2. PLAIN BLACK T-SHIRT
A plain black t-shirt represents
Dan’s age as most young adult
men wear plain t-shirts, often in
a dark colour. This will reveal
Dan’s age to the audience, as I
found that costumes could do
this in my costume research, for
example with the elderly couple
in The Notebook.
3. RIPPED JEANS
Ripped jeans will show Dan’s
character trait of laziness. As found
in my costume research, Johnny
Depp’s character’s costume in Secret
Window reflected his ‘given up’ state
of mind. Therefore, the ripped jeans
will have a similar effect in revealing
Dan’s personality to the audience.
4. OLD SNEAKERS
Again, as with the ripped jeans,
the old and decrepit sneakers that
Dan wears will also infer Dan’s lazy
and unconcerned personality.
5. BODY ARMOUR
Dan’s body armour will consist of a baking tray strapped to
his chest, cardboard warpped around his arms and a
colander serving as a helmet. These household objects
serving as body armour will create a comedic element as it
would not really serve any protection from a car,
highlighting Dan’s naivety and unintelligence, revealing
more about the character.
