Written by two working costumers, this textbook introduces aspiring designers to each stage of costuming for film, from the initial script analysis through fittings and filming. It covers artistic matters such as creating focus through color and expressing emotion through line, shape, and texture, as well as professional issues such as working within a budget and dealing with deadlines. Illustrated throughout with b&w photographs and drawings, the volume also features a section of color plates. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
