Outfits

     Tomorrow we film, today we collect the wardrobe.

Mika:

    Mika's green jack represent his nurturing for Aba, but it's a mossy-green since he isn't a fit caretaker for her. He's still far too young to be responsible over another human being, though he tries his best, it isn't enough due to circumstances. Not shown here is his white button up (It's at the dry-cleaners), which is representative of the multiple jobs he has to work in order to take care of himself and Aba. The pants add to his employment. Mika works constantly nearly everyday, and doesn't have time to change into casual clothes, just putting a jacket over his work semi-professional clothes. I'm not sure if the photo fully shows his shoes, but they're a little beat up. Most of his wardrobe emphasizes his place in socioeconomic society as a low-middle class working man just trying to make enough money to take care of himself and his family. As stated before, most of his money comes from his parents' will, but that only covers so much, and most of it is in savings. Poor guy. I created him but I feel bad for the fella.

Aba:

 

    Not much to say about Aba's outfit. It's primarily black to represent her destructive and evil behavior with red shoes to represent the violence. If I were making an actual movie, Aba's outfit would change throughout the falling action, as his brother accepts him for who he is, his clothing would get lighter with more whites and whatnot. Also I'm referring to Aba as a he because of the casting of my little brother, but in my heart, Aba is still a sister. As for Teddy's outfit, I told Teddy's actor (Sunnie) to wear more 90's clothing and sent him Teddy's mood board so that covers that. Teddy wears lighter colors because of his energetic personality.

    As I said before, filming tomorrow. I'm feeling a mix of anxiety and readiness, mostly anxiety. I hope it goes well, but we will see.
