Costume

 H) What kind of clothes does each character wear and what do the clothes tell us?

The character of the boy will be wearing a formal black suit, as he is still studying at sixth form. This gives him a look of importance and an overall image of an educated individual. In addition the suit image fits within the Indie genre and this is the most important thing to achieve.
I also think that the character of the boy should wear a hat like the boy on the right is wearing, because this reminds me of a classic boy from the 1800's (lol). This revival of fashion is something that is common to the indie genre and vintage clothing is something that is quite popular.

The girl will be stereotypically dressed as an innocent female, with dresses and pretty delicate clothing. This will make her seem vulnerable like Red Riding hood and the big bad wolf which is an Inter-textual reference. However I think it will be a little impossible to have her running through a forest in white constantly, so we may have her dressed in Indie clothing. Jeans, leather and interesting jewellery and general interesting clothing should be used, if we cannot get white clothing.
The images above and below are the type of ideal clothing we would use, but if this is not possible, we will improvise.
