changes to characters identity and costume - Alex

due to the new introduction of drugs as a theme in our film, we decided that the "average Joe" look about Alex didn't really suit the drug use involved, as the average Joe is rarely represented as been a drug taker.

we did however feel like we had no need to change the characters personality and general self , as he wasn't like an extrovert exciting character , and he could be classed into any type of social group , due do his , somewhat dull and easy going aura, which made the film relatable to any kind of  audience

we felt the best way to change the feel and representation of this character was through his costume , as we decided to add a brown leather jacket to give a shady , maybe even a kind of hard , powerful feel to him, and a denim shirt. the costume changes can also be linked to a kind of "rock and roll" lifestyle, which is heavily linked to drugs
