Costume Designers

The costume designer must always have doubles, triples and quadruples of every clothing item no matter what genre of film but especially if it's a horror movie. Imagine shooting the gory slasher scene. You have the blood, the film, the actors everything except you only have one of the costumes and no replacements! This limits your shoot to just one take. Rarely can filmmakers get away with capturing everything they need in just one take. So if your costume designer (maybe you're wearing that hat too) must choose between two costume- always pick the one with doubles and triples for multiple takes. Remember this advice and hopefully you can return the unused costumes to stay under your film budget.
