All Dressed up

Edith Head holds the record for the most oscars by a single women, 8. She gained these mainly through costume design. Most of these came during the 50's and she became a very popular costume designer. She designed many stand out dresses and clothes and whenever a movie she designed came out people would look for the clothes she designed or made. A costume on a character can change the audiences view point of that person or thing. They can make a character look interesting, good, funny, bad, evil, and can make the audience think differently of that person. The costume design will obviously change when the current year or time has changed so the costume can match that era. if you don't match the correct costume with the correct time the movie wont have a good look or feel to it. Colors in a costume can also show the characters mood or tone in a movie or it changes the characters role or how the character can stand out from the rest of the characters. And finally certain clothes will show a characters certain belief or certain culture that they are in. Costumes are one of the most important things in a film and if they are done right they can make or break a movie.
