Progeny: Costumes

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.
