Costume Research

We chose youthful, casual clothes for our actors as the audience will be able to detect their age straight away when they see them as well as that it is accessible to our actors, we need to take that in to consideration because we are not the biggest of companies and wont be able to afford to buy clothes for our actors. They will have to wear the same clothes when filming because if they change then their will be continuity errors in our film.

The male actor (Dom Ewen) will be wearing a plain t-shirt, plain jeans and any socks. We try to avoid any patterns on clothing due to continuity errors. What these costumes represent? Due to the clothes that we have Dom in we expect the audience to think he is just a normal teenager, but when people think of teenagers stereotypes kick in e.g. violent, aggressive and dangerous.

Our female actor (Emily McCarthy) will be wearing specific clothing as she has let us know in advanced what she can wear. It will be a Adidas grey top, Black jeans and pug socks. This is also like Dom's but because it's a girl they don't get the same stereotypes. Girls are seen as more innocent then boys. If an older person spoke about a girl they wouldn't say they are aggressive like they would if they were on about a lad.

These costumes show that our characters are defiantly part of the youth social category as they are wearing clothes that show this. As well as that is shows that they are materialistic and this is a stereotype with many teenagers nowadays because they want the best outfits and clothes.
