Organising Costume and Props

Costume and Props

Costume and props are important as they can tell the audience more about the characters, storyline and genre. They can use signifiers to connote the genre and feelings of the characters, these are important for the target audience. Costume and props will represent the characters and can tell the audience their social status, occupation ethnicity, emotion of the character and setting. The colour of costume and props can also influence the audience's feeling and emotion by giving depth to the character. 

What will I need to consider when organising costume and props?

How many models do I need and who are the characters?

Overall I will need five models to use for my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I plan to use three on my front cover and double page spread and the rest for my contents page to make my magazine more varied to appeal to my target audience. They will be aged at 16-17 as this is part of my target audience so it will relate to my target audience.

The costumes of these characters will likely be made up of skinny jeans and t-shirts as in my genre research I have found that is what pop-punk artists usually wear.

Examples of costume:

These pop punk artists are generally wearing shirts and t-shirts with jeans making their costumes look not out of the ordinary. They also have wristbands, necklaces, hats and tattoos which I will consider to use in my own magazine.
