They both share the same hairstyle of having their hair in a ponytail. We decided to include this hairstyle for our character, as she is a girl. This hairstyle portrays them as innocent, naïve and still in their childhood. Also we are going to add red bows to portray her as a character that has very feminine traits.

They are both wearing very comfortable clothes e.g. a hoodie and casual top. It shows they don’t care about their appearance yet and prefer clothes that will be comfy. Also, both characters are wearing light colours e.g. purple, pink and grey. Little girls commonly wear these colours. Therefore we have decided for our character (girl) to wear a bright blouse and a skirt. It will show her to be girly.

Moreover, they both their ethnic identity is white but we want to subvert this as we want to use Asian/Bengali. This is because Asian people are also a huge audience of this genre so we felt it will be appropriate to include them in our opening scene.

Both these characters are wearing a shirt. The shirt shows them as being mature and more masculine. The colour of their shirt is blue, which represents them as being boyish. We decided that our character (little boy) is going to wear a shirt.

What our girl character is going to wear

We have chosen a blouse and skirt because it will portray her as girly and innocent. We also felt that by adding converses it will reinforce her as fashionable and stylish. It also seems appropriate for a child to wear converses or trainers outside while they are playing as they are children and need comfortable shoes.
