After finalising who we thought our main character was in her personality, we began to develop a way to translate this into her appearance, and in turn, the way in which she is is represented to the audience. Our group designed a mood board (above) to act as a refernce point and visual way of of showing our ideas.
The first part of her appearance we focused on was the colour palette that we best reflect her and her inner feelings. We settled on a theme of blue mixed with natural, earthy colours such as browns and greys. her character is filled with a deep rooted sadness and despair at not being able to recall her memories, and I think that the blue colour (typical connoting sadness) really shows this well. Along with this, to me the colour grey relates to the distance of of her memories, like a cloud or haze over what she can't rememeber. We thought that having bright colours, or even just an array of them would not fit Ari's personality in the slightest.
Most of her clothes are pratical and well used, from her time in the foster home. One thing that is quite special to her is a ring that she bought when she was small, as it reminds her of happy times when she looks at it, even if she can't remember what exactly those times were. She also carries a simple rucksack, carrying extra clothes to use whilst traveling and above all, the sheets of paper that are her whole mind.
As for hair and make-up, she would wear none, believing it to be of no importance. Her hair will be slightly waved, looking tousled as she doesn't have time to style, simply running a brush through it every now and then. For the actress playing her, she will wear minimal make up, mearly to prevent glare from lighting and other technical issues.
