Costumes

As we're getting ready to start filming soon, we need to sort out the costumes. Our initial idea for the protagonist was a hospital dress/robe as she would be living in a mental asylum. However, we changed this idea as we thought it was too stereotypical and she wouldn't be living in a hospital, its a mental asylum where she is being watched by staff. I've looked at a film that we have got a little bit of inspiration from called 'Girl Interrupted'. The patients who are in an institution here are wearing normal clothes but they are plain. This is a good idea and we have decided to dress our protagonist in plain clothes as it shows her identity is lost and she has no real personality throughout the film.

This picture of Winona Ryder from Girl interrupted shows she is writing/drawing, keeping herself busy while she is at the institution and she is wearing her own clothes but they are plain and as an audience we see her with no identity, and in the film her identity is lost for herself, she doesn't know who she is. .
