This is how I could picture Theodore, our main character. In this picture, Robert Patterson has messy hair, along with his scruffy facial hair and depressed look. Our character was miserable the entire play, therefore the movie would need express this. With the right makeup, and shading around the eyes, Theodore would look the part of a drunken depressed slob.

Costumes

• Costumes give a more life-like feeling to films.• They can make a movie technologically complex, such as the 1977 film Star Wars. • At the same time, costumes can add realism to films taken place in earlier time periods. Films such as 300 and The Lord of the Rings would not have been as successful without such detailed and artistic costumes.• Costumes also reflect social class, authority, culture, nationalism, etc.

This is the normal outfit for a modern day Judge. In a film, a Judge is required to wear a costume like this so the audience knows his/her jurisdiction. In our film, the Judge would have had this attire, along with a real Gavel. We would also use a real courtroom with jurors and witnesses.
