My main role in research for ‘shotg8 productionz’ was costume design. This involved researching opening sequences and watching whole films of our specific genre to find out what costumes will relate to our chosen genre.
As our spoof action comedy film with the main character mimicking the role of British secret agent, so I watched various films that have relation to the genre in general such as:
Jonny English
James Bond
Mission impossible
These are a few examples of films I observed to get ideas for our cast to wear and what props to use as well. I chose the main character to wear a suit as it’s smart and in most ‘secret agent films’ the secret agent always wears a suit as it also represents the upper class as well. A man in a suit represents authority and proffessionalism and means that he is important so the audience know this in the very first shot of the opening sequence. E.g. James bond films fit in to this very well. Also for the villain we felt that a villain doesn’t always wear a suit, with using a contrast of costumes between our hero and villain the audience should be able to recognise who is the hero and the villian straight away, and who has authority as well.
