Costume Research

The costumes for our detectives are going to be roughly the same as each other with just little tweaks/differences to them. The costumes for the two males who discover the body are going to be of the same content.


Sirius' costume: Sirius grew up on a bad estate so he tends knows how to look after himself. He is known as a rough & tough guy so he will wear a plain shirt with rolled up sleeves with an open collar to show his masculinity. He will also wear black formal trousers. These items of clothing are usually associated with what detectives wear. It shows a smart side, but also a tough side to him with the clothes he wears & in the way that he wears them. His open collar gives the effect that he's a tough guy but because it's a simple shirt it also looks fairly smart. The masculinity shown shows that Sirius can deal with himself in life having had a bad childhood.

Alex's costume: Alex grew up on a nice estate with a rich family and this is shown through his attire. He wears similar clothing to Sirius but his shirt buttoned up and he has his sleeves down to his wrists. Like Sirius, he wears this with a pair of black trousers. The shirt and trousers are complimented with an open button leather jacket. With the top button being done this won't show any chest or show masculinity, unlike Sirius, but this does however show that he is smartly dressed and knows how to look after himself. The open leather jacket adds a casual look to him and with the shirt and trousers, gives him a casual but smart look at the same time.

Scott's costume: Scott grew up in a bad area, living off his parents & that shows in the way he dresses. He wears hoodies & funnel neck jackets which are often asociated with 'chavs' from poor areas, like Scott is himself. He also wears joggers which poor people are often seen wearing because jeans aren't affordable & this is the case with Scott as he grew up living poorly. The colours of the joggers are & grey is the colour of most metals. Metals are considered hard & this sums up Scott's life.

Matt's costume: Like Scott he's had a hard life & that is represented with the grey hoody that he wears. Teenagers & hooligans are often stereotyped to be wearing hoodies which symbolises a bad repuatation for him. He also wears joggers which are, like Scott's grey, & they give the image that he has had a hard life as well. He always has the hood over his head which makes it look as though he actually is a hooligan & this could have been influenced by his past & childhood.
