Who Is Ella In The Film Cinderella

Cinderella is an American fantasy film that was released in spring of 2015 and directed by Kenneth Branagh. The film was set in the 18th century era in Europe. The story was based on the journey of Ella (Lily James) and how each person that she met throughout the film made an influence on her life. As I watched the film, I noticed how the costumes of the main characters displayed their presence in the film and how they connect with Ella. The costumes are both realistic and stylized in some way, according to each character. Additionally, each of them has their own color palette to distinguish the personalities and their character’s role in the film. Ella is the leading character in the film and has changed throughout the film as she continued
Her usual color palettes are black and emerald green. She’s a beautiful, wicked woman with pale, piercing blue-green eyes and red-blonde hair. Her costumes are both realistic and stylized at the same time from the 18th century. At her first introduction in the film, she was dressed in formfitting gold bodice with black floral, a full black skirt with floral pattern in many different shades of green and yellow, and an extravagant black bonnet. Her first presence in the film immediately displayed her power and she’s somewhat resemble to a bee. She immediately clashed with gentle, pale blue Ella and is viewed as a wicked villain in Ella’s life. Lady Tremaine has such a jealous and manipulative personality that would constantly torment Ella and treat her like dirt. Additional subtle cues of the contrast of the color palette between Ella and Lady Tremaine is that all of Lady Tremaine’s gowns are heavy satins and taffetas with many different shades of green, red, and yellow. Those bold seems to be suitable for Lady Tremaine’s personality and can be displayed as danger in Ella’s
Ella’s gowns throughout of the film truly signified each change that she went through as she blossomed from a country girl to a royalty wife and queen. Additionally, the other main characters also were properly introduced in the film basing on their outfit attires such as Lady Tremaine and her daughters, Fairy Godmother, and Prince Charming. Each of them have expressed how they would either create a balance or a chaos in Ella’s life. Like every previous fairytales, Ella life have has end with a happily ever after with her very own Prince Charming. The director of this film creatively uses the color palette in each character’s costumes to exhibit the character’s role while being consistent with the 18th century fashion choice with the exception of Tremaine’s daughters. Professionally, the color scheme have been remaining consistent throughout the film and strongly stay with each character, which is why Cinderella is such a great film for costumes and color palette film elements. Cinderella is a film that attempts to remake the original Cinderella 1950 to get viewers to embrace the fairytale hopes and loves in the realistic life in order to stay true to their own hopes and find love in the hopeless
