R&P Post 16: Costume Planning

Costumes:
In terms of costumes we are only going to use quite simplistic, everyday clothes to give our opening scene a more natural and realistic feel to give a sense that our film is about someone's real life. When deciding what exact costumes our characters should wear, we looked at what people wear to the gym in general. For example:





We also looked at what clothing boxer fighters wear:








As our film project is only shooting the opening sequence of our feature film and we want this to be about the beginning of Maya's story as an aspirational boxer, we have decided for our costumes that we are going to use gym clothes instead of traditional boxer fighting clothing which you can see just above. Later on in our film we will build up to a big fight scene where you see our characters wearing this particular type of clothing to show how our main character, Maya, is really aiming to be a professional boxer. 

The costumes that we are planning to use for each character are relatively similar; this is  an outline of what each character will wear:


  • Maya: sport leggings, hoodie, waterproof jacket (only when entering the boxing gym)and trainers.

  • Drew: jogging shorts with sport leggings underneath, vest and trainers.


  • Coach Stiles: tracksuit bottoms, hoodie/sweatshirt and trainers.
