After lengthy discussions, we have come to some final conclusions about or film settings and therefore, costumes. We have decided that Anthony is sixteen years old in present day 2012, meaning that he was born in 1996. This would mean that Samantha was raped in late 1995/early 1996. We have also decided that Samantha was eighteen when she was raped by her step father, Ray. This would work out that she were born in late 1978/early 1979, meaning that in present day 2012, Samantha is about 34 years old.
We have also decided that, unlike in our rough cut, we would like our film to start with Samantha getting up and out of bed, ready to face the day that lies ahead of her, this means that there have had to be some changes to costumes. Below I have made a list of the costumes worn by the characters in our film and have also included some images as a guide.

| In order to make Samantha look older we are going to put a pair of glasses on her. As we are using the same actress, this will hopefully help to differentiate between the two ages in the present day scene and the flashback scene set in 1996. Samantha will also be wearing a dressing gown and pyjama's underneath as she has just gotten out of bed in the morning. |
 |
| Anthony will be wearing a '16' badge as part of his costume, this will help to establish his age and will also allow the audience to recognise that this is a special occasion. He will also be wearing his original costume of a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. |
 |
| Ray will also be wearing his original costume of a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a denim jacket. We kept this the same as when we researched the 1990's to gather information on our new flashback time period, we found that the '90's screamed denim! |
 |
| Again, when researching the '90's we checked Samantha's costume against what may have been found in the 1990's. We found that her original costume of a pair of jeans and a girly top could stay the same, which workes well for us as we do not have to re-film any of the flashback scene, only film extra parts for it. We decided that the original hair style which we used worked for the '90's aswell as it looked not too dissimilar to that of Jennifer Aniston in 'Friends' which was referred to throughout the '90's by her characters name and was known as 'The Rachel'. |
The list of costumes needed will help us when filming as the person in charge of checking costume will not find it so difficult if they know what costume should be worn by who and when. Also, by keeping costume to a minimum and using fairly easily accessible items of clothing, we have tried to make it as easy as possible for the actors/actresses involved in helping us to make our film.
