We considered a number of
clothing options when choosing the costume for our practical production. We made
the final decision to place both the teenage and infant boy in clothes in which
typical males their age, culture and ethnicity would wear. Above is a selection
of clothes in which the characters will wear in different scenes. The clothes
for the teenage boy, Liam (on the left) are clothes in which a typical teenage
boy from England would tend to wear as they are from popular clothing lines for
that age range including River Island and Topman. By making the decision to
dress the teenage boy in common clothing expresses that he is a regular
teenager boy who leads a regular life, e.g. goes to school, and lives with
parents. The clothes for the infant boy, Alfie (right) are also considered to
be clothes which are typically worn by children of that age. Some of these
clothes appear similar to Liam’s; we hope the audience will detect this feature
as it indicates how he idolises him as he is copying his choice of clothing
this further emphasises the close relationship which we are trying to create.
