Costume Planning

Plan was made by Eman

After discussing with the group, here is a more detailed plan about our costumes. The basic plan/mood board can be found here. 

The costumes we decided upon suited the stereotypes of some of the characters as it would be simple, less expensive, and would easily present the characters the way we want them to be presented. 

Following are the examples of how I personally envision the clothes for each characters to look like.

The mother would be dressed in tattered clothing, showing her lack of concern towards her overall appearance. Her clothes would be comfy to wear with holes ripped in random places to show off their poorness. The pictures above are how I imagine her clothes; soft home wear along with a cardigan on top to complete the look.

The coach would appear during the boxing match (and shortly during the training scene) where he will be dressed in a formal attire; a white polo button up with black trousers and leather shoes. 

During the training scene with the main protagonist he would be wearing the stereotypical normal gym clothes, and would be equipped with normal boxing training gear. 

The men that would bring the news of the protagonist's father's death would be dressed in full military suits, following the stereotypes normally shown in media when the news of a dead soldier is brought back home to their family.

 

The clothes worn by the protagonist's younger self would not only be old, but mismatched as well to show her mother's lack of attention towards what her own daughter does. The mismatching clothes would also help to represent the younger one's innocence as she would not know how to properly dress herself, which would show the neglect.

The colour red is symbolic in the film. It will be the colour of the bow the younger one wears during her scenes, and it will be the colour of the boxing gloves the older one will use during her fights. The bow is something gifted to the younger one before he leaves for his soldier duties, which is why the colour itself is treasured so much, as along with that fact it also symbolises the anger felt by the protagonist along with all the hard work that led her up to becoming a boxer.

The scenes in which the protagonist is about to go for her fight, I imagine her wearing what the model on the right wears, as it is another stereotype shown in boxing movies. During the match however, I imagine her dressed in the clothes on the left. Although female boxers wear something differently Eman, who is playing as the main protagonist, would not be able to wear something like that as it is inappropriate in our culture. Due to that, fully covering clothes will be worn by her in the fighting scenes.
