Actors' Clothing Choices

With filming just around the corner for "Words Unspoken," I wanted to share some thoughts on a crucial aspect of visual storytelling: costumes. Firstly, let's talk about Abby (Riley). Clothing isn't just about what looks good on screen; it's about conveying character, mood, and story.

For Abby, the sweaters will play a very vital role in the storytelling for the film. Here's a breakdown of some of the key pieces:


Navy Blue Sweatpants: Though navy blue is often connected with peace and calmness, it can also cause feelings of melancholy or loneliness.  These perspirations might suggest to Riley that she is introverted, at ease in being by herself, but also somewhat alone.  The dark hue may refer to feelings she isn't yet ready to express.


Cream Cardigan: The color cream is soft and warm.   It may stand for comfort and pleasant emotions.    This cardigan could remind Riley of her happy moments spent with Phoebe. The affection of their relationship is reflected in the color's gentle, comforting color.  


Purple Cardigan: Deep emotions and mystery have been linked with the color purple. It often refers to reflection and instinct.    This cardigan suggests that Riley is giving her feelings for Phoebe a lot of thought.  The purple may refer to a secret she's keeping or her growing insight of her romantic impulses.


White and Navy Striped Sweater: The white and navy stripes give this sweater a more lively, energetic look.   White frequently represents hope and fresh starts, while blue gives a sense of depth. Riley may be trying to move on and fulfill a new balance in her life, shown by her sweater. 

Her clothing seems to be a visual reflection of her inner self. As for now our main options for Riley's clothes are the navy-blue sweatpants and cream cardigan.

I believe that these clothing choices will give the movie even more depth and let viewers relate to Riley more deeply.

As we continue our investigation of our film clothes choices let's turn our attention to Phoebe, or Drey. Phoebe's clothes, like Riley's, is carefully chosen to reflect her character, emotional state, and dynamic relationship with Riley. She is expressing her feelings and desires through the tanks and t-shirts.

Here's a closer look at some of the key pieces in Drey's closet:


"Electric Era Records" T-Shirt: This shirt reflects Phoebe's lively and carefree   personality.  It suggests a passion for music and an association to a carefree time in her life. The "Electric Era" might refer to a time in her life when she was full of adventure and curiosity, or it could represent a yearning for that feeling.  


Lemon Capri Italy Tank Top: Sunshine, joy, and a passion for life are all expressed by the vivid lemon color.   The reference to "Italy" could be referring to her spirit of curiosity or her heritage.   This tank top can stand for Phoebe's self-love and her confident, outgoing personality.



Blue and White Crochet Halter Top: The handmade, natural feel of crochet frequently expresses a mood of freedom. White and blue make a timeless and well-balanced combo.  This halter top may represent her need to show herself and be seen, yet in a way that is genuine and comfortable for her. It allows her to show off some aspects of herself without giving away everything.



White and Green Lace Trim Tank Tops: The colors white and green could represent growth and peace.    A hint of femininity is added by the lace trim. Phoebe's desire to fit in and be seen as an open-minded person may be reflected in these tank tops.  They suggest that she is dealing with life's complexities rather than focusing just on one aspect of it.


Basic Beige Tank Top: Beige is a delicate, neutral color.    This tank top could represent a time when you felt normal or even limited.   It could suggest a wish to be accepted for who she is, despite the fact that it may appear "boring" to others, and to escape criticism or expectations.


Denim Shorts: A casual, informal mood is shown by worn denim shorts. They frequently stand for individuality and a practical mind.    These shorts might stand for Drey's relaxed, genuine personality, someone who isn't overly concerned with appearances or fitting in with traditional standards of beauty.

I'm excited to see how these choices play out on screen and how they contribute to the overall narrative.
