When creating the film I had to figure out how each character was going to be presented. The main look I was going for was making the consumes as natural and modern as possible. Because most of the film was filmed in My Sixth Form building and apart of our policy is to be able to wear our own clothes. This is an aspect which i wanted to bring toward our film when focusing on the costume of the characters
Also By the way that the characters are presented can create representations towards them,
Rory and Kyle
I wanted them both to wear a Cap Jeans and Trainers which are traditionally worn by British Youths. this would paint negative representations because they are dressed informally which could bring forth the connotation of intimidation . These representations can link to the one media theory which I have studied. Such as, "Stereotyping" (Assuming Rory and Kyle are going to cause trouble due to what he is wearing causing them to look intimidating to specific audiences.
Kaylah
I wanted Kaylah to wear Jeans, a T- Shirt, Trainers and a Cardigan, which makes her representation look completely different, The use of costume would make her look more masculine slightly, which challenges the theory of the "Male Gaze Theory". This is because she won't be dressed in a feminised way to draw the attention of the male gender which is the effect which i wanted to achieve I also wanted the audience to look more at her emotions rather than the way she looked.
As the Ghost she needed to look believable, I had to consider what in particularly I needed to do to allow her look more scary which would have an positive effect on the film. I proposed that she wore a old nightgown. This therefore gave the effect that she came from the past which links to the Main Plot within the film.
