scene 1 costume in this scene everyone is in Halloween costumes, even E.T this is comical as everyone is dressed in supernatural costumes but there is actually an alien there creating a sense of mystery. The audience know an alien there but the characters and citizens are unaware. Michael is dressed up in a soldier with a sward through his head, Eliot is dressed up the hunch back of Notre dame and lastly E.T is dressed up as a ghost, this allows him to not be seen as act as if he is the youngest sibling, Gertie. this allows them to sneak E.T to the wood without anyone knowing.

Scene 1 “singin in the rain” Costume/ props  There are 2 main people in this scene, Cathy and don, Cathy is wearing a coat and a hat, the coat is gold and the hat is purple, these colours are glamorous and have connotation with Hollywood fashion, one that is high maintenance and idolised, perhaps her costume shows us hoe Don perceives her a a beautiful glamorous woman. Don is wearing a suit which is in black, a hat, everything he is wearing is monotone and bland compared to Cathy’s colourful outfit, this could be showing the corruption of Hollywood and how it has effected don, whereas Cathy who doesn’t like the holly wood life she is bright and colourful this is a massive juxtaposition between these characters costumes.

This moustache is a key feature of Charlie and this allows people to point him out as not many people or characters look like him, also perhaps making him seem more unusual and weird to the audience straight away allowing them to think he is a comedic character. It also suggest that he is an old fashioned person. He is wearing an old torn suit, a smart hat, he has a walking stick and a bag with as it seems all of his possessions inside it, from this the audience can gather that he is trying to be a smart well put together person but as its torn and old looking the it could suggest that he has a lack of funds. He also has a bag wit
