Costume Design And Production Short Course Lcf

About this course

Participants investigate garments and character scenarios to develop a costume concept for film production. The course combines lectures, examples and practical exercises, using mood boards, sketching, collage and draping to explore visual ideas before cutting and constructing the design. Teaching includes guidance from the tutor as participants develop their own work. Completing the costume concept also involves working independently outside class, with the final result depending partly on this additional preparation and making.
