I also had to think about what my characters would be wearing on these days. I had to think about continuity when shooting, so i decided to come up with a costume for my cast. These costumes would also betray what my characters are like. I have done some drawings of possibilities for each character.

Jay



Sam


In the first pictures both Sam and Jay are quite 'scaly', I feel that this would be an overload of the Liverpudlian stereotype. I also think as an audience you may judge the characters because they are rough and therefore, not pay attention or follow the story.

The second picture shows a posher version of Jay and Sam. I thought that the story would not really work, as although the relationship may be difficult between the father and son if Jay had loads of money he might deal with the problem in a different way. He also defiantly wouldn't go to a housing estate to pick up a present.

I thought the third most nutural costume was the best. It allowed both characters to be seen as characters and not just as stereotypes. This is more enjoyable for the audience as they feel that they are finding something out about these people. These characters are more relatable and it could be the untold story of your friend, neighbour or relative.
