Costumes

Lucy
The female protagonist would wear white to imply her innocence and vulnerability. This foreshadows she is oblivious to the hearbreak the male protagonist will do to her. She may also wear a pink as this conveys the universal theme of love, but as its a less strong colour than red; it could insinuate young playful love as opposed to red which is deemed as more passionate. Furthermore, the significance of the protagonist having blonde fits in with symbolism of femininity, whilst also referring to the cliche that "blondes" draw male audiences in. Although Lucy would need to wear either pink or white, it would be crucial to have her dressed in more of a casual attire as well, this will make our production look more legitimate and entice teens to watch it as they will relate to her due to her casual outfit. Not just this but it will make the audience sympathize more with Lucy and view Paul more negatively than before due to their ability to emphasize with her. Baring in mind that the shoot is in the winter and the film is set in the winter, obvious winter clothing is needed for our shoot in terms of legitimacy and believability.

Paul
The male protagonist would wear a darker attire to covey a love for rock music with a emo twist. This will add a slight comical twist as it shows more of a surprise when he starts listening to The Beatles. Once he starts listening to The Beatles he adds elements into his attire to show his fixation with the Beatles memoriabillia. Furthermore, Paul may also wear the colour of blue as this symbolises his mellow attitude to the life and is considered to be a stereotypical male colour, it would be a good idea to wear the John Lennon glasses with blue lenses. Paul could be inclined to have some red in his attire as this symobilses romance and passion. In relation to the male protagonist, it is his passion which leads him to cheat on the female protagonist, but it can also be argued that he is a romantic at heart, this is also seen with his love letters to Stella, the remaining Beatles and his artistic tendancies. Consequently, he would also wear a red mp3 player highlight to the audience his love for music which initially overrides his love for Lucy, this would also be a good idea to symbolize his love for music and the possible danger it has caused his relationships. Baring in mind that the shoot is in the winter and the film is set in the winter, obvious winter clothing is needed for our shoot in terms of legitimacy and believability, potentially Paul could wear a dark over coat/trench coat, popularized by The Beatles in the early 60's.

Stella
The other female protagonist may wear the colour of red, as this colour also symbolises a sense of conflict and danger and in relation to the premise of the film; she is the obstcale that halts the unrequited love between the male and female protagonist. She also needs to be in Beatles esque clothing, such as shirts and braces, this will reflect her love for The Beatles, as well as Pauls.


Paul's Friend
The male protagonist may wear neutral colours such as brown, white or grey to symbolise his status as the voice of reason, due to the fact brown in particular symbolises friendship and this can refer to his loyalty to his friend, Paul.
