Who is Our Protagonist?

Aria Gil

Our film opening focuses on the protagonist Aria Gil and her exploration of the world, that is now a barren and desolate wasteland. Arias main intentions are pretty clear from the start, as she has one main goal, survival. Aria struggles, however, as what is the point of life if just to survive? As the film progresses, Aria strives to find a deeper meaning and towards the end of the film opening, the audience is given a hint at how she will discover it. She can tell something is happening around her, she knows shes alone, or is she? If she was alone, then who is driving the train she hears at the end of the film opening? And why was she so unnaturally afraid of it? All these questions we want the audience to ask themselves, so they become further invested in the movie, and I plan to expand upon them in another blog post. For the wardrobe of the character, we were thinking since its a post-apocalyptic film, we want to have the character look roughed up and dirtied. Sabrina plans to do this via make up, and for the attire itself, we also plan on having our character wear a beanie, jeans, a jacket, and hopefully some sort of boots. This costuming is what is usually associated with the nomadic/woodsy/explorer persona we are trying to show in our character, we want them to be seen as someone who is on the move. We also want them to have a sort of satchel or bag in which they keep supplies. Aria is tough and she does what she needs to do to survive, its just that she is starting to doubt what she is surviving for.

 

The movie "The Road" is a great example of the costuming in a post-apocalyptic film!
