To finish the costume off i chose to add my glasses to add an intellectual look to the outfit and also hide young looking eyes. The more of the face covered the less obvious of my age and the more believable the character becomes.

Anatomy of a Costume - Mum
To finish the costume off i chose to add my glasses to add an intellectual look to the outfit and also hide young looking eyes. The more of the face covered the less obvious of my age and the more believable the character becomes.
Anatomy of a Costume - Alfie Smith
Throughout our production, Tea, Coffee and Cancer, it was important that the two protagonists, Alfie and Molly, wore the right specific clothing which would portray them as the young teenagers they play throughout the film. We found that finding the right clothing to reflect their teenage lifestyles was not a major issue for us as Luke and Sadie, who play Alfie and Molly, are roughly around the same age as the characters they play and already owned clothing which was suitable for the characters of Alfie and Molly.
Throughout the whole film, the character of Alfie wears blue denim jeans. This helped to show Alfie's laid back attitude and shows that he doesn't particularly care about his appearance and whether he looks fashionable or not. Although jeans are quite simple, the character of Alfie still manages to look decent but in an effortless way, considering he spends most of his money on drugs and alcohol.
The character of Alfie wears a range of different t-shirts throughout the film, including a casual grey polo shirt, again reflecting his laid back attitude and easy going nature and a grey jumper with a print on the front. He also wears a band shirt, reflecting the fact that he is a big fan of music as many teenagers are. However, in one of the time passing scenes with Molly, Alfie wears a shirt which shows that his relationship with her is having some impact on his life and changing him, as he is trying to dress slightly more smarter when he is with Molly.
Alfie also wears a grey beanie hat in several scenes, again showing that he is a care-free adolescent and also wears a green parka coat in several scenes, portraying him as a young, typical teenager.

Anatomy of a Costume - Molly
Molly Jones' costume's throughout the production of Tea, Coffee and Cancer reflects her young age and her young lifestyle. She wears simple, fashionable outfits that many young girls around the age of 18/19 would wear and therefore she represents the stereotypical teenage girl that many audiences can relate to.
In order to portray to the audience what the characters in our production are like, clothing became a critical part of how we wanted the characters to be seen. In many of the scenes of our production Molly wears neutral colours such as pinks and creams that generate a girly image and show Molly as a fashionable character, who likes to wear pretty clothing. For example the outfits we selected are all simple pieces yet Molly is still seen to be wearing nice clothes that many girls around her age would wear and would appeal to.
In Molly's death scenes we liked the idea of putting Molly in pyjamas as this shows she hasn't got the effort to get dressed or change her clothes due to her chemotherapy treatment not working and her feeling ill. Molly wears cute pyjama bottoms that reflect her young age and show she still is a young girl despite her illness making her deal with problems adults have to go through.

Tea, Coffee and Cancer - Treatment
Title -
Tea, Coffee and Cancer
Duration and Synopses -
Tea, Coffee and Cancer is a 5 minute romantic/tragic drama film, revolving around the two main characters Molly and Alfie. Molly is a young 18 year old girl suffering from cancer when she meets the recovering alcoholic and drug abuser Alfie. As the couple spend more time with each other, they soon fall in love. Due to Molly's illness, many people give her sympathy and feel sorry for her, Alfie however doesn't. This gives Molly a sense of freedom and she is able to be who she wants to be when she is with him. However, one day Molly discovers that her hair is falling out and decides to not see Alfie as much anymore. After Alfie has been good for Molly and stayed away from the alcohol and drugs, her absence leaves a big impact on Alfie and he begins to start drinking and taking drugs again.
Molly soon passes away, leaving Alfie alone. Her sudden disappearance confuses Alfie and he doesn't understand why she has suddenly left him. He then discovers a letter from the hospital in her bag that she left at his house before she passed away and realises that Molly has died. His world suddenly comes crashing down and therefore uses alcohol to suppress the loneliness he feels without Molly. As a result, Alfie chokes on his own vomit and with no-one there to save him, he passes away. Molly and Alfie are now finally together.
Audience -
Our target audience will be people of mixed gender and aged 18-25 as both teenagers and young adults will be able to relate to the characters. Due to the film portraying real life events and situations, we feel that this production can appeal to a range of audiences who may have been involved in similar events such as the effect of cancer and results of alcohol abuse, that we have based our production around.
The certificate of our film (15) relates to our target audience as the content of our film (sexual references, drug and alcohol abuse) are not very appropriate for younger audiences aged under 15 as many of the scenes may be graphic, and too harsh for younger viewers to understand.
