This post is about the costume research
that has been completed by our production group.
Protagonist Costume
Research
The protagonist is going to be a man aged between 17-19, we plan
on making him look quite smart so our idea is to have him dressed up in a suit,
with a white shirt so with the scene focusing on the antagonist he can pull his
sleeves down and adjust his tie making him look quite professional.
We
think this would give off the right impression that we want to as we want him
to look smart and professional. We want him to look as if he is higher
class to give of the impression of his job being important, the social
groups that could relate to this character mainly would be business people as
they would have to be dressed like this to go to work. I think the character
would be probably a British white male playing the character, he would be
straight as a character who played this part would more than likely
heterosexual. We feel as a character would be well dressed and looked quite
sharp then he would be quite wealthy.
This
is an example from the Men In Black film, as you can see the character
looks pretty professional and we instantly think of him highly and quite an
important character all because of how he is dressed. This is how we want to
make the audience of our film feel when they are watching it; we want them to
think why the man is dressed how he is and what he is up to.
The Protagonist is again going to be
a man aged between 17 - 19 but this time the character will be dressed quite
the opposite from the antagonist as we want the character to be dressed looked
like a 'chav' although we are going to be challenging the conventions of a
typical chav as our character is going to be quite smart and knows how to hack
in to things which explains the name of our film Hacked.
We want our character to be wearing the
typical clothes, trackies.
These are the clothes that we have in mind
for our antagonist to be wearing, this would sum up the typical chav if the
viewer of a film saw a character in these clothes they would automatically
assume that the character was a chav so that's what we have in mind for our film
as we want to make the audience know right from the start that he's a chav but
as we have challenged the conventions of one so this makes the audience think
slightly different about one.
This is an example from a film, Adulthood
as you can see from the pictures the main characters in the film are all
dressed up in trackies which make the audience think straight away that they
are chavs so we automatically assume what the characters are going to be like
and how we expect them to act in the film. So we want to try and challenge the
stereotype in our film and make our protagonist a clever character.
