Costume

Leanne's costume was picked out to stereo-typically represent a gang member.
Her shoes, plain white to represent her innocence that she once had. Her shoes are trainer like, representing her as 'street'.  

Her plain black leggings to represent her trying to fit in and not stand out. Also to represent the darkness that is now in her. 

A plain black t-shirt to keep her hidden and basic. 

Finally, a light coloured hoody. Stereotypical related to the youth and gangs. Keeps her identity hidden and emphasis's the idea that she is hiding something, causing trouble. 

This basic clothing shows that her appearance is not her main priority and that our character is trying to hide instead of being noticed.

This is the photo we used for our final scene. It is Leanne and Alicia when they were younger. We chose this photograph as it shows Leanne and Alicia at a young age which indicates they have had a long close friendship. There is also a boy in the photograph which leads the audience on to ask who these two other children are and why Leanne is getting rid of the photo.

Leanne

Attempting to get Leanne's facial expression to be a mix of worry, guilt and emotional is going to be a challenge as she tends to crack out a smile and a giggle pretty much every time we film her! We need to get her practicing her facial expressions in order for our ending to the 2 minute opening to be clear of its meaning.

Tomorrow I will be taking a picture of Leanne and Alicia for our final shot in our 2 minute opening.
I am hoping to make them two look like great friends in a happy lighting and nice setting.
Once I have got the picture, I will upload it to my blog to show you all!
