Characters, costumes, props


There will be three more characters within the story, these are:
Dave
Barry
Steve
These are three 'thugs' as such, that will be on the prowl for poor, poor Edward. The very names of these characters were chosen because they have a common twang about them. The very association of the names with the image that pops into your head (being critically stereotypical in your thoughts) the image of three bulky men, maybe hard up come to mind. With the inspiration of a teenage phil mitchell, we have forth three very sturdy characters. Their costume will nearly be identical to that of Edwards however, a lot more loos fitting, and maybe with a tad more colour as we see more confidence come from these three than we do from Edward. By having looser clothes, we see a lot more movement from the three, it shows they are not constrained in the situation and have a lot more freedom in their actions. From this, without words or a narrative we can take from the outfits and appearance that they have the power within the situation and not that of Edward.

  1. You've outlined key features of Edward's clothing, Sophie. On the back of the green sheet it says you should discuss these thigns in this blog post:

    I think you've done 1 and 2, but what about the others? Add to this blog post to cover these ideas.
