Costume and Make-up.

Here are two pictures of me shopping for some costumes in the British Red Cross. I wasnt planning on buying anything i was just looking for ideas on the style i wanted to create. The style is going to be vintage but very simple. For boys i would like them to be wearing a simple logoed polo top prefibly a navy or burgendee or black and a cardigan with jeans and plimsoles. For the Homosexual character i would like him to wear tighter tops and more brighter coloured just to make some contrast from the other two male characters.
Here is the main characters best friend in the film.
The colours are dark and vintage. I wanted to give the characters a 1960's look with the style and colours. Adam is wearing a Ralph Lauren burgendee polo top with bage trousers, plims and navy blue cardigan (bottom). The other outfit is his more formal clothes.
This is the homosexual character in my film trailer. I have chosen this costume to make him look camp. In commonly known Rom Com's the gay charactre usually is iconic to the genre by making themselves more feminine as the target audeince is directed to females. The pink shirt influences his camp look in contrast to the other male characters in the film trailer.

I have chosen my female character to wear this outfit as it is iconic to my genre of film (Romantic Comedy.) She is wearing it to construct representation of specific social groups i.e. girls aged 12-24. I want her outfit to be casual but sophisticated. As my target audience is aimed at mostly women I wanted her to make my character as a role model to look up to. Not a steretypical female which are nearly alwasy situated in Romantic Comedy films.

Here is a picture of the costume the main character is going to be wearing in some shots. His clothes are plain and dark coloured as this connotes his saddness in the film. I have based my male character on the one in (500) Days of Summer- Tom. The costume which he is wearing is ironic to my specific genre as male's in Rom Com's are represented as a 'sexual' like character which women like to look at.

This is another picture of the main protagonist. These are just his simple every day-day clothes. For his formal clothes he will be hopefully wearing a checked shirt with dark coloured jeans and plims.



Again here is two more pitures of the homosexual character. I have chosen a leather jacket to emphasise on his feminity, as the white tee shirt underneath is quite tight. but the last picture connotes his happiness in the film and trying to impress adam. With the bright pink shirt. The colours really stand out. This represents certain social groups which I wanted to put across to the audience. I want the female target audience to connect with the gay character so i made him fun and to wear fashionable but camp cloths to make him stand out.
