The mise-en-scene of our characters was important in constructing their personalities, or at least the side of them that they choose to present to the world, so we used Pinterest to browse outfit ideas and come up with general themes for them with the 'pin' feature to create pin boards.
The image board for Ben's character shows a casual/formal style that is clearly expensive and reflects the money generating nature of the drug business that the gang is affiliated with. However when filming we changed this slightly to reflect that he is no longer a gang member and to fit the urban setting, with more branded and practical looking clothes though there is still a sense of sophistication.
For 'Harriet' we had to strike a balance between what is perceived as masculine and feminine to demonstrate that female characters do not have to be 'tom boys' to be strong but also that she is subversive. Dark, bold colours helped achieve this image.
