Costume Hair and Make- up
Costume hair and make-up act as and instant indicator of a character's personality, status & job.


Facial Expressions
Facial expressions provide a clear indicator of how someone is feeling. A close up camera shot would make the facial expression the most important aspect of the scene, it highlights the mood for the moment.

Using a wider shot would not give a clear view of the characters emotions, however in a group shot you should still be able to get the mood from the variety of facial expressions. It is important to take into consideration the positioning of the characters & objects within a frame.


Lighting
Lighting & colour can be used to achieve a variety of effects.

Low Key Lighting

• Created by using only the key & back lights. 

High Key Lighting

• Movie filler lights are used. 
• Lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes.
