Another great film for costume design is The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Their outfits instantly lay out their character... Tuco is always dressed simply, often with his chest bared to show his shamelessness; Blondie's clothes are a mess of different attire, showing how he doesn't really fit in anywhere; and Angel Eyes' clothes are always well coordinated, his moustache perfectly groomed, which I think reflects his plotting and conniving nature.

As you write the script, the right clips come to you. Here's a fun cheat though: use www.quodb.com/ and search by a keyword to find movie dialogue that may relate to your video. So I searched for the "costume" key word and I found the Elf dialogue where she says "I like your costume" and it was perfect for the video! Because no matter how many videos I make (41 now, jeez), I can't memorize the dialogue of every movie.

One movie that plays pretty obviously with costumes is Enchanted. As Adam's character gets more acquainted with the "real world," her demeanor, as well has costumes get more toned down (as opposed to her originally ludicrous white gown). Dempsey, on the other hand, wear's dark suits to reflect his pessimistic and unimaginative world view. In the final ball scene, when he is finally able to venture into his romantic side (and thus move towards Adams), he opts to wear a very costume-y prince get-up. Marsden's character, meanwhile, obstinately refuses to acclimate to the real world, and thus remains in his ridiculously flashy, poofy-sleeved, getup the entire movie.

I'm going to have to disagree with the "no capes" line. Back as far as humans had heroes, they wore cloaks to signify status as a traveler, but in the tale of Heracles, he wears the nemean lion skin as a cape. Not only as a symbol of having conquered the animal and taking its strength, but also in wearing it as a cloak. This shows up constantly, though the modern trend of clothing doesn't play into full length drapery, it still persists. Obvious examples are in Watch_dog's protagonist Auden Pearce wearing a trench coat that acts as a cape when running through Chicago. Same goes for the scarf worn by the racketeer. It's small, but modern enough and flowing out the back to give just a small hint at the form of a cape. It is a staple of heroes.

my dude! Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet has some of the most incredible costume designing ever! like how at the party Romeo is a literal knight in shining armour, and Juliet is a literal angel (both of these reference some soliloquy that they say about each other). Or how Mercutio isn't dressed as a montague, but by lord is he more montague than capulet. Or how each family has their own insignia to set them apart, but it isn't just boring red and blue. Or how the costumes bring them into a modern day, but a sort of timeless stylised era within modern day! I could go on, but i can not believe you made an entire video about costume design and didn't mention this at all!

Part of what's great about Star Wars and what makes it feel so familiar is that the original trilogy was done on basically a shoestring budget. Most of the blasters are real guns that have been dressed up (Han's famous Blastech DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol is a modified Mauser), and Luke's clothes in episode four are just a martial arts gi with a utility belt and boots. They're all things that we're familiar with already. Its the same reason that Baze Malbus's behemoth blaster and body armor seem so out of place.

On the Star Wars thing, it's interesting to notice the change in color for Luke's clothing, with him wearing white in New Hope, grey in Empire and black in Jedi, symbolizing his path through darker and more dangerous emotional places as the story progresses. By Jedi he is closer to the dark side and Vader's path than he's ever been, wearing the same style and colors as his father.

Thank you for the shout out to costume people! Most people have a close connection to their clothes and how they present themselves to the world. This translates directly to characters in a movie. I've done some acting, and I can solidly say costumes makes ALL the difference in defining a character. Then there's using the costumes to convey themes from a director's standpoint. I'm not a designer, but I love being in the room with actors when they put on their costume for the first time. They just transform before your eyes. This showed up in my recommended so I realize this video is older, but I still appreciate it.

The costumes for the students at Shiz in Wicked the musical were based mostly on what the costume designers thought the students would think like. For example, Galinda's school outfit was made with very light colors to represent her head in the clouds, but Elphaba's costume had very dark colors to represent that she was grounded. Other students were able to mix and match their outfits so they ended up with things that didn't match and even two jackets sewn together to make one. I just thought it was very interesting.

Fantastic video. One thing I enjoy is that with a period film, you can ALWAYS tell the decade it was made because the elements that are popular during that decade get integrated in details into the period clothes. I think this might also be attributable to the limits of materials, such that movies from the 30s to the 80s had more limited options for materials and sets, so are more "stagey" whereas current films have a higher realism (you can see this in any movies made in the 50s and remade in the current day). That being said, we'll still likely look at back at movies made today and think, woa, that was so '10s. :)

My girlfriend is a costume designer and she can sometimes tell by the costume what kind of character the actor will play, where they will go and so on. As a photographer I take these cues from framing most of the time yet by having someone around that makes you aware of how clothing tells stories in fiction you can sometimes read people in real life out of the sheer fact that we watch the same movies and therefor often find inspiration in familiar characters. Once I got this down my portrait photography reached a whole new level and I respected costume design so much more.

Thank you for bringing up the subject of Immersive Costume Design. Speaking as a costume designer, most of the time, we've done our job well if our choices do NOT stand out as "costumes". The whole point is to immerse the audience in the world we are creating as part of a team with the director, the cinematographer, and the production designer. If an audience member stops in the the middle of the story to think, "Hey, I really love that costume", that's a failure. Even fantasy needs to be grounded in some reality to be immersive - thanks for mentioning "the rules as we understand them". This is the reason that the movies I love for their design are often different than the ones my friends love. Example, I don't like Wes Anderson movies because the production design pulls too much focus and by comparison, the characters seem underdeveloped, surface level, the production and costume design are distracting. But I do love many of the other examples you mentioned.
