Costume
Helen will be wearing a short mini dress,
Helen’s children
Deano:
The colour scheme of
Deano’s clothes will be bland
and simple this shows he has
style and his personality is not
really overpowering in fact he
is calm and relaxed.
The top denotes white which
connotes innocence, this is
ironic as he moves to Helen
How as an innocent boy
however his ‘new friends’
turn him into a mischievous
lad.
The look which we are
aiming for with Deano is a
sporty jack the lad ‘chav’
stereotype, the trainers and
jogging trousers enhance this.

Helen:
which denotes red. The connotations of red
are passion, danger and love. We have
chosen a colour with these connotations
because we want the viewer to question
what she might bring to Helen How for
example she could bring love which could
cause break ups or love that blossoms a new
relationship. Also red implies that other
characters on the street see Helen as a threat
as she may cause danger.
The short dress and high stilettos make her
character fit into the stereotype of the ‘saucy
seductress’ and this therefore reinforces why
the characters on the streets are looking at
her some with attraction and others with
disgust.

Courtney
Courtny is also in
fashionalble modern
clothing so teenage girls can
relate to her. She however is
showing a lot less skin than
her mother this shows her
insecurities and lack of
confidence which she seeks
to build upon in Helen How.
The colour of her jumper
denotes green; green
connotes envy this is
because Courtney envies
Danielle and she wants to be
more like her rather than the
boring intelligent teen she is
thought to be.

 Charlie:

Charlie is only 5 years old so he

will be wearing clothing that
interests 5 year olds for example
Ben 10 is a programme which
targets 5years and older, this
displays his youth, also white
connotes innocence however he
will cause a bit of mischief in
Helen How.
The jeans are modern and stylish
and the trainers are white which
also connote innocence however
they might be a bit dirty implying
he is going to make a mess in
Helen How.

 Aaron:

JJ:
JJ’s costume will be fashionable

would be in a designer such as

may question if it is the real logo
or is it just a market fake?
His polo shirt will be blue to

and is just out for a laugh.
However he will not be laughing
when he could possibly be the

he is a sporty character and could however the colours are very

innocence which makes the cuteness. This clearly hints to the
