The Leader Costumes- Differences (6 Costumes)

The Leader costumes will be bigger with fin's touching the floor.
The T-shirts will have more gems on them to make them more sparkly
The headdresses will have more cable ties on them and look overall bigger.
They will have bigger bells- so will be louder

Carnival Research

What I have learnt from my Carnival Research-What makes a costume effective for a carnival?...

• Block colour is very effective- You don't need lots of different colours on the costume to make it stand out.
• Keep it simple. You won’t see little details. Keep the shape bold and simple. Simple ideas often have a strong visual impact
• Make it easily recognisable of the creature/plant
• Carnival costumes work best when there is movement. Makes the costume come to life -feathers and silks move well for carnivals.
• Make it Very bright - doesn't matter if it is not your usual taste! 
• Reflective materials are good. As carnivals are outside the sun (hopefully on the 12th July!) make the costumes stand out and catch people's eye.
• Height -Can see from far away. Headdresses often help give the costume some height.  Remember to keep it lightweight.
• Fun...silly! Carnivals originally were something enjoyed by a lower class society so you can make it out of anything. Nothing too serious! 

Other things to think about...

• Practical, quick to put on but visually strong
