Costumes / Characters & their basic background - Done by Chelsea

The first character we see is a young woman (around the age of 30-35), she appears on the screen within the first 10 seconds of the opening sequence. We have looked at her character in great detail so that we are able to analyse the evaluation questions and we can look into the idea of stereotypes of women by analysing the representation of gender through our opening sequence. This character is the only female in our sequence. We have pictured her to look like the image below. We also hope to convince Miss Wilson at the school to play this character.

We are also introducing a character which plays the woman above's husband. Hoping to be played by Mr. Smith however we only hear this characters voice. At no point do we see or meet this character.

The second character that actually appears on the screen is being played by Aman in our group, this characters journey begins as we see him exit a train and continue walking. We imagine his costume to look along the lines of the image below.

As Aman's character exit the train, he continues walking and as see him glare at another character as he walks out of the train station, it is dark outside (POV shot), here we meet out 3rd character on screen , this character is a young white male appears to be around 20-30 years of age. When we meet this character, he is smoking outside of the train station and we see him glare over to Aman's character, a close up shot or a POV shot (still undecided)  here we are making the audience aware that there is already some sort of conflict between both of these characters. The character paying for the coffee - we imagine to be costumed like the image below.

We see a drunk man walking down an alley as our next character, he is seen to be obviously dangerous and just by this short scene we notice that this character is going to play a big part in the sequence. He has clearly been drinking a lot and appears to be an alcoholic, we want him wearing a white short with no jacket or coast but we want the shirt to be completely dirty as if h has been wearing it for days, holding a beer bottle, the audience can interpret that this character could be an alcoholic and it makes the scene seem tense. As you can see from the image below; this is what we want our character to look like.

The final character that appears in the scene, appears outside of the house where the poker game will take place. this character turn up in a speeding car that skids as it appears outside of the house - at this point in time we still do not know what costume we want this character to be wearing but we know we want him to be different from the other characters. This will be a job distributed to one of the other members of my group over the half term.

We will be updating the drivers choice of clothing soon
