Modified - Costumes

My partner Megan completed this:

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 #1 The costume that we have decided to use for our 
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.
