Recreation of an Existing Short Film : Costumes, Costumes, Costumes...


So, the major challenge with regards to the recreation of "My Beast Friend", was tracking down a cat out fit similar to that in the picture(typical me assigned myself the challenge of finding as solution to the cat out fit). Firstly I decided to check out the local fancy dress shops to see if they could give us a helping hand, my first port of call was to the dressing up box in my local town, as in previous years she has worked with some other A-level students so we thought financially we may get a deal ect., here is the email that I sent here and the response I received  :

Dear Alice, Sorry no cat like you clip, I do have a grey fur 'donkey' costume which could possibly be customised.  When did you need the cat for as I do not have time to do anything to it until after the 21st September as I have a big show to costume.
Sue, The Dressing Up Box

Dear Sue, I am writing to enquire about the rental of a cat costume. I am currently a student at wymondham high school studying A2 level media studies, and we have been set the task of re-creating a short film, attached is an image of the cat scene we have to recreate. If you have any costume that would be appropriate for us to rent for the re-creation we would be really grateful for a reply and I shall come and see it. Thank you Alice Leng

As our film is due in on Friday 28th September, we thought as a group the 21st September would be to late to start recreating an outfit, then film and then edit therefore we went back to the drawing board. I emailed a called a few other fancy dress shops however none of them had an outfit that suited our request (reminder to self do not go in a full cat out fit to a party!), therefore we decided it was time to get creative and create our own cat outfit, below is a step-to-step guide of how your can create your own!
