CHORUS:
We kept the original idea of the friends/chorus looking gothic, but instead of going for a modern Kat Von D style, instead we went for a more mystical and creepy look. The tutus and wings made them seem like dark fairies rather than humans. The make up is very dramatic and made it look like they didn't have eyes from the audience, which was a very creepy effect.
SISTERS:
We decided that the sisters should wear a school uniform to represent their age. Keeping with the gothic theme, the staple colour for almost every costume is black, which is why their ties are black. Their hair is neat and they look very clean which shows how privileged they are compared to Electra.
CLYTOMNESTRA:
Clytomnestra also wears a lot of black, but her main colour is red. This not only sets her apart from other characters but symbolizes her high status. The blue head band also makes her look regal.
OLD MAN:
The old man has a very simple costume. If we could improve on it I think he should have had some make up to make him look older such as grey hair spray and also he should have had a walking stick.
ORESTES:
Orestes' look is more modern than the other characters. This is quite similar to the production we saw at the Old Vic.
ELECTRA:
Electra's costume is not as gothic as our initial idea. We all have a similar pink dress to make us easily recognizable as the same colour and makes us look different to the other characters. Our hair is similar to the style of the chorus but a lot crazier. We added brown eyeshadow to look like mud and dirt on our skin as we live outside. We also put real mud on our dresses but the material was too shiny so it didn't last long.
