Cinderella 2015, costumes:

Cinderella’s wedding dress:Her floor length gown is consisted of a beige colour, long-

sleeves, silk with a floral print to represent the easiness of the princess she was to become. The dress was precisely cut,

sewed, and stitched together to get the elegant, floor length gown look. This makes the target audience more curious when

watching the film because of the calm environment and beautiful atmosphere is creates pulling in all ages from young to

old women and girls. Cinderella’s glass slipper:

Cinderella’s signature slipper, is made of crystals, designed with Swarovski, and based upon a shoe from the 1890s that Powell (the designer &

maker) found in a museum in Northampton. The shoe had a five inch heel and no platform. The fact that Cinderella’s

slipper is crystal, the shape of it makes it impossible to walk in. Swarovski made eight pairs of crystal shoes, however

none was actually wearable.

Cinderella, the ball gown (right);The Dress is a magical symbol that arrives respectful of Cinderella’s dizzy fairy godmother on the evening of the prince’s royal ball. The cobalt gown with a huge skirt, is

composed of more than 12 layers of silk in different shades of pale blue, lavender and turquoise. This type of gown attracts the target audience because it’s most young girls dream to wear a dress like this one, therefore they would find this a

flawless look. Having this makes it seem like it is possible that dreams can come true.

Cinderella’s ball gown:Nine versions were made of Cinderella’s gown, each with more than 270 yards of fabric and 10,000 crystals. To make all 9

dresses, it took 18 tailors and 500 hours to make each dress.

The dress was designed with more than a dozen thin layers of fabric, a petticoat and a

corset.Sandy Powell (the costume designer)

quoted "The gown had to look lovely when she dances and runs away from the ball. I

wanted her to look like she was floating, like a watercolour painting.“

The beautiful flowing ball gown was stimulated by the Disney animated film in

it’s colour and its shape. Swarovski provided more than 7 million crystals that were used

in costumes and 100 tiaras for the ball scene.

Cinderella 2015 step-mother costume:The step-mother:

For most of the film, the step mother is dressed in a citron green shade which is often connected with evil. Her faultless wardrobe adds a sense of intimidation. Her costumes fitted in with the 1940’s

theme. She wore extended evening gloves and standard style jewellery

including large earrings and brooches emphasise the wickedly perfect look she

was to give.Sand Powell the designer commented

“They wanted to give the stepmother a bit of a history, to give her a reason for being the way she was. She was hurt,

bitter, but there was no reason she should be ugly. She was beautiful but

kind of intimidating.”Her evil colours intimidated us all, the

step mother (Cate Blanchett) is meant to look totally ludicrous on the outside and

obnoxious on the inside.

The Fairy Godmother makeup: It was a tinted by hand with big dark eyes and peachy look. The makeup looked like someone from the '60s, to make the godmother as she was one of the oldest characters on set. She had big shining perfect white teeth made for her which changed her look quite radically. The foundation used was a

very pale foundation and she had this flawless finish, however she didn't have glitter like Cinderella because her dress was lighting up and there was so much going on with the dress and she had a huge wig so the amount of flesh

showing was quite restricted. So I just wanted to keep it very clean and very pure-looking and open and lovely.

Cinderella’s (Lily James) makeup: Lily's face was covered with Armani Maestro foundation,

she had MAC cream blush, with a pinkie cream and a pastel Chanel pressed powder.

For the ball: For the ball, she had MAC Antique Gold pigment on her eyelids and Armani Fluid Sheer on her cheeks. Then on

her body she had mixed MAC Strobe Cream with a silver glitter. This was the flawless way for when the light hit

her because her skin glowed.

Cinderella 2015, makeup:The stepsisters makeup:

The stepsisters are actually very attractive; they are not unpleasant

at all. They had teeth made for them to make their teeth a bit

peculiar but that didn't fly with the studio. They had many bows in their

hair however the colours in the costumes were really strong. The designer picked out a fuchsia or a acid yellow for their costumes and used these colours somewhere on

their face or on their nails. Anastasia, one stepsister, had

fuchsia lipstick it was a mix of MAC Candy Yum Yum and MAC

Impassioned. In most of the film, Drizella, the other stepsister had

orange lipstick, it was MAC Morange and Peachstock.

Cinderella 2015, narrative metaphor:Narrative metaphor in 5

minutes:The narrative metaphor of this film in the first five minutes is that the role of a father. The father returns home from yet another trip which he had to go on for his work. Even though she has a mother but not for long which we find out a bit later on in the film is that every child should have a father or at least a father role in their lives.

Some people may find this offensive or not applicable as not

everyone can have a father in their lives, they could find it offensive because they may be a single

parent and are able to manage on their own.

Cinematography, Camera shots:Long shot: at 16 seconds in, Cinderella's parents near to the large house and have taken some time out to spend some family time with their new baby ‘Cinderella’. This is referring the characters, a long shot means they take up almost the full frame height.

Close up: at 2 minutes 20 seconds, this is when Cinderella's dad comes home and gives Cinderella a gift of a butterfly. This is referring to a certain feature that takes up most of the setting.

Weather shot: at 23 seconds, when they all look up to the sky before Cinderella (as a baby) grabs one of the clouds and gives it to her father. The theme is the weather and Can be used for other purposes, for example, to set the background.

Page 12: Cinderella Coursework

Low angle: At 3 minutes, a low angle is used when Cinderella is showing the man he butterfly that she got given b her dad. The low angle is used to make the theme look strong and powerful.

High angle: At 45 seconds, the high angle is used when we look down onto the house of Cinderella’s father (who it belongs to). The high angle is used to show that the subject can be vulnerable or powerless.

Eye level: At 2 minutes 17 seconds, when the father arrives home and is giving Cinderella her present that he got when he way away. The eye level angle is for the camera to be positioned as it’s the human (actor) observing a scene, or example the actors' heads are on a level with the focus.

Cinematography, camera angles:

Page 13: Cinderella Coursework

Cinematography, transitions:

Cut: the cut transition is the most basic and most popular type of transition. It’s used to join two shots and is the most commonly

used for this .

Fade out: A fade is used when the picture gradually turns to a single colour, normally black, or when a picture gradually appears on screen, fade outs are typically found at

the end of a film or scene.

Parallel editing cut: this is used in a action scene or when someone is running.

Eventually this transition will become very difficult and un-engaging after a while.
