Costume Planning

The final piece we are creating is set in modern time so finding the needed or making the needed costumes will not be hard but we do want to get costumes that suit the characteristics of the people we are trying to portray.

Creegan        

- Creegan, the young and healthy dealer who prospers on selling others addictive drugs, for this character we wanted to create the appearance of his healthiness as he sells but does not take these harmful and life changing drugs, to do this we have decided to give him a cleaner yet casual look.

To do this he will ware newer and fresher clothes which shows he is untouched from the harm he is causing and also it helps us show the audience he is not like the addicts that come to him he is just using their problems to prosper.

 Toby

- Toby, the protagonist of our film and a desperate yet hopeful drug addict who is trying to change his ways but keeps getting dragged back in by the people around him, the hardship and struggles he has gone through are what we want to truly represent in his costume so to do that we have decided on giving him older clothes but trying to make it clear he is trying to change his ways by the style in which he wears them, for example he has his shirt tucked in at the front but out at the back, this also helps us show that he is "Broken" and although from the "front" he seems fine and healthy, it’s clear from "Behind" that he is in fact really unwell and can’t take care of himself.

 We believe that with these costumes we will be able to capture the audience and help them appreciate the characters in more depth and understanding.
