Periods to be used in Film

Periods to be used stands thus far, after another mind change from the producer. I'm trying to remain calm. Honestly. I am. He is letting me have a pretty free reign on design and so forth.

1700's
1800's
1900's
2000

Each of these corresponds to a season and a mood. And also colour plays a big part in this.

The 18th Century represents Summer. For this I aim to use a material I bought from the Smith Family. A yellow cotton unknown material with a sheen to one side and course on the other side. This will more than likely be a Robe a la anglaise.

The 19th Century represents autumn. For this I will more than likely use my spencer coat. A teddy bear brown chamois and dark chocolate brown velvet collar. This is obviously the regency era.

The 20th Century represents Winter. For this I will use a basic A line skirt in a brown twill and a high collared white blouse. Some thrift shopping may be needed.

The 21st Century represents Spring. For this I will use the actors clothes. What ever bright colours they posses will be used.

I am a little anxious as I have yet to receive any measurements for my actors. As they live far away from me I am relying on them to be somewhat accurate.
