Female Characters Costume 3 (Filming Day 2)

 Kate is wearing jeans and a leather jacket again for her third costume, and I have already explained the reasoning and connotations of these items in my previous mise en scene posts. However, the top she is wearing is different. The top is floral lace and is slightly cropped. This top has connotations of femininity as flowers are icons of beauty and nature which are both often stereotyped as being feminine. The lace material is feminine too as it is often associated with females, lace can often also be perceived as sexy, therefore this shows the teenage style of the costume and could indicate that the female is trying to impress the male character as she is wearing it when she is with him.









The female's make up for the third costume is fairly simple, but the red lipstick brightens it up. The red lipstick is worn as it is often seen as attractive and sexy and therefore links to the idea of the female trying to look good in front of the male talked about above. Red lipstick is very bold and has connotations of beauty and femininity and therefore offers a good contrast to the leather jacket and boots in the outfit that are often symbolic of masculinity.
