Costume Notes

Arran Sharma – Ty

We have dressed Arran (Ty) in typical school clothing, black pants and a white shirt. Ty challenges the uniform code in school as he is seen as the ‘rebel’; we have refereed to him as the ‘villain’ in the short referring to Vladimir Prop’s theory of 8 main characters. Ty unbuttons the top couple of buttons of his shirt, wears his shirt un-tucked. Ty’s hair is not combed, is has a messy look and he has a beard to try and look cool. Ty tries to acts as if he does not care much about his appearance.

Jon Lupton - Freddie

Jon Lupton plays Freddie McNight, he is seen as the geek therefore we have decided to dress him accordingly. Freddie is dresses quite smart. We have decided to stick with the school boy look, white shirt, tie and black trousers to fit the conventions of a typical school student. Freddie has his top button done up and wears a smart tie. Freddie wears big glasses to add to his geek appearance.

Natalya Martain - Char Natalya Martain plays Char, a popular

cheerleader who is attracted to Freddie. We have dressed Char according to the dress code of a sixth form student, white top and black skirt/trousers. Char also wears long socks and converses these show she is not a typical popular girl who is interested in other people opinions or the typical status she is given. Char wears red lipstick, we decided to add this to Chars appearance as it suggests passion and love but also danger.

Pianki Assegai – Mr Shedeppi

Pianki Assegai plays the teacher in charge of detention, Mr shedeppi. We have decided to dress him in a smart suit with a shirt and tie, this helps show his higher authority over the students and the audience automatically pick up his role in the short film. Mr Shedeppi’s tie is slightly loosened and his top button is undone, this suggests to the audience he has had a long day and is very tiered and annoyed at this point.
