AS Media - Costume, hair and makeup (film opening).

1. Costumes, Hair and Makeup.
• Clothing plays an important part into trying to achieve the crime genre.
The clothes I plan to use are unlike the ones used in mafia movies, like
goodfellas or the godfather where the characters wear old-fashioned suits
when being apart of an Italian mob. I am trying to achieve a more modern
take to the genre, taking place in an area that is gradually developing,
following a more street gangster theme. Inspiration is drawn from new
school rappers such as ScHoolboy Q, ASAP Rocky and Logic, as well as the
movie ‘4 Brothers’. Although I feel that the clothing for each character
must not be too ‘out of the ordinary’ so hoodies and jackets will be
commonly used, also to distinguish between each character, I will use
different hats to represent their personality.
• When discussing hair, none of my main characters will have their hair
exposed as they will be covered with a certain style of hat. Only the rookie
is an exception as he is the new member of the gang. To keep the film
opening true to the genre, I believe that real life gang members do not
take the time to fix their hair, instead they use hats frequently, I intend to
use this ideology to achieve a high level of authenticity whilst portraying a
hooligan type of story.
