Fan Casting Gorgeous Period Dress

Role added by farahsafi1 on November 25, 2024

Description of Gorgeous Period Dress:

A film trope starting when colour was new and directors were eager to show off what it could do, and extending to the days when TV was widespread but mostly black and white, so big, colorful spectacles were a way of luring audiences back to the theaters. (However — as noted below in the entry mentioning the 1935 "Becky Sharp" — this trope actually began to be used in films when Technicolor, a reliable — if at the time expensive — method of producing color film — came into use.) The trope consists of setting your story in Period Pieces, at a time and place in which the costumes were (or people think they were) very beautiful, and using lots of actors and extras in these beautiful costumes.
