Mise-En-Scene: Costume

Hello blog!

Today, I will be elaborating on a mise-en-scene element of my choice. The element I chose to address is costume choice. My story will be taking place in the 2000's so I wanted my protagonist, Bella, to have this style. I researched a lot of protagonists in movies around this time and saw that they were all wearing a mix of Y2K and edgy style. Most girl characters had tight layered clothing, which I am planning to incorporate on Bella's outfit, except more toned down due to her being at home. I want her to wear a tight shirt or sweatshirt and flared sweatpants, in similarity to juicy track suits, something simpler, and for comfort and not as much for the look. I do want her to wear a brighter color that will stand out as she’s in her room to highlight that she's the main character. 


For inspiration, I studied Samantha Montgomery from A Cinderella Story, whom I believe shares qualities to Bella. She is a very introverted girl whose story is also based around the 2000s timeline, but since Samantha setting is mostly a school, she wears a different and more formal clothing.  Yet, I did notice that she always wears tight and layered clothing, which is the typical 2000 style. Here is a picture of one of her most iconic looks from the movie:
