Costume

We plan to have Ali (Caeser) and Jotham (Link) dressed as a stereotypical youths, for example, the main characters in Kidulthood. A modern tracksuit would suffice. This clothing will portray them as working class youth. Wearing tracksuits out of a track is usually associated with working class. Audiences will immediately be able to recognise the characters as working class. In films such as Kidulthood and Adulthood, a lot of the characters wear tracksuits and hoodies which reinforced to the modern day audience the idea of a stereotypical working class youth. Choosing Ali and Jotham (Caeser and Link) to wear this will hopefully work as a signifier as we planned.






Kirsty's character being middle classed means Kirsty will be dressed accordingly. Her clothing will portray her as a middle class girl. A lace skater dress seems appropriate. This dress compared to the tracksuit shows a difference between working and middle class. the elegance of the dress compared to the simplicity of a tracksuit further reinforces the difference in classes. Along with her home and technology, I hope the audience is able to recognise Kirsty (Florence) as middle class.
