The hand-over

Today we filmed, the first set of scenes, where Marie Antoinette leaves her Austrian home to go to France. With this set of scenes I wanted to represent how she was still a girl taken away from home.In these two stills, you can see how she is very innocent and childish. In the first one she is playing with the glass on the carriage. And in the second one she get really upset when the woman takes away her dog that she adores.




She arrives with a very simple white dress representing pureness. Her hair is just in her shoulders as a small girl. They take away her clothes arguing that she can’t have anything that belong to a foreign court. When they are done preparing her she is wearing another blue dress, more elaborate and her hair is perfectly done.
