Laura Bayne as Elizabeth:
We wanted the costume of Elizabeth to be as plain as possible. A black jumper, white shirt and jeans gives a cross a 'nerd' stereotype. The costume clearly relays this and helps the audience to understand the role of her character. This is also seen in the use of her glasses as a prop. The costume shows she is dull and boring, the costume would not make her stand out in a crowd.
Clarissa Bowers as Jessie:
The costume of Jessie needed to be girl, but neutral at the same time. Because she is a very mysterious character we didn't want to give too much away about her just from the trailer. The plain coloured hoodie, jeans and boots shows that she is stereotypical teenage. The way she is dressed signifies that Jessie is laid back about life.
Thomas Bell as Ryan:
The costume of Ryan also connotes to the audience that he is very laid back. The checked shirt, jeans and trainers signify that he is a stereotypical teenage who doesn't put much thought into an outfit. We wanted to show him as sporty (through the skater trainers) but be in an outfit that would blend in behind the main character of Zac.
David Mills as Zac:
Zacs costume signifies that he is a very stereotypical male teenager. The hoodie, jeans and trainers indicate that he is sporty and has a relaxed view on life. We needed the costume to put across the personality of Zac, one that takes each day as it comes, he is very casual and doesn't get stressed out by much.
Eleanor Todd as Sarah:
The costume of Sarah is very plain and simple, one that you would expect from a teenager. This is something that the audience could relate to. The plain white cardigan combined with the orange shirt and shoes show that she is trying to fit in, but the consistent use of orange portrays her bright and happy personality.
Thomas Field as Billy:
The costume is Billy is very neutral and doesn't give much away. As Billy is the mystery character at the end of the trailer we didn't want to portray much of his personality in the trailer. The coat, white jumper and brown trousers keep his character very neutral and plain, therefore he keeps the theme of mystery as the audience can't make a connection with him. It is not clear which stereotype he belongs to, unlike the other characters.
