Costume


As Ali (Ceaser) is the stereotypical 'youth' in our film, we plan to have him dressed accordingly. His clothing will portray his under/lower social class. The tracksuit (most likely grey) is representative of the boy's youth. Films such as Kidulthood have reinforced this stereotype by dressing their characters in clothes such tracksuits and hoodies. Wearing this costume will hopefully represent the character to the audience to be working/under classed.



As Kirsty is a middle- classed youth, she too will be dressed accordingly, to portray her middle class. This lace skaters dress shows the difference between the lower and middle class, hopefully making the distinction clear to the audience that they are characters from different backgrounds. It also shows her femininity, represented through the single gender dress. Representing her femininity makes her more desirable and neat.
