GRIMCostume, Hair & Make Up

Conor (Jack)Antagonist

Make up- Jack is to wear no makeup. He is portrayed to be a strong, mysterious and quiet character. His background is unknown within the students at school, Jack keeps himself to himself.Hair- short straight comb over, jack is a very smart and presentable person, he doesn’t know much about clothes and trends as he has spent most of his life by himself, he knows how to dress accordingly to the schools dress code. Costume- Navy blue Barbour jacket, white suit shirt with patterned tie, black slim fit suit trousers and smart shoes. Jack follows the school dress code, this could link to Jack’s religion and how he lives his life as a devoted Christian, but could also be due to his naivety. Jack hasn’t come across rebellious behaviour or any influences as such, so he believes that he should do whatever he is told to do by those with authority. The dark colours connect Jack with his dark background and history, ones that his new classmates wont be able to understand or relate with. It also shows that he is mysterious as nobody really knows who he is. Could also foreshadow that Jack is a dangerous person, one that brings death.

Martin (Devante)Wrath 1st VictimMake up- Devante is to wear no makeup. He is portrayed to be a strong, mischievous and dangerous character due to his connections. Caught up in a life of crime outside of school that his fellow classmates are unaware of, Devante works hard to keep a reputation at his school.

Hair- Short level 2 Afro-Caribbean fade with mid parting. This shoes that despite his crazy private life, Devante is still interested in following current trends and styles, as this haircut is very common (currently) within the afro-carribean community. Devante is vain but still makes the effort to look good, especially now that he has split with Jodie, who viewed to be the best looking and most popular girl in the sixth form

Costume- Navy blue parka coat, black jumper with a gold chain round the neck. Black skinny jeans and black canvas shoes. Devante completely ignores the school dress code. This is because his character is stubborn, arrogant and believes that he may do as he pleases. The dark colours connect with his dark lifestyle of petty crimes and violence, and also shows that he is intimidating.

It is later discovered that he is bound to clash with Jack, and effectively is his first victim so the dark colours may signify and foreshadow that Devante’s life is in danger.

Shannon (Jodie)Fornication 2nd Victim

Make up- Jodie uses less makeup then it would presume a girl of her character would in order to promote her natural beauty. She likes to keep it natural and applies very little makeup, other than foundation, eyeliner, lip-gloss and will also have bright pink blusher. Jodie, like Hayley too, is aware of her looks, therefore knows not too try too hard with makeup.

Hair- Long, light brown hair, down. Jodie’s hair is flocks and waves around in a casual manner. This shows that Jodie is confident, as she makes no particular effort into straightening or curling her hair, trying different hairstyles or even trying to stand out with an exotic hair style. She keeps it natural, and still knows that this particular hairstyle will still suit her.

Costume- grey crotchet knitted jumper, light pink skater skirt, black tights and black shoes. Jodie dressed in a voluptuous way to attract the other gender. In the trailer she does so but still manages to try to match the schools strict dress code. This may show her sneaky side as she is seen as the innocent little girl by her parents and those with authority, but when she’s not around them she switches back to her old promiscuous self.

She wears bright colours such as pink to show her femininity and childishness, as well as blacks and greys to show that she can be formal. Jodie tends to show a bit of skin with her outfits, this can portray her personality as she is mischievous, erotic and cheeky character.

Sophie (Amanda) Blasphemy 3rd VictimMake up- Dark eye makeup , dark lipstick.

Hair- Hair down and around her face.

Costume- All black. Skirt, tights, jumper, choker.

Make up- Dark eye make up, dark lipstick. Amanda instead chooses to take on the natural look, but applies the mascara and eye shadow to sharpener her eyes. The message to the audience will be clear that this character clearly spends a lot of time making up their face, rather than going for the more natural look which could indicate a level of vanity. The behaviour of this character will make it clear that the heavy layers of make up are not a result of insecurity. It will be obvious that this character has a high opinion of herself.

Hair- straight hair down, that freely hangs around her face. This shows that Amanda isn’t insecure. She likes the way she looks and has chose to separate herself rom the rest of her classmates. She is confident that this look is the one for her, and likes to embrace her style.

Costume- black skirt with black and green chequered trench coat, with heeled boots and tights. She will still dress to match the school uniform regulations but will try and bend it as much as possible. Due to her vanity, she acknowledges that she is attractive and believes that she is more prestigious then her fellow schoolmates, therefore instead dresses to match that of a successful woman. The jumper shows that despite her sophisticated approach, that this is not the best to come from her wardrobe, and shows that this is a casual look.

