1. As the costume designer for Antigone, it is my goal to tie in the actors with the role they are playing seamlessly through costume. I would work alongside the director to decide which route they would be taking as far as interpretative or creative, because that would drastically change the costume design. If the director ultimately decides interpretative I would study the time period and try to reflect the way of dressing then into the costumes I pick. The production is being put on by a theatre club that has no direct funding therefore the budget will be small and may be challenging but of course there is a way to work things out.

2. The budget that was given to me in order to put these costumes together is 300 dollars. The budget is so relatively slow and did seem like it would affect how well the costumes would come out but working around finding used costumes that have been used previously and going to second hand stores really helped stretch the budget out the most that I could.

3. When working with the director who has a more interpretative vision for the play it is still important to completely understand their goals. Working with the director is to important obviously but in all seriousness if me, the costume designer, and the director, do have the same visions it will make the whole production a little bumpy and unfortunately can make important things, like the time period, confusing for the audience.

4. The vision of the director for Antigone is interpretative. We will be following the same vibe and guidelines as the original play which means that I will need to find costume pieces that not only seem similar to the orginal play but outfits that would have been worn during the time period of Antigone. The time period is around 441 b.c., so it may be challenging to find that type of clothing today but putting different pieces and maybe even hand making some would enhance the vision of the director.

5. Choosing this costume was fairly difficult because I needed to find the middle between super fancy and more casual. This costume is a perfect mixture of the two and would also be very easy to find. It is simply a white dress with accessories.

6. For Creon, when looking at inspiration I was very influenced by the costumes that were more Greek-like. I think the idea that he looks somewhat like a Greek God fits his character the best.

7. Looking at inspiration for Ismene and also looking at her character itself, the idea that she in kind of draped dresses and covered in what it looks like as to be cloth fit very well.

8. I think when looking at the budget Ismene costume would be the  easiest to create. I know that we could invest in some sort of cloth and sow it to fit the cast. However her costume can also be universal throughout the rest of the cast because it so simple and with characters like Antigone, the dress can fit as a first layer and add on accessories like the ones I picked earlier.

9. For Haimon a lot of other productions have had just a simple piece of cloth over him. I have voted against that idea because I feel like it isn't the most appropriate for the targeted audience. So adding a shirt underneath would be the most ideal thing to do so I can keep the originality while also covering up the cast member.

10. As seen, the costumes I have picked have been very simple and can be made and bought without having to spend a huge chunk of my budget. So with the remainder of the budget I plan on giving the main characters a costume change.

11. Her first outfit was pretty simple so having a second one would be perfect so that there would obviously be some change for the audience but it can be easier to follow as the play takes place over a couple of days with big events taking place on some of them.

12. I think stepping it up with the the costume for Creon would fit his personality a lot. This costume I think is the most fancy of them all.

13. This video, although not directly connected with Antigone, gave me a deeper understanding of costume with a Greek elements.

14. This video was the one that gave me the idea to thrift, make, or diy costumes.

15. For these costumes, like I mentioned when showing ismene were very easy to make and dress up. They all have the same base and just add accessories that are able to distinguish the characters from each other. With that being said it was very easy to be budget friendly when shopping and creating these costumes.

16. With these costumes I want the characters to come to life, and I want the directors vision to be presented to the audience.

I hope that through the costumes and the rest of the production that the audience feels like they were sent back into time and are apart of the play in a way. I think it is important that the audience in a way feels connected to the play and are able to grasp more than just watching.
