    Laura Malinen 2017 DRAWING COSTUMES, PORTRAYING CHARACTERS Costume sketches and costume concept art in the filmmaking process MA thesis Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture Department of Film, Television and Scenography Master’s Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television Major in Costume Design 30 credits Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Sofia Pantouvaki and Satu Kyösola for the invaluable help I got for this thesis. I would also like to thank Nick Keller, Anna Vilppunen and Merja Väisänen, for sharing their professional expertise with me. Author Laura Malinen Title of thesis Drawing Costumes, Portraying Characters – Costume sketches and costume concept art in the filmmaking process Department Department of Film, Television and Scenography Degree programme Master’s Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television. Major in Costume Design Year 2017 Number of pages 85 Language English Abstract This thesis investigates the various types of drawing used in the process of costume design for film, focusing on costume sketches and costume concept art. The research question for this thesis is ‘how and why are costume sketches and costume concept art used when designing costumes for film?’ The terms ‘costume concept art’ and ‘costume sketch’ have largely been used interchangeably. My hypothesis is that even though costume sketch and costume concept art have similarities in the ways of usage and meaning, they are, in fact, two separate, albeit interlinked and complementary terms as well as two separate types of professional expertise. The focus of this thesis is on large-scale film productions, since they provide the most valuable information regarding costume sketches and costume concept art.

When, where and how their interaction and origin is begun? There should be no glamor and red carpet when The Lumière brothers short films like Workers leaving the Lumière factory, The Gardener, Baby’s Breakfast on the birth of cinema in 1895. However, we notice that artificially costumes are tailor-made for A Trip to the Moon in Georges Méliès and D. W. Griffith’s Intolerance. Suddenly, it adds the aesthetical and modernist elements into the blood of cinema beside the raw-realism of how the daily life of the common people is represented on the silver screen. Some kinds of bourgeois ideology and middle class value is enhanced. It is so unbelievable that some ordinary actress like Mary Pickford transforming into a movie star after beautifully dressing up. Not only the audience feel the power of movie magic but also the fashion magic. This paper explores the different perspective of movie and fashion in terms of fashion and film costumes, movie stars icon, fashion trends influenced by movies, and how fashion designers changes the look of cinema as well, etc. Keywords: ideology, movie images, stardom, fashionability Introduction Cinema is somehow like a showcase of fashion. General audiences are fans of movie stars not just because of their personal charisma, but because of the fashion they wear.

  • Scene II. Creative Contexts All Hollywood Feature Films Are The
    Scene II. Creative Contexts All Hollywood feature films are the product of creative teamwork. Production designers define the ‘where’ – the place and setting of the story. Cinematographers create the visual mood and tone of the narrative. Directors tell the story, making the final decision about everything that appears on-screen. Together with the costume designer, this creative team makes a world – and the people in it – come alive. Scene Two of Hollywood Costume examines creative collaborations between costume designers, directors and actors. In this gallery, you will also see how costume designers work within specific contexts of production: cinematic genres, new technologies and censorship. The first gallery of the exhibition explored the perspective of the costume designer. This gallery is about the situations in which costume designers do their work. Collaborating with Directors The creative relationship between director and costume designer is an essential part of film-making. The four partnerships featured here are among the greatest collaborations in the history of Hollywood. Edith Head is the most famous costume designer of all time. Her career spanned the entire history of the Hollywood studio system, from her first film Wings in 1929 through 11 films designed for Alfred Hitchcock between 1946 and 1976. London-based Sandy Powell began her career working with Derek Jarman before going on to design costumes for such Hollywood directors as Martin Scorsese. Ann Roth has forged a creative partnership with director Mike Nichols over four decades, on both stage and screen. Colleen Atwood has been instrumental in realising Tim Burton’s artistic vision, creating costumes for Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood and Sweeney Todd.
