Planning: Costume For Thomas

As part of the mise en scene, costume is a huge factor in our trailer as it convey's certain characters characteristics through their appearance. Here with these blog spots I will be showing you the costumes of what we are deciding to use on the characters too create a figure and appearance for them to show their age, which can be relatable for the audience of 15+.

Thomas (Christian Hunt) costume:

Thomas is the main character in the short film, portraying one of the 2 teenagers in trouble with prank calling a psychopath. This we feel in an easy choice as we are teenagers ourselves so found it reasonably simple to dress him with everyday clothes. Heres some of the ideas:

Costume: The pictures on the right portray the sort of costume that our character Thomas will have while in the short film. We feel the simple styles and colours such as white t shirt, sand hoodie and a pair of black jeans will be a sufficient style of Thomas to wear. Without taking away his role in the character, the simple colours will portray him as a simple teenager without any care in the world. As certain types of clothes can portray certain things, we felt that this style of clothing will show him to be a 'normal' teenager, who is always 'up for a laugh'.

Hair: We wanted this character to have the suitable 'normal' teenage hair. This was easy due to the fact of Christian already have the suitable blonde hair for a teenager to have and portray to the audience. However, due to the different filming days, we will have to schedule the filming so all haircuts look the same, as this will confuse the audience and not make much sense.
