Character shots - old man

These are character shots of our old man character. We had to change the actor due to accessibility reasons, however after doing some filming with him we feel he suites the part well.


We looked into costume and experimented with different hats and glasses. These two photos show our selected hats, the bottom image is a woolly hat however we decided  not to choose this option as it had a football emblem on it and we do not to associate our film with football. We finally chose the flat cap as the actor is not quite as old as we had hoped and the flat cap appears to make him look older. 


 We also decided against the glasses because it symbolises intelligence and a better upbringing which does not fit the old man role as he is meant to be working class and educated through experience instead of learning through an establishment. Finally we wanted him to wear a dull coloured coat to emphasise the idea of a negative life.
