Following our tutorial with Will, Rhiannon and I decided to get together to discuss what our inspiration had been so far and work out a concept together. We both wanted the set and costume to work really well together visually so we shared our ideas to create unity between our designs. We had similar feeling about the script and how we wanted it to look which made the collaborative process quite rewarding and we were both able to bounce ideas off each other and develop our initial ideas further. The two of us both felt that religion should be extremely prominent in our designs and the symbol of the cross was in important image to both of us. Also we both really liked the idea of using earthy tones to show the grounded nature of the characters and freshness of ideas expressed within the piece. We both wanted to look at fairytales and bring in a more fantasy element to the piece without making it look too 'floaty' and 'light' and the subject matter is hard and will perhaps be quite difficult to watch at times. It was rewarding to know that we were both on the right track and we have decided that our research should be collaborative so that our ideas really stay in tune with one another, to make sure the set and costumes harmonise well and one does not overpower or detract from the other.
