Costume Planning Analysis (Vans)


Vans are growing rapidly in the sneakers fashion trend and we wanted to ensure that our "Split" movie is consistent as well as it is current since if we included elements that felt dated and not modern-day elements, it also wouldn't really help with the fresh and innovative style we are trying to bring to our film and opening sequence. Furthermore, we picked grey Vans to be the type of footwear that Nile O'Meally-Newell (Bradley Keano) is going to wear in the film and opening sequence as it also connotes to the dark and monotonous atmosphere of the gang lifestyle in comparison to the bright and colourful lifestyle of Bradley Keano being a football star in the making.

Simplicity also links with the movie itself since we picked a simple football kit for the opening sequence, simple smartwear (typical white shirt and black tie; the white shirt being the dress code for several schools anyway) and simple casual clothing to represent the fact that the audience shouldn't be worried about if the film would suffer from complexity despite the fact we are trying to flesh out three "characters" fully, balancing out each of the three personalities so we are faced with the risk of leaving plot holes or continuity errors yet we have managed to counter this in our opening sequence since we know that the gang scenes had a slow and intense pace while the football scenes had a fast-moving pace to it so we are glad with the costumes we had come up with to fit in with everything else.
