For this show we are using Tim Burton and his work as inspiration for our characters and the set. In this photo from 'Sweeny Todd' which Tim Burton directed, you can see there are very dark colours used, usually blues, blacks and greys. This is the inspiration I will be using for make-up as well, especially for the dark eyes.

Something I will also need to prepare for as well as a costume is make-up. I have personally never been someone who was very interested in make-up and therefore find it difficult when I need to do it. For Grandma, I will need wrinkles on my face as well as dark areas around the eyes to give off the effect that I am a lot older than I actually am. Due to my wig being white/grey I am thinking of also adding hints of those colors to my eyebrows as I have very dark eyebrows naturally.

I have also noticed in most images of Grandma Addams that her clothing is always very dark, none of her clothing seems bright or happy, they're always forest-like colors and give off the thought that she has quite a dull personality. I like the idea of using dark greens, browns, and blacks together as they work for Grandma very well. In this photo you can also see she is wearing two scarves, I think this is a good idea and helps with the idea of layering but without a huge cardigan which would make me incredibly warm on stage.

In this image of Grandma Addams from the animated films you can see firstly that she has layered clothing. She is wearing a dress a ripped up dress over the top and also a shawl. In most of the photos I have ever seen of Grandma Addams she always seems to have layered clothing. I think this adds to her bulkiness and therefore gives off more of a vibe of a grandma and also the messiness of her as a person, it shows her personality quite strongly through the way she wears her clothes. I also like how there a different textures of clothing used, as well as how one is ripped at the end and the other has tassels and the other is cut straight. Again creating the feeling that nothing quite fits together and it all seems to be getting out of hand.

Something I find very interesting about other performances of Addams Family is that sometimes they use very textured clothing for Grandma. for example in this picture you can see especially around her torso and shoulders that there are odd bits of colours and materials on her shawl. I think this really adds to the idea of grandma being very all over the place and her clothes definitely express the idea of uncleanliness and messiness.

When I think of Grandma Addams' hair, this is exactly what I picture, I think it needs to be grey/white, I think it also needs to be matted, puffy and frizzy in areas to give the effect of an old woman who doesn't align with the conventions of older woman now and how they do their hair.
