Hair, Makeup and Costume

Hair, makeup and costume are the key techniques that make this advert a success.

Costume-
This image is of both of our actors dressed up in 1930's style costume.
The female is dressed in a classic Aline dress with patterned lace for that era and has complimented this dress with a cupcake apron to make her look more like a housewife.
The male on the other hand looks sophisticated and older/ wiser than she does, keeping a stern look to show authority.
Accessories-
The female is wearing a pearl necklace which is the kind of jewellery the women of 1930 used to wear, with this we are trying to create realism. Whereas our male actor has glasses again to make him look well educated and intelligent.
Hair & makeup-
With hair and make up, research is key, before we decided which types of costume mode our actors would be styled in. For our female actress we studied styles of hair which complimented the housewife character.
