Alterations

Mise-en-scene

Fortunately I live in a home full of girls, which means that making it clear to the viewer that Jack’s daughter ‘Sophie’ is of a young age is going to be easy. I have pink duvet which was mine when I was little with “I love my cat” written on it which looks very childish. We’re also going to place girly things around the room such as fluffy teddies, cushions and my sister’s cupcake money box. This makes it clear that Sophie is stereotypically young and female, her exact age does not need to be pinpointed.

We’re also going to place a smart black shirt, associated with the workplace, hanging up in my mum’s room (where Jack will wake up) so it is clear that he is a working father about to get ready to go off to work. This will play alongside my mum’s modern, simplistic bedroom design (a floral duvet and plain cream walls), making Jack seem like more of an adult than he did in our previous video. In addition to this we are going to place a can of beer in the fridge so that when Jack opens it he comes across as an adult here too.

Costume

Jack, in our first opening sequence, woke up wearing Calvin Klein boxers. This is perfectly believable nightwear for a male, however to make Jack appear more fatherlike and to make it even more believable we agreed that he should be wearing pyjama’s of some kind.

Jack is going to be wearing tracksuit bottoms which emphasise comfort and rest, and they’re simple which is just what we need to portray in his character.

He will also wear a plain grey t shirt, again to make him appear older and more father like, by keeping it simple.

Our choice of clothing is simply just to try to make everything that little bit more believable.
