The Style, Time and Space

As I said before, my film is going to be based in Venezuela during the 80's. Since i am from 2002 I had to do some research on the topic cause I wasn't there; therefore, part of my research was speaking with some experts on the topic, my parents. My parents always tell me their anecdotes on how Venezuela was before the crisis, which was thje period of their adolescence. As a result, those were Venezuela's Golden ages, the reason why I chose to base my story on this time and space.
Venezuela at that time was a tropical paradise, a place in which the weather was perfectly fresh and tropical, the people were open to offering opportunities to all kind of immigrants, and it was easy to live as a millionaire since everything was really cheap. Also, the people and natural places such as the beaches, were considered perfectly beautiful. Consequently, I consider that this time and space is something that is meaningful to all Venezuelans since it is such a nostalgic moment even to the people who did not live in such era, due to how all Venezuelan's who lived always recall it and level the expectations or the new generation who wants to live in the kind of Venezuela that was known for been a tropical paradise.

Even though Venezuela is in South America, it has always been highly influenced by the American culture, therefore, Venezuelans also dressed with the American trends such as oversized shirts, blazers, high waisted jeans, high ponytails, vibrant colors for eyeshadow, Reeboks, really short shorts for boys, etc...As a result, the trends were much of the same for both cultures but since the story is based in Venezuela, I have decided that more cloths were going to be repeated for the boys since what was mostly common for the era in Venezuela, is that boys did not choose controversial outfits but rather the classic light blue jeans and white t-shirt or somehting like these:

 For the girls, since it is something more playful I have decided to try outfit ideas, at first i thought I could do this by myself but it turned out to look horrible, I looked as a crazy person; but my mom then chose what I should wear and how to do my hair and makeup and I loved it. I decided not to buy anything for the outfits but rather take specfic cloths from my closet since they can be arranged to look as if they are form the 80's since today's cloths are actually kind of vintage, however this was the outcome, what inspired me for most of the girls.





Here is another outfit depending on the style of the girl since not all girls have the same personality:




And lastly, this made me question, if the introduction is going to be a party scene then all the people within the intro should wear cloth from the 80's that I authorize, casual but good looking since it is a party. Also, it made me think how I wanted to differentiate the main characters so I have decided that since the main character is fantasizing that his crush and him are perfect to eachother, then in such fantasy they should wear the same shirt, a botton white shirt with pink lines and medium sleeves. My main actor has this shirt and i have this shirt but long sleeve for girl. Both actors will wear this shirt opened, with a white shirt under it; since i want them to match and make them stand from the rest by having a matching shirt that is in the pastel colors.

For Ana Sofia's outfit, the inspiration will be from the protagonist of the Venezuelan Telenovela from the 80's "Abigail". This character and actress, were considered as icons for what was considered attractive for the boy in the 80's, and icon for the valley girls of Venezuela.Abigail - Capítulo 44 - YouTube

For juan's outfit, the outfit of the character Oliver (the one on the left) in Call me by your name which is a story based in the 80's in Italy, and the outfits use a lot of summer cloths and pastel colors for r's character.
