Directions Unit - A Journey Through - Costumes and Set Design

My biggest flaw with my last project is that there wasn't a commitment to the cause in a sense, which is my main aim for this project. If you look at my previous blog post you can see the overall design and theme I am going for. Today I purchased a piece of the costume I intend to use for the film - a fake tattoo sleeve. This doesn't seem like a big deal but to me the little details is key. I'm in no way implying that tattoo's are bad and I am behind the movement of being tattooed and employed. But there's something about the style of tattoo that I've bought that really makes the character look gritty, which matched with the correct attire, can give the gritty look that I am oh so after. here is the tattoo sleeve. Now I intend to place the time piece that is in the start of the script on the same arm of the tattoo, which works in two ways - it gives meaning to the tattoo and the time piece at the start of the video, but also covers up the seam of the tattoo tights.
