The band has 3 members and we have carefully casted 3 people who we feel fit the piece and we know will be reliable through the production of the piece.

Costumes

Lead Singer - Quite Smart - Blazer and jeans

The lead singer will be the smartest which connotes importance. This will contrast with the other band members and especially the skateboarder. Furthermore, as Owen is the smartest out of the 3 piece, it represents that he is the lead and the front man of the group.


Bassist and Drummer - Shirt and Jeans

Looking at photos of the band and also seeing them live, the band like to wear shirts. We have decided to mirror this image to match the genre of the music. The shirts represents a smarter look to the band, while the jeans show a more casual side. This can also be related to the target audience, which by looking at the audience at the gig, wore mostly jeans and casual clothing.




Skaters - Hoody and Jeans



Skaters - Hoody and Jeans (Stereotypical 'skater' clothing)
Below are the stereotypical look of a skater. We have decided to use the baggy jeans and hoody as it helps to make the production look authentic. Furthermore, the dress sense of these characters is something that the target audience can relate to. The look of the skaters also connotes their way of life. Their clothing isn't very flashy or high maintenance, which is reflected in their life style. We are also going to get him to wear a hat (below). This is a 'cool' trend at the moment and therefore matches the 'cool' skateboarding image
