Evaluation

When researching into period dramas we looked carefully at the clothing of the characters as we felt this was important in creating a sense of verisimilitude which we believed would engage the audience more. We looked at several other period dramas and the costumes that were used for the female protagonists and found that a few of them used very lavish ball gowns, however we also found that several of them used simple, elegant dresses as seen in the still from ‘Pride and Prejudice’ above. As we had more access to the simple elegant dresses rather than the lavish clothing we chose to use these types of costumes for our female protagonist as seen in the still below the first image.
