Reflecting on our costume choices

As a group, I think we choose our costumes very well.

We started by looking at films that we took inspiration from, for example the Breakfast Club, and looked at what each character wore.

For example, for the princess character, she wore a pink top to represent the "girly" type character.

We saw how they represented their characters and choose to do the same sort of thing. For our princess character we choose very girly, over exaggerate girly, snobbish clothing that you would see in general London. For our "princess" character, the popular girl, who was originally played by myself, I choose very ridiculous sized black heels, a leather jacket, high waisted black jeans and a pink top as a relation to the breakfast club princess character. Then the actor changed who played the princess character and I think her costume worked very well because it fitted the character. 

I think Akrems outfit worked very well because of the dark clothing he wore and it represented the character well, which was the "hoodrat" and the rebel type character. So it was fitting that he wore a hat underneath a grey hoodie and a black jacket onto to show he was this character. 

I really liked Shannons outfit as it fit her hipster character really well, it was the perfect stereotypical outfit with the checked shirt and the hat as well as the prop she used of the penny board.
