Costumes (sketches and annotations)

Henry's boyfriend


Henry Fitzgerald

Dr Henderson




































Henry Fitzgerald:
We have dressed our main character Henry in smart clothing consisting of a collared shirt, a buttoned up cardigan, smart trousers and smart shoes. We have done this represent his personality and the background that he is from as his parents are posh and highly religious. By him wearing these smart clothes the audience will be able to tell the background he is from. The audience will also be able to tell that the film is set in the present day from the costumes that each character is individually wearing.
Henry's boyfriend:
We have chosen to make our main characters boyfriend a drug user who comes from a unprivileged background. By dressing our character up in ripped jeans, a hoodie and trainers the audience will immediately be able to see this. By dressing him up in stereo typically ‘chavy’ clothes and dressing Henry up in stereo typically ‘posh’ clothes you will instantly be able to see the juxtaposition/ contrast between the two characters. This helps to show that they are an unlikely couple however have somehow found love with each other. It will also help to pave the way for our main story line which consists of both of the male characters contracting HIV/AIDS. By dressing him up in stereo typically ‘chavy’ clothes and presenting him as a drug user, the audience will then be able to see how the HIV/AIDS is initially contracted and therefore allowing fluidity in our story line.
Doctor:
For the doctor, we chose her to wear a smart outfit consisting of a buttoned up collared shirt, a long midi skirt and smart shoes. We have done this to make the film realistic because if she was a real doctor she would be wearing a smart outfit for the workplace to make her look presentable and welcoming to her patients.
