Costumes

Each character has two costumes one to be bland and regimented, symbolising their boring everyday lives. The second costume is vibrant, quirky and individual symbolising their extravagant double life when the sun goes down. As a group of characters we have stuck to our original plan of using a quirky vintage style for our double life costumes because it gives the video an extra twist and quirky edge.

The Homeless Man character wears a large old bland jacket in brown with old cords. These items of clothes add to the broken, excluded, isolated and a sense of a homeless person. The old chunky, outdated brown shoes which have seen better days alluding to a long time with no money or care for it. 

Then when he starts to run towards his double life he changes into a conventional suit with a difference as the shirt and tie are contrasting; the tie is greeny-blue where as the shirt is a bright shade of fuchsia which stands out from the mart dark suit. The bowler hat gives the normally isolated and unseen character a quirky individual edge, making him easily identifiable to the audience.

The Business women character wears dark and sharp clothes which reflect her profession in the world of business. In order to convey this she wears a fitted black jacket, with a dark blue checkerboard blouse underneath and to top it all off plain black smart trousers, with plain black pumps and black socks. The checkerboard blouse underneath the black jacket shows to the audience that there is a little bit of fun inside her that she seems to lose when doing her job. 

Her Tea Party outfit is completely contrasting because the main colour is white and the outfit is a dress allowing her to unleash her fun side, minimizing the darkness in her life. The bare legs along with the large gold butterfly earrings, the bright blue belt, the chunky bold bracelets and necklaces build that fun and quirky side which she is almost forced to hide on a daily basis.

The Librarian character wears basic boring smart but comfortable clothes to establish how she is always on her feet doing something in her profession. In the form of black linen trousers, a black vest top and a subtly faded red cardigan, along with a brown belt and brown brogues. Her outfit shows that there was once a love for colour art and literature but the stereotypical everyday on her feet scanning and sorting books has made her forget what she loved in the first place.

Her Tea Party outfit is a lot more vibrant almost as if she re-finds her love for colour by wearing: a multicoloured floral maxi dress, red shoes, multiple multi coloured beaded bracelets. The busy outfit transforms the characters business of work into an array of artistic approval therefore creating a quirky edge to a character that has only just truly been revealed as who she wants to be.



The Tea Party Hosts also keep the quirky extravagant vintage theme in their costumes wearing bright bold colours and impressive patterns. The Female Party Host, Charlotte, wears a remarkable patterned dress which has a lot of volume to it, adding to the chaotic nature of the video itself. The Male Party Host (George) wears an odd suit the jacket in dark grey and the trousers a light grey, with a bowtie which heavily contrasts the pink shirt.
