This document outlines costume plans for characters in a film. For the character of John, dark colors are chosen to represent shadows and trauma, and a messy, ruffled appearance signifies this. Characters A and C will be costumed similarly to imitate John. Character B will appear ragged and confused to portray her literal and figurative disarray. Molly and others will wear dark business attire to maintain a surreal tone while their profession requires business wear. The Boss's fashionable costume aims to demonstrate her high position. Props include a folder and popcorn to advance specific scenes.

1. Costumes

2. Rough outline for John

3. Reasons
• Colour – colour is symbolic in this piece. It’s
dark and for shadows that nature, henceforth
the dark but suave look.
• Appearance – Speaking with Kaveh, we agreed
on John also looking messy to show a
trauma, such as ruffled hair and stubble.

4. Rough outline for A and C

5. Reasons
• As with John and the piece, A and C will also
be wearing something along these lines,
almost imitating John.

6. Rough outline for B (photo credit to
Bernhard Lang)

7. Reasons
• B is more messy, she is confused. By showing
this, I thought if we gave her a ragged
impression it would give her the appearance
of someone in a literal and figurative mess.

8. Rough outline for Molly

9. Reasons
• They’re in a business, so most of it will be
business wear. The clothing still has to be dark
though to portray the surreal aspect of the
film.

10. Rough outline for Boss

11. Reasons
• The Boss is imposing, but the fashion aspect
also helps to show how high up she is.

12. Props

13. Reasons
• Folder – it’s what The Boss has to throw down
on John’s desk.
• Popcorn – in scene four, I’ve rewritten it so
John’s mind is a student theatre space, with A
eating popcorn.
