Costume notes

Flashback scene:
In the flashback scene, our two actors,
Michael (on the left) and Odain, known as
James in the film (on the right) are both
dressed up smartly in suits. The
significance of this was because they were
at a cemetery due to their parents deaths.
The black suits symbolised respect as well
as death, which shows that they are still
mourning the death of their parents.
However we can see a difference in how
they are represented in the colour of their
shirts. Michael is wearing a dark blue shirt,
which is seen to have the connotation of
being sadder about the situation, whereas
Odain is wearing a light pink colour shirt.
This shows that Odain has passed mourning and has the understanding
that his parents have passed away without feeling sad anymore.
Rooftop scene:
Michael here on the right, is wearing all black.
He is wearing a smart black overcoat, with a
black shirt and trousers and shoes. The reason
for him to wear all black was to connote death
and show that he is depressed. The black shows
that he is feeling dull and that there is no
brightness in his life that is making him happy or
wanting him to even be alive. I think that it was
well chosen and that it clearly shows his

On the left, Odain is wearing a casual outfit. He

is wearing a plain great T-shirt with black jeans
and black boots. The representation of this was
to show that the situation was not planned and
that he was going about in his ordinary day. It
shows that it was an emergency and that he
came straight away when he had found out
where Michael was. I think this was a great
choice as he wasnt over dressed or it wasnt
over planned, and that it was just natural, and
how he was in an emergency.
