Depicting the tone of a scene doesn't just rely on lighting, editing, or color theory. It also relies on costume and makeup design. It is going to be especially important in mine when communicating the emotions and feelings of the characters and what they represent. I used an app called Combyne to piece together the outfits, and drew inspiration from makeup looks on Pinterest. For this blog posting, I'm focusing on the representation through costume and makeup of depression.
Not much effort will go into the outfit choices of this character, and will be designed along the lines of this. This is because depression often times leaves a person unable to take care of themselves, depending on the severity. Sometimes it'll leave you in the same clothes for days at a time because they are comfortable and there is no energy to leave the bed, shower, change clothes, or do basic hygiene and self care things like leaving your room to eat or putting away dirty dishes in your room because you managed to get up and eat but not bring the dishes back to clean them and put them away. For this look makeup wise, there will be little to no makeup. Any makeup that may be there will be slightly messy and smudged, some areas gone entirely, due to being unable to properly take care of themselves. But for the most part, will probably have no makeup.
