Costumes within trailer

PJ’s / Sleeping wear
.) The Simpsons T-Shirt
.) Elmo boxers
.) Socks
The reason I chose the character to wear pyjamas is because it shows immaturity and on top of that using showing character from TV shows also emphasises this point. Showing Homer Simpson on the t-shirt makes a comparison between him and the protagonist and with Elmo on the boxers it shows how this character is hardly flattering. The socks add to the laziness of the character.

Casual Outfit
.) Hoody (red)
.) Jeans
The casual outfit need look unfashionable, the reason being is because it shows how the protagonist does not care for his appearance. The bright red hoody, due to it being a bold colour, enforces the immaturity in the character but also it connotes as being a rather angry ambiance to the character, this creates enigma for the audience as they do not know why.

Suave Outfit
.) Shirt (white)
.) Trousers
.)Tie (black)
.)Glasses / Shades


The suave outfit is to represent how his life has turned around and gone from an unfashionable ‘loser’ to a more sophisticated, outgoing guy. The white shirt is not only smart-looking but due to its colour it connotes as being innocent which is creating irony. As for the tie, it adds to the ‘smart attire’ making the protagonist appear wealthier. The tie is also known as a symbol of business and money. The glasses/shades create an enigma for the character, not being able to see his eyes properly makes it appear as though he is hiding something and you cannot fully make out his identity. The shows how the character has changed through the course of the narrative.

Suave Outfit (Dirty)
.) Dirty shirt (white)
.) Dirty trousers
.) Missing tie
.) Broken glasses
The suave outfit was to symbolise money, however when the outfit and his appearance is corrupted this can also show how the character is beginning to fall apart. The broken glasses can now reveal who it really is.
