These our photos of where we will be filming. We will be cleaning up the setting, so will be posting more pictures soon. We chose it because it is set as a staging house within our mafia film. This means that it wouldn't be very flash and clean. A staging house is where the mafia make there plans and meet people. We plan to film the first scene in the office upstairs, and the poker scene in the cellar downstairs. Obviously needs tidying up a bit.

Costumes - By Kirsten Barman

This is the general idea for most of the male costumes in the film. They are wearing suits or shirts or waistcoats. Mainly in the colours of black and white, but some may be grey. This was common during the 1920's and extremely common to the mafia gangsters, and is one of the ways we instantly recognise mafia gangsters in films. The style was loosley based around Sonny Corleone from The Godfather.







This is the Costume i have designed for Marylin Johnson. Her character comes into the story in the 1940'sand eventually marries Marco Ramone. She is still quite young so i think she would be quite stylish and fashionable. In the 1940's wealthy women wore knee length dresses with V-necklines and long, hourglass style coats. Many of these styles came from designers such as Christian Dior and Coco Chanel.





Luciana Messina's costume is a little harder to design. There aren't many pictures or sources on the internet from which i can see what clothing was like in the 1920's. Her dress is based around a "flapper" design, young women in this era were often called Flappers because of their hectic lifestyle, they would drink and smoke, party untill late and even drive cars, which in previous years was unheard of. Even though in the scene we have she will be serving drinks, i still think she should still have an air of glamour and sophistication about her. The red dress will also enforce the "Female Fatale" idea.
