Initial Costume and Make up Conventions from Burton Films

The make up for edward scissor hands endears
him to the audience, the shadow around
the eyes goes to a point to create a worried expression. 

The costume is ripped and reveals bones
to enforce the feeling of years gone past

Black and red lace are used in detail
around the neck line, also shows quite a bit of flesh

Although an animation, it would be ideal if the suit
for our male characters  is similar to this one.

the billowed sleeves and waist coat is a convention that
most male characters have in tim burton films 

the white queen from alice in wonderland, the character is the 'goody' but has a dark side, this is shown in the costume and make up. this is what we want to portray in the snow white character's costume. 

the tinted lense  adds a more sinister tone, and highlights the make up to make the characters look gaunt and sick. 

if i can find something similar to this costume,
 it would be perfect for the 'other man'
character in our opening. 

(<--- from the same film) combination of corset and shirt-like under garment is another feature similar in many tim burton films 

by leaving the rim around the eyes pale and
darkening the hollow of the eye makes the character  more friendly
 and sad looking, i feel this is the direction we would go in for the snow
white character and for the men more sweeny todd look. 

close up of lips imitation, may use deep purple red instead of bright red for snow white, to add gothic twist on classic look

the classic style of snow white character, we will do
our best to let the audience know the character
is snow white while giving the character a gothic/timburton twist

stripes in black and white and red are a classic tim burton style costume.
