Dance : Costume and Make - up

We want the dancer to look semi - casual, as the crash happens during an average day during everyday life, so there is no need to be dressed smartly. However after looking at underwater fashions shoots, and to help us fulfil the aim of achieving a weightlessness, we want the dress / dresses to be floaty and slightly glamorous. This means light weight and lots of layers is a must have. The dresses found have been similar to those which you may wear on a date night - smart, casual. We feel block colours would work best to contrast with the water. As for shoes, we feel pumps may be the best option to allow the dancers to be comfortable when they are moving. 

To focus more of the attention on the dance and emotions displayed, we want hair and makeup to be very natural - a plain face, with a tiny bit of mascara to make them pop and emphasise emotion. A natural, smokey eye may work well depending on the dress to make it more glamourous. The hair should be floaty, so a loose wave or braid would fit the style we want.

These are really good because it's nice to see we are all on the same train of thought and have a similar vision to how we want it too look. 

I decided to do my own mood board as well on this to have even more images and inspiration to go from. I dunno how helpful it is to anyone, but I enjoy doing them and researching different images and it helps me get a clearer image as well!
