2. My first thoughts on the use of costume was relevant to the
Documentary as a whole. What is the documentary about? How
can I present this through the effective use of costume. I believe
that this task was rather simple for me as I am creating a
educational documentary based on a secondary school.
Monitoring human behaviour when referred to their education.
Mainly what I immediately liked about the use of costume in the
documentary, it wasn’t only effective, it was straight to the point
and you could feel used to the environment straight away.
There was a negative that came to mind however, there was a strong
element of disappointment due to the expectation of a typical
school uniform. Perhaps I will take this into an account when
creating mine, perhaps another manner of costume is necessary.
After evaluating the meaning of the documentary, I concluded that
the most appropriate form of costume is to be a smart uniform for
the students of Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary school. Living
up to the expectations of most secondary schools across the UK
during present day. The uniform will consist of a shirt and tie, blazer,
school trousers and smart footwear. (Jumper optional). For the adults
of this documentary mainly teachers and teaching assistants, they
shall be dressed strictly to a high standard setting an example for
the students in which they are responsible for. This costume will
consist of smart, office wear. (Suit for male/smart clothing for
female.)
