The document discusses costumes and props used in a video project focused on teenagers. Three main characters - John, Bella, and Lola - have distinct styles represented by their costumes. John wears darker colors like black and grey to portray his inner turmoil, while Bella also wears dark makeup and colors to seem cold. Lola is depicted as lively by wearing brighter colors. Props are kept minimal but include alcohol often held by John to indicate he is an alcoholic, flour standing in for cocaine used alone by John, and phones shown in shots of characters calling each other to make them relatable to a teenage audience.

1. Costume and props

2. Costume
Due to it being based on teenagers, I wasn’t
overly strict on what my characters wore as
long as it managed to keep a certain
impression I wanted to give off. There were
three of the characters that I wanted to have
a more set style.

3. John
Since he is the more unstable one of the
group, I wanted John to usually be seen
wearing darker colours like black and grey. I
wanted them to represent the turmoil and
darkness in his own life.

4. Bella
O Another character I have dressed more in
darker colours, and also wearing
noticeably darker makeup than the rest of
the girls. This is symbolising her as the
colder more cruel member of the group.

5. Lola
O The more lively, happy one in the group, I
show this by having her contradict the
attires of John and Bella, having her dress
in brighter colours.

6. Props
O There weren’t many props necessary for
my video, except for a small few things, to
build character representations and some
items commonly used by teenagers,
creating a more relatable feel.

7. Alcohol
O Primarily seen used by my unstable
character, to show him as an alcoholic he
is often seen with a bottle of something,
usually beer or vodka. In almost every
shot he appears in the trailer he can be
seen with alcohol.

8. Flour
O Used as a stand in for cocaine, which is
taken by my unstable character when
away from the other characters,
representing him as a possible junkie.

9. Phones
O In several shots throughout, various
characters can be seen on their phones. They
are either making a call to another character,
or just using it in the shot. This is an attempt
to make them seem more relatable to my
audience, who would be mainly teenagers
themselves who are often using their phones.
