Today in College plus time, we created ties for our costumes
for DFTA. We used a material that is able to be painted and then washed and
re-used so that we are able to use it again another time and/or for another
production.
We made our own ties so that we could make them comically
oversized. We chose to do this as some school kids make their ties really short
and fat because they think that It looks “cool”.
Doing this was also a cost effective way of making sure that
everyone had the same tie, which meant that we all looked like we came from the
same school.
Having a realistic looking costume is really important for
the audience to believe in our performance and therefore enjoy it more. It also
allows us to get into character easier as we will look the part, which, again,
makes for a more realistic performance for the audience.
However, My tie cracked after the paint dried, I think that I
may have used too much paint. This meant that it looked messy and tacky and not
realistic at all. So I had a look on google and amazon to try to find a purple
and black tie, and fortunately found one for a low price. This meant that I
could buy this tie and then fit in with the other cast members.
