- Dan & Kirk

| Original costume idea |
These are the costumes we put together for our stereotypical 'chav' characters, Dan and Kirk. We wanted them both to be wearing hoodies as this is conventional of the character type and connotes youth. In the present era, hoodies are symbolic of unrest, violence and fear within society which connotes to the audience these characters' tendencies and unsettled personalities.

Our costume for Dom changed slightly from his original costume. Originally, we were going to show Dom working in our trailer, hence the stained hoodie. However before filming, we decided we felt it more appropriate to show him socialising, as a way of cleverly incorporating the outside of his Dad, Marris', pub into our trailer. Instead of being in his work clothing he is in a casual jumper to have drinks with a friend connoting he is at ease and hasn't yet heard about, or isn't worried about, his father's situation.

We kept Marris' costume the same, but added a jacket as it made more sense when filming outside for him to be wearing something warmer to ensure we remained verisimilitude to everyday life; as people wouldn't go outside without a coat or warmer clothing during winter.
- Beryl Clark

| Original costume idea |
Beryl's costume we changed slightly as we felt having her in a nightie would make her seem less respectable. As she's supposed to be wise and bearing knowledge we felt her costume needed to be less humiliating and demeaning. We kept the pink colour scheme but had her wearing a t-shirt and cosy jumper instead. The glasses have connotations of wisdom; often being worn by 'nerd' character types in media texts.
