Casting and Costumes

NEW AND IMPROVED, WITH LOTS MORE WORK ON CUSTOMES AND THEIR CONNOTATIONS



To keep with the same style of the band, above, we have decided to have a smart/casual look during the live performance part of the production.


Lead Singer - Owen Taylor




Owen loves his music and has been scouted to be a model in the past. He also has the great look for a front man.Furthermore, he plays the guitar and is a good friend, who will be reliable.

Lead Singer - Quite Smart - Blazer and jeans
The Smartest connotes importance towards the lead singer which will contrast with the other band members and especially the skateboarder. Furthermore, as Owen is the smartest out of the 3 peice, it represents that he is the lead and the frontman of the group.

Bass Guitar - Ryan Hayward



As i am in the production group, it is much easier to have me playing in the band. I will always be around when we film.

Bass and Drums - Shirt and Jeans
After looking at photos of the band and also seeing them live, the band like to wear shirts. We have deciced to mirror this image, with both bassist and drummer wearing shirt and most probably jeans. The shirts represents the more smarter look of the band, while the more casual jeans so there more relaxed side. This can also be related to the target audience, who mostly wear jeans and shirts are in-fashion with the target audience of our band at the moment

Drums - Jake Mardell




Jake is also in the production group and loves to be involved. He likes to play the drums and looks the part.

Drums - Shirt and Jeans (See above for picture and discription)

Skaters - Toby Roper, Jake Mardell





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 maintaince, 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
