Costume Planning

The main protagonist will be sporting a yellow Nike football kit in the opening sequence as this would show significance since Bradley Keano starts from the bottom of the ranks at school and attempts to embark on a journey that would get him into football superstardom in Arsenal so this football kit would show his early days as a footballer who works hard to get noticed by football scouts etc. and this would show more significance since, in the football scene (in the opening sequence), Nile (Bradley) dribbles and manipulates his way past the football cones before taking a decisive blast which expresses how hard he's working.



We're also going to include casual clothing such as the black bomber jacket and casual jeans as it would show significance to the main protagonist's "gangster" character and also contrast his other personalities/lifestyles as his other lifestyles distinguish from the gang lifestyle and it would also draw the audience's attention even more as the casual clothing would connote to a dark and moody atmosphere whereas the football clothing above connotes to a vibrant and lively atmosphere as the main protagonist would also benefit more from being a big-name football star than a small-time hooligan/hoodlum.

There will also be school smartwear being used in the opening sequence/movie of "Split" as this also represents the main protagonist's lifestyle being as an academic student who is revising for the biggest exams of his entire life as it would determine whether he is to go to University or spend his days in College (sort of a journey in which he has one chance to ascend to the top or descend to the bottom; especially when the 'gang life' is slowly pulling him back in, it would place him under more pressure revising for his exams and also have an impact on his storyline and path throughout the movie).

Furthermore, this would also attract the audience even more because of the fact that the audience knows he would benefit more from passing his school exams and going to University than following the gangster lifestyle and it would also add that unexpected feel to it as the audience would also not be fully sure of which lifestyle Bradley Keano will end up pursuing but will feel more sympathetic for the character and want him not to follow the worst one (being the gang life).
