Mr. Shedeppi, the detention teacher, wears a smart suit with a loosened tie and unbuttoned top to suggest he is tired after a long day.

1. Costume Notes

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Natalya Martain - Char
Natalya Martainplays 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.

5. Pianki Assegai – MrShedeppi
PiankiAssegai plays the teacher in
charge of detention, Mrshedeppi.
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.
MrShedeppi’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.
