip in march I visited the city of bath. along with this trip we as a group visited the fashion museum, the roman baths and the royal crescent. The most informative part of the trip was the fashion museum where I was able to view all the historical costumes as well as some designer pieces. our trip included an amount of time in the achieves where I could see up close the amount of effort and details put into these garments.

Newcastle Film and Comic Con 2014

This year the first ever Newcastle Film and Comic Con was held in the metro arena. I used my Poison Ivy from Batman costume as my cosplay for the event and my friend chose to go as Rick Grimes from season four of The Walking Dead, made with my help using aging and distressing techniques. The event housed a number of merchandise stalls, special guests and live talks, but my favourite part was how I was able to see how everyone had made their costumes. There was a wide variety of character costumes on display, which allowed me to see the market of how costume can influence an event such as this. below I have included a number of images displaying my own costume, as unfortunately, due to the crowdedness of the event I failed to collect images of other costumes.
