Scene Breakdowns and Costume Bibles - Being Prepared!

Well, as the title would suggest the script was sent through to me last night and I have spent the morning creating a (very) rough script breakdown by costume and started the costume bible for the three characters!

Beginnings of the Costume Bible
In terms of Seduction this was very simple and quick, there is very little that needs sourcing for her and the main bulk of the work will be breaking down the costume.
Ruth's costumes are more complex, as for Ruth there will be quite a few costumes through the passage of time in the film. For one of her costumes multiples are required as she spills tea down her front - this will mean a clean version, a pre-stained version and at least one that she can ruin on camera, which means that the continuity will hold no matter what order the scenes are filmed in on the day.
For Puppet, he will also need multiples of his shirt as it will be broken down in stages because of the action in one of the scenes. Other then this he has several costume pieces but other then the multiples, no costume changes.
Now its time to get started on the designs! For Seduction myself and the designer are already decided on what is needed, for Puppet we also have a fairly clear idea, but for Ruth its more contemporary, 'darker colours that someone would wear when doing/going to-' so its more coming up with a wardrobe for the character, and different outfits from said wardrobe.
