Costume and Props Planning

For our costume and props planning we wanted to create a contrast between our 2 actors. I will discuss what we decided on for each character:

Abdul:
Abdul is portrayed as the unhealthy diabetic and one way in which we wanted to show this was through his costume. So for his costume we made him dress up in baggy clothes to show he doesn't really care about his look, he just goes for the first piece of clothing he finds. We did this to try and reflect his attitude towards diabetes and show that he doesn't really care for his health and body.




Jeppe:
For Jeppe we wanted to portray him as the opposite of Abdul, a healthy diabetic who cares about his body and way of life. So we did this through dressing him up kind of smart with a polo top in some scenes to show he cares about his looks, also reflecting his attitude towards diabetes and we also have him in a Real Madrid top towards the end to show that he is a sporty character to show the audience that he does exercise and stays fit and healthy.




Props:
we didn't use many props in our short film because we wanted to focus on the actors but the main prop that we used was the insulin pen that is needed by all diabetics. We were able to get a hold of these through Jeppe who is a diabetic himself so we had a sufficient supply of the pens. We also including a few other diabetic apparatus to make our film seem more realistic, for example the device that test for your blood sugar.
