This costume post includes the original costume idea for our protaganist which was written by my partner Chloe, the post included costumes which have now been modified and added as some actors and characters have been removed/changed from the opening. Below is the update costume information written by myself :
Costume
Protagonist #1
In our planning process, we have decided that our main
character (played by Megan Russell) will wear a casual
band t-shirt and denim ensemble. This is because she is
playing a typical teenage girl and this means that she
must be casual and informal. This will convey to the
audience the purity and innocence and how she is not
the antagonist nor anyone who is anything but sinless and virtuous. This costume that
she will wear contrasts with the antagonist (Larry) as his costume is anything but innocent
and it represents his danger and authority. My group decided to incorporate teenage
characters which is clearly depicted through their costume as the age group
surveyed most was age 15 to 18 years who wanted to be able to relate to the character.
antagonist will be formal and consist of a very smart suit and
black overcoat to illustrate his authority and power which manipulates his
role in the plot. The costume will involve a tradional British villian
costume with a white shirt, tie and black trouser combination.
The black overcoat will be worn as it creates a more intimidating and
interesting twist on the costume rather than confusing the costume with
an office wear aesthetic. The costume will reflect the professional
manner Larreh has and the status he possess. The costume will contrast
to the casual costume of the protaganist which will clearly show a
divide in the characters which was not achieved in our first draft.
Minor Antagonist
The costume we have chosen for the minor antagonist will be based
upon the formal wear of Larreh, as the two are colleagues. The
female will wear a suit which still reflects the formal aspects
of her occupation and tasks she is asked to perform in the opening.
The suit will be messy as the lack of care for the uniform will show
the character's lack of a serious mindset towards her job. As Larreh is
her boss and takes the mission seriously. The messy costume will mirror
the character's lack of authority and place in the heirachy whilst
suggesting she is not organised.
Minor Character - The go between
The final character is a minor character who acts as a go-between
for Larreh and his workers. As she is go-between she wants to blend
in with the ordinary public as she does not want to be seen as a
threat or suspicious. The costume consits of a denim jacket and chinos
as this gives off a smart-casual vibe that allows the character to
complete her job given to her by Larreh in an effective and insuspicious
manner. As she is not of a high class she does not wear a branded or
formal costume which clearly depicts the difference in status between
herself and Larreh and his close associates.
