Our group doesn't need to worry about costume changes, as our film is set in a school enviroment so everyone in our film will already be in uniform.
Mr Jones will be in a smart suit, which he does not need to change. one Male teacher will be used in our film.
Miss Smith is in a smart suit also, which she does not need to change. One female teacher will be used in our film.
The children are wearing the exact same uniform, only some of the uniform will need to be a bit loose and personalized, while the other uniforms will be neat and tidy. We will be using 10 children (Boys and Girls). 5 will be brain washed children and the other children just as background pupils, going to and from classroom.
These are a few costumes that our characters will be wearing, they are from the Tv Series, Waterloo Road.
Mr Jones
We have looked at a few teachers, researched by ourselves and have asked others members in our media group, what teachers should look like. The overall results were;
Image 1 - Geography / History
Image 2 - Head-teacher / Senior Teacher
Image 3 - Drama.
We can identify that our headteacher (Mr Jones) can fit the describtion of picture two becuase of this characters smart business clothes with his cufflinks showing and his top button done up. Picture 1 is a young teacher, stylish shirt, loose tie and shirt, showing that he is new to the job and is very relaxed. Where as picture 3 shows a older member of staff in a plain shirt and tie. We can also see the importance of each character because of the way they dress.
Miss Smith
We are going to cast our character, Miss Smith, in line with the photos above. We have researched the pictures from google and have found that common female teachers should wear;
Cut off blouse (simple colours - blue, red, pink and white)
Cut off High Jumper
Black trousers.
High Heeled shoes or stilettos.
