We asked our model to wear different outfits:
- His normal clothes
- Baggy sweatshirt with Jeans
- Crop top and jeans
- Skater Dress
Screenshots from unedited film footage
Outfit 1
We wanted the model to be more serious and stereotypically masculine whilst wearing the first outfit. We did this because we wanted to show the changes in his confidence, when he was wearing the different outfits.
When this is edited the green screen will be a light blue colour to highlight the masculinity of our model. Blue is associated with the male gender. It is also linked with the ocean which is known to be fierce and uncontrollable. As well as the ocean, blue is associated with the sky and which is a major part in our life as it protects us from the universe around us.
Outfit 2
The second outfit was used to show a slight transition between the 1st and 3rd outfit. The baggy sweatshirt is hiding the masculine shirt; this could be seen as the beginning of the model feeling more confident in dressing in feminine outfits.
We wanted there to be serious poses as well as more laid-back / happier poses, leading up to the final outfit. We wanted to show the fact that the model doesn’t need to act a certain way to wear a certain style of clothes.
Outfit 3
For this outfit we asked the model to be a little bit more confident with his poses to ensure that it’s known that he doesn’t care what people think about him.
Outfit 4
For the final outfit, our model had more serious poses in the original unedited video (which is where I got my screenshots from), however the footage used in the video is showing the model being a lot more laid-back and relaxed in the outfit that he is in.
We used the footage from when the model was in this outfit throughout the film to help foreshadow what will be happening at the end of the film.
