Casting - Costumes

When storyboarding for our opening scene we had a very clear vision of the costumes and instructed the actors for each scene on what they should wear.

As we wanted to present the idea that it was set in winter and cold in our first scene, it was crucial that the two actors dressed to match the weather. Both actors wore coats, one wore a scarf, and in the opening shot where the camera shows the two hands entwined and then pans up, it is visible that the characters are wearing gloves. This is shown in the photo below, taken directly from our finished product.

For our second scene, we needed to try and portray as best as possible that it was set in canteen - a sixth form canteen. We did so by ensuring that all the characters were dressed in what would be appropriate attire for sixth form, with the 3 male characters in suits and the female friend in smart monochrome. However, the two characters on the left of the shot were both wearing matching ties which we deliberately made sure our protagonist wasn't wearing in order to connote the idea there was a difference between them and him. The costumes for all these characters in the second scene is shown in the photo below, taken directly from the finish product.