Rachel (Hayley) Vanity 4th victim

Make up- To show this characters vanity, she will be in a lot of makeup. This will mean that she will be likely to be wearing heavier eye makeup and more noticeable shade of lipstick. It will be obvious that she is wearing layers of foundation, the message to the audience will be clear that this character clearly spends a lot of time making up their face, rather than going for the more natural look which could indicate a level of vanity. The behaviour of this character will make it clear that the heavy layers of make up are not a result of insecurity. It will be obvious that this character has a high opinion of herself.

Hair- Curly wavy hair, that freely hangs around her face. She is confident that this look is the one for her.

Costume- tight black skirt with cropped jumper, with heeled boots and tights. She will still dress to match the school uniform regulations but will try and bend it as much as possible. Due to her vanity, she acknowledges that she is attractive and believes that she is more prestigious then her fellow schoolmates, therefore instead dresses to match that of a successful woman. The jumper shows that despite her sophisticated approach, that this is not the best to come from her wardrobe, and shows that this is a casual look.

Sasha (Katy)Envy 5th VictimMake up- little to none. This emphasises Katy’s character. She decides not to make the same amount of effort in the morning then her two compatriots Jodie and Hayley would. Why? Because she believes that she is not worthy. Katy's character has low self esteem and she works extremely hard not to show it, so she keeps her makeup basic so that she doesn't have to feel that she’s trying so hard. She bears that “everyday” makeup consisting of a satisfying amount of mascara and eyeliner. She does it in a way that wouldn’t stop the boys but also help her feel confident enough to go out.

Hair- Up in a bun. Each day Katy attempts to pull of the ‘half hearted’ look. She does this so she can look different to both Jodie and Hayley, she feels that she cannot aspire to be like them because she believes that they are out of her league. She envies them heavily because they don’t have to try hard in order to look pretty.

Costume- black jeans, grey jumper and black canvas shoes. This once again shows that Katy prefers to keep it casual. Her lifestyle matches her dress sense. Despite the schools strict dress code, Katy still manages to get away with wearing black skinny jeans, this may signify that she’s a quiet and unnoticeable character outside her friendship group and is simply missed by the teachers, hence managing to get away with the jeans.

Joe (Trevor)Chloe’s Friend 6th Victim

Make up- Trevor is to wear no makeup. He is seen as a nice, noble and caring character that is first to listen to Billie’s cry. He also represents the majority of sixth form students that are caring and down-to-earth. Not the most popular guy in his sixth form, Trevor gets by and is liked by the students that he is acknowledged by, he later establishes an alliance with Billie and attempts to take down Jack. Hair- slicked back, Trevor is a very smart and presentable person, he has his own style and likes to show off his wardrobe. Trevor would come underneath the ‘hipster’ group for the way he dresses Costume- denim blue jean jacket, black turtle neck, black slim fit suit trousers and smart shoes. Trevor is also one to bend the rules and follows the school dress code to an extent, this could show Trevor's character as one that likes to express himself but is also aware of what he can and cant do.

Chloe (Billie)Final Girl

Make up- For the character of the final girl we will have her with plain makeup, nothing more than just foundation and mascara. This is to support her character as an innocent girl. She doesn’t belong in a group with the popular girl but is still happy with her life regardless. She doesn’t feel the need to impress anyone and is happy looking ‘simple’.

Billie has a fringe, her hair would be in a way that will not cover her face entirely but will have a fringe that will cover her forehead. This is to separate herself from the other girls as the whole fringe look is not as common in the modern day. Billie is also considered as ‘the slow girl’. She’s late when it comes to recognising trends and prefers old school tracks, she carries an IPod Nano to school, a device that was released in September 2005. Like her makeup, she keeps her hairstyle simple. The fringe covers her forehead and parts of her eyebrows and eyes whilst the back is tied into a ponytail. This is to show that she doesn't put too much effort into doing her hair as she doesn’t attempt to ‘woo’ the boys. She will wear a small black ribbon in her hair that she could use later on in the film to aid her friend Trevor after he is endures some damage in the conclusion of the film.

Costume- Billie will not be like the other females in the trailer, she is portrayed as a hard working girl, she doesn’t floss her feminine side as much as the other girls in the movie, as she feels that she doesn’t need to. She is seen to wear a baggy grey woolly jumper, smart female trousers that have been cut and folded to cover just above the ankle; and black canvas shoes.
