Costumes: 

Costumes The dress code of this interview indicates power and status . Just by looking at him in his surroundings we know about his job. His facial expressions shows that he is very much interested to look back at the growth of gaming within younger people. His body language is quite forma l and focused . The dress code of this interview is very casual and relaxed. The younger boys body language indicates excitement and energy . The mothers body language is dominating as she seems to be over looking what they say and do. Her facial expressions shows that she is confused whether she feels gaming is bad yet sometimes good. In this costume I added the use of an additional prop of the lanyard that has ‘staff’ written on it. I did this so the audience know that she is part of a institute e.g. school. The dress code here is causal yet smart . Her facial expressions shows that she knows what she is talking about. Her body language indicates that this topic is very close to her as she leans in to talk .
