With my project we aimed to include the social group of, working class hooligans. They were supposed to look scruffy (wearing unpopular brands, football scarves etc.) We had to make sure that the actors had a look of authentication as if they really were football hooligans, and that they genuinely were going to have an all out brawl with a rival team.
I think the costumes that were used in the clip, although unplanned, were perfect for the clip itself. As they brought a sense of hooliganism to the clip, which is what we were going for. We wanted the clip to seem as authentic as possible, this meant getting the atmosphere spot on and making sure that the actors, were acting tough and ruthless, just like real hooligans at football matches.
I think that the addition of the football scarves really showed that we were trying to make it seem as real as possible, because it showed that the two football fans were really into their football as they were wearing their home teams scarves. The outfit that the main character was wearing (played by myself) was just a casual outfit, and it showed that he didn't really care what he looked like, as he was only going to a football game, no big deal.
We used a tracking shot when the main character walked down the hallway in his house, the camera was placed in front of his face, and followed him all the way to the door. This showed the characters emotions quite clearly, and apart from the obvious bit of smirking, the emotion depicted was a mix between anger and serious. It showed that the character was pumped to go to the match, and he wasn't letting anything bring him down, it also puts him in a position in which he seems powerful, looking tough right into the camera lens is quite intimidating, which shows the audience that he could be a threat during the movie.
As for the other characters, they hardly got much camera time, in fact for the most part they were sat watching a football game, showing that they were getting themselves psyched up for the game ahead. They were sat cheering and chanting for their team on TV, waiting for the lead up to the real game that they were about to go and watch.
The video itself contained a lot of non diegetic sound, such as the music that we put in, it would have also had the narrative, it would have worked. There was no diegetic sound, no talking, no on scene music etc.
