1. Costume and Styling

2. Ash
Ash is a rather mysterious and dark person and this is translated into her clothing. The
colour black connotes mystery and often presents a sense of power which suggests that
Ash may ultimately have the power in the friendship group. Although, black could also
connote fear and evil which means that Ash’s clothes foreshadow how she becomes evil
and the fear that her friends have of her. The clothes are rather casual which suggests that
she does not care too much about her appearance and is more of a laid back person.

3. Don
Don appears to be the leader of the group and therefore has to be presented in a more
formal fashion. His clothes present him to be rather sophisticated as he looks put
together and this connotes his power and he looks more mature than his friends. Also,
he wears dark clothing which once again connotes power and adds a sense of mystery
to him as he is a rather stuck up person which adds to his mysteriousness because it
seems as if he is not relatable and we are unaware of how he is actually like.

4. Brenda
Brenda is a very girly person and this shows in her style and clothing. She often wears a
lot of pink which connotes femininity the colour often connotes caring and affectionate.
This suggests that Brenda may be the compassionate person who everyone turns to.
Also, her girly style suggests that she may be weak in comparison to Ash as women tend
to be represented as vulnerable and unable to fight. Therefore, this is a good contrast to
Ash as we can see the differences between the two girls.

5. Google
Google is the smart one of the group and stereotypically tends to be called the “nerd”
therefore, his style and clothing should represent this. A stereotypical item of clothing is
glasses which presents the nerd aspect, although, the casual jumper and jeans suggests
that he is laidback and may not be the typical nerd as he does not look done up. Though,
the shoes present a different image as it could suggest that he is rather formal as it
would be expected for a boy of his age to wear trainers or more casual shoes.

6. Johnny
Johnny is the comedic character and often these types of characters are presented in
casual clothing to show their careless and relaxed persona. The casual t-shirt and jeans
connote his relaxed personality as it does not look like he cares too much about his
appearance. Also, the hoodie adds to the laidback and careless style he has. The trainers
add to the stereotypical image of a teenager and suggests he conforms to that image.
