Busking/Traveling scenes: For the our characters first outfit we wanted to create a realistic look for someone on the streets of London, so we asked her to wear lots of layers, including a hoodie, jacket and a scarf. We also asked her to bring a large backpack and gave her a guitar to carry whilst wearing this outfit, which gives the impression that she is carrying most of her belongings with her.
Prostitution Scene: Prostitution is a key aspect in our trailer, as it is what the girl turns to when she is struggling to make money for her ill dad. We thought it was important to show this in a subtle way, in keeping with the feel of our trailer. One of the ways to show this subtlety was through her clothing. In this scene she wore a red vest top with thin straps. This firstly helps to signify that she is a prostitute by wearing not wearing much clothing, and most importantly the colour of the top is red. The colour red is associated with love and danger and it is very commonly associated with prostitutes, as it was a colour often worn by prostitutes far back as the 15th century to set themselves apart from other people.
Make-up: We thought that it was important for the character to wear make-up in the prostitution scenes to reinforce the message. She wore red lip stick, which again we choose because of the significance of the colour, and she also wore dark eye make-up. We smudged the make-up for the public toilet scene to emphasis the distress and the different emotions the character is going through.
