- Cíle předmětu
- Research on costume in film has previously been afforded to Hollywood (for example Edward Maeder and Tamar Jeffers McDonald): British cinema and its relationship with costume is still in its infancy by way of comparison. This is likely due to the perception that Hollywood costume is more ‘glamourous’ than the ‘drab’ costumes of British social realist film, for example. This lecture series will focus on the formation of the wardrobe department, how a costume specification is achieved by different members of the wardrobe department, and an analysis of the designs and costumes themselves as they appear on screen to further understand how costume contributes to the production and marketing of film, and how costume forms a vital part of the British film industry both in terms of creativity and economics, with an emphasis on the James Bond film franchise.
This lecture series will offer students the opportunity to understand the labour, creativity and authorship that goes into costume making decisions from a film’s director, producer, script writer, star, and the various costume personnel themselves. To do this, students will have the opportunity to access and critically review relevant primary sources, for example scripts, budgets, correspondence, marketing materials and critical reception. - Výstupy z učení
