As we develop the characters more and more, we have begun to construct images of how the characters dress and behave, their morals and thoughts. As we begin, we looked back at how our lead character was inspired, and based his looks off of that. We did imagine an African American teen who dresses in a skater type fashion but does not behave in the typical rebellious teen way. Instead he is a shy, good mannered kid who only wants to do good by his family and achieve his goals. As for his best friend (and troublemaker), we too opted for the skater look, but through his reckless demeanor and dialogue, the audience can infer that he will be the cause to their demise. We also believed that his parents should show the hard working aspect of the lower middle class family, so they are not too flashy, but are instead good loving parents who show determination and hard work. We also felt as if the beginning of the intro should have a light hearted mood similar to FX's "Atlanta." This was then going to shock the audience more as they are then presented with an injustice at the hands of a police officer. A posting will be done later on to demonstrate how the costume choices were finalized and the outcome.
