Why we chose the costumes we did

* When we established that are film would be about a Geek how was sick of being bullied and when she found out that there was a street dance competition she decided that the only way to beat the bullies was to become “Street”

* We decided our costumes choices for the Geek by looking on Google images to see what results came up when you type in “Geek outfit” we also used are own perceptions of how a stereotypical “geek” looks like and we wanted to make it as exaggerated as possible because our film is a parody, and parodies tend to be extreme so it can pull fun at the subject as much as possible.

* When we looked up “Geek outfits” on Google, many of the results that came up had similarities, for instance they all wore big black glasses and so we decided to incorporate that into our own Geek’s outfit, we wanted to make it her signature thing she wore that she wore at all times because it’s the accessory that defines who she is.

* We also found that many of them wore bright colours, if you look to the top left hand corner, Katy Perry who is a singer and who is often in the Media for our research we thought it was useful to see what people in the Media think the stereotypical “geek” looks like and use it for our own character and so we decided that our geek we would wear bright colours

* When we had a scene with all the geeks we couldn’t make all there costumes as exaggerated as possible because we had little time to put the whole thing together and so in order for the audience to see that these characters are geeks we decided that they should all wear the big black glasses just like the main geek does.

· Because the film is all about a “geek” who turns “street” so she can get back at the bullies her made her life a misery we had to establish what she would wear when she had turned “street”

· Because we established that we didn’t want her to succeed in becoming “street” she would still wear bright colours the only difference would be that she would wear a hooded zip up jumper which we believe is a common perception that many people think represent the “street” look.

· Furthermore for some of the other minor characters we had to make decisions about their costumes, the girl in our trailer who auditions for our main “nerd” we decided that the fact that she was auditioning with a ballet dance she would wear a leotard as this is a traditional dress for a ballerina.

· We looked up on Google some images of ballerinas so we could get a better idea for her costume.

We wanted our dancer to wear pink as it seemed that when we looked up “ballerina” this was the common colour that they wore, we couldn’t find a pink leotard but instead we got a pink wrap to go around the girl.
