Taking note through lectures and watching a selection of films, I have become aware that the lead character should be wearing the most eye catching costume/s. If there are other characters or extras their garment should not deter away from the main point of focus. I have analysed a few films which practice this golden rule so to speak, where the lead character grabs the audience's attention with their costume. First example Barbarella... main character played by Jane Fonda, is styled in sexy, sassy mini combat dresses, although her charcater is portrayed to be tough who carrys weapons, she eventually saves the world. But her dress scent speaks volumes of the opposite. At first glipse you'd think she was frail and weak, and a woman who cares much about her appearence rather than a woman who doesnt mind getting rough and dirty. The colours chosen for her wardrobe relate to the battlefield with the earthy tones of khaki and browns, and also the use of sheer netting and metallics garuntee the audience's (especially male) attention.
