Costumes are used to represent a character and emphasize their personality. Clothing choices help determine time zones. If the movie is set in current time costume designers may decide to incorporate current trends.It can represent their social status and tastes. It helps the audience understand each characters relationships to each other. For example, in Mean Girls the three main girls all dress similarly to each other. When Cady first got there she dressed very differently but once she started joining their friend group her style became very similar to theirs.
For our opening we are going to have 2-3 characters. The teenager running away and the parents. While we want the teenager to represent our current generation we also have to use clothing to represent her mental state. Because of that we may consider dressing her with something more casual like sweatpants and a big shirt and messy hair. We want the family to be very traditional so that's how we will dress the parents. We can have both parents in their business attire. Suits and high heels while cooking dinner with aprons. These clothing choices help show the relationship with her parents and the contrast between them.
