Characters Costumes

Characters Costumes


These are the costumes that we have used to portray our characters.

This is Katie's, playing the role of Evie, first costume. Her look is very relateable to the audience of teenage girls and is too very appealing to the viewers of teenage boys due to the length of the shorts that she is seen wearing in the picture. The shorts consist of the pattern of a cow, showing a vunerable side of the character as it portrays how young she is within the film. The length and fitting of the shorts flaunt her figure and make her appear asthethetically pleasing to the audience. Girls would apire to have the same figure and boys would find her attractive. The black hoody is lose on Kate and appears to be too big. This could make the audience assume that the jumper is in fact a boys, showing how Kate has some form of love interest - this is what the upcoming events in the opening sequence will too link in with and portray through the use of camera work and the narrative. The colour of the hoody is black representing how something bad could be about to happen. Overall Kate's costume 1 look is very homely and comes across to the audience as realistic and natural - this makes Kate's character as relateable as possible to the audience. She is wearing fluffy scocks. This is an extra added touch that our group decided to go with as we all discovered that we all wear fluffy socks to bed in the winter. The texture of the socks convey a time in season to the audience and give them a sense of stability as it answer some of the engimas that they would automatically recieve when watching the opening sequence to a film. Kate's hair, at this point, was in a messy bun and she was styled to have no make up on in order for her to look natural and appear as if she has just woken up from a nights sleep - this is also why she is styled in pj's. The two tassels on her jumper are uneven in length: This makes it appear more realistic as although we have thought about the details of her costume very hard, it looks as if we haven't and that this was by accident.

Kate's next costume shows her ready to leave the house and go out. She is seen wearing casual clothing and wearing a coat due to the weather conditions of the early winter. Alike to most females, she is carrying a handbag with her that would contain belongings such as a purse, makeup, a hair brush, money, travel cards and possibly an umbrella. Due to her coat being a plain colour as well as her plain jeans, we decided to give a brightly coloured red bag in order to show some fun and happy personality traits. It makes the outfit look more appealing and positive. The coat conists of lepard print fur on the color: the lepard print portrays fashion and style, and the fur portrays the winter and her need to keep warm. Kate is wearing a necklace to show detail within her outfit and like she has made an effort to look at her best. The necklace is also girly. Overall Kate's outfit is very girly and relateable to teenage girls of this time as she fits in with the latest fashion trends.If a girl was to see Kate wearing this outfit they would see her as fashionable and popular due to the statement she is making with the bright bag and aniaml patterns. The outfit is matching and colour coordinated.

Sam's outfit portrays his characters personality well. His look is chic and he would be seen has an outgoing person in the way he makes his fashions statements. He looks smart and the audience can clearly see that he has made an effort. This would also make the audience think that Sam is going out somewhere that he feels is important and where he needs to look formal. His overall look contrasts with Kate's in the way that she is smart/casul and Sam is pure smart. This could give the impression that the two are going to different destinations. The colours within Sam's outfit are very dull and give off negative connotations. It implies that he is not feeling to good and that perhaps he is depressed. All of his buttons are done up correctly and he appears to be well dressed. He is posing with his hands in each pocket, showing how he is a laidback person and feels relxaed within himself and the enviroment that he is situated in. He is wearing a tie: this adds detail to his outfit and shows how he has made an effort - impying to the audience that he has a priority for his appearnce. Both Kate and Sam are wearing at least one item of black clothing: this gives off negative and depressed connataions. His trousers are tightly fitted, linking in with his chic look.
