Costume Evaluation

 Image One

as mentioned in my research, i have featured ripped jeans as a piece of costuming as a representation of fashion within the genre. Another representation of the fashion within the genre is the feature of a flannel shirt or in this case hooded shirt which has been left open showing a plain black t-shirt. With the reoccurring feature of the colour black is a typical representation within the pop-punk genre, and the colour red also carries negative connotations of emotions such as anger and aggression. If i were to retake this photo again, i would consider having the second female character (left) wearing all black, similar to the male character, to show the female lead (centre) as the only character wearing a feature of colour as a clear signifier of the importance of the character.

With the costume consisting of all black and is dark and negative connotations, it connects into the stereotypes of costuming in the genre. The pale complexion of the character also emphasises the darkness and the different shades of the costume. If I were to retake this image and alter the costuming I would take into consideration the feature of jewelry such as necklaces and bracelets to add more to the costuming with the possibility of addition of some colour into he all black costuming.
