Mila's Costume Design

 An essential part of building the mise-en-scene for this opening would be designing our main character's costume. As I've shared in previous posts, I want her to have this ragged look. Since she's been out in the wild for a year and a half already, she obviously won't have any clean clothes. Her clothes should reflect her past life subtly. We know she was only about 12-13 years old, so her clothes should be quite small on her. I might want to give her a big t-shirt, because she could've gotten clothes from her parents. 

After doing some brainstorming, I decided that I want her to have baggy clothes with very neutral colours. I feel like having neutral and "bland" colours would make more sense because of her survival situation. Someone who's living on the beach in an abandoned world wouldn't be wearing bright orange or neon colours. Here are some inspiration I found online. 

I really like the left-most outfit. Both the top and the pants have a very baggy look. The colours are also dull, but for Mila's costume, I think colours like blue, green, beige, brown, and white would fit best. Her costume should "blend" into her environment in a way. 

That's all from me! Stay tuned for more.
