Document Summary
It is easy to dwarf the size of the set (can take up the whole set or can be proportional. Depending on how clothing is cut and formed can determine how the character is shaped. Get pattern and through pattern you get a story. Ex: yellow shirt with black cheveron = charlie brown. Color and texture most changed throughout history. Complementary color scheme (ex blue and orange) Monochromatic color scheme (light blue vs dark blue) By working with lighting and costumes, you can change how the costume looks to the audience. Not just tactile texture but visual texture (matte or shiny) Or a mixture of texture to create a character. Lighting is the most spectacle of all the elements. Those two colors are easiest to see from a distance. Red and yellow is easiest seen against blue (like the sky) Visibility (weve been trained that seeing someones mouth makes it easier to understand what their saying)
