Make-Up and Costume

As explained in my 'Initial Ideas' post I intend to use two different costumes, one all black and one all white, to represent the conflicting attitudes that the lead character is torn between. I want to keep the costumes as minimal and plain as possible both to keep the focus on the performer and to emphasise the binary opposite ideology as much as possible. Below is an image (minus the hat) of what I imagine the costume will roughly look like, and the same but in black for the other costume.




















After looking online I have found a few ways to recreate the look of a stubble beard using make-up and other materials and before shooting I will test these techniques to see how convincing they look. I will also have Phil's hair styled differently for each outfit; for the white I intend to have his hair combed and smart looking whereas in the black costume his hair will be messy and unkempt - further reinforcing the opposite ideologies within the song. (As shown above)
