We are starting filming properly with our actors on Sunday and Helena will later post the e-mail we sent to the girls regarding the details for the day. This post is mainly discuss the costumes for both of the girls.

For Catherine (the girl who is actually dead), we have decided she should wear:
--> Black trousers/ black knee length skirt/ black dress
--> Black tights and shoes
--> Black shirt and cardigan
--> Hair loose and potentially slightly dark make-up with a pale face

We are going to ask the girls what they have and then build on the outfits from there, but that is a rough plan above.

For Mary (the main character) she will wear:
--> Dark blue jeans
--> Purple/black t shirt
--> Ordinary trainers/shoes
--> No specific hairstyle, as this may differ between takes, without breaking continuity
--> Naturalistic looking make up

We want Mary and Catherine's wardrobe to be contrasting to show the difference between the two girls, without making it blatently obvious. We have said to the girls that we will meet with them in a few days to discuss this in detail.

Filming on Sunday will depend on weather, which we have made clear to the girls, but we have also formed a back-up plan, which means we can do some inside shots instead. Nat lives just down the road from the park and so has offered her house in case of rain. The shots we can film as a back-up are...

10) Wide shot of two girls on the bed, laughing and chatting
12) Straight cut into two girls linking arms
13) Close up of Catherine's hand going onto Mary's shoulder
15) Long shot of two girls looking into mirror in the bathroom
16) Mid shot of Mary saying "I wish you'd stop staring at me Catherine"
17) Wide shot of Mary leaning over sink
18) Mid shot of steam rising from sink
19) Over the shoulder shot from behind Mary straightening up words "R.I.P Mary" are written in the steam
28) Close up of Mary screaming
30) Close up of tap and sink
31) Zoom out shot of sink filled with blood

Hopefully we'll have some good weather!
