Female Characters Costume 2 (Day 2)

This is the second costume that the female character wore on Day 2 of production. The leather jacket links back to the grunge element of the characters personality and costume as leather jackets are often stereotyped with musicians and the rock and roll lifestyle of alcohol, drugs and partying. Kate wheres this jacket in a scene where her and Theo are drinking rum from a bottle sat in a hut/field, therefore this costume is appropriate for this as she is displaying rebellious behaviour of drinking underage and potentially getting drunk. This links slightly to the drama aspect of the sub-genre. The female's hair is big and curly again linking to this rebellious style and not conforming. The jeans and top are fairly casual and stereotypical of how a teenage female would dress and therefore these are worn to counteract the leather jacket and wild hair and therefore balance out the mise en scene so that the overall style isn't too grungy.
