12. Albert McDonald:
Costume 2: Jester
As spoken about in the Preproduction Lyrics blog
post. The character Albert will be wearing a jester
costume for parts of the dance routine to symbolize
the lyric ‘fool’.
I have decided to stick to a typical medieval jester
costume for my character.

13. Albert McDonald:
Costume 3: Geek (Dream world)
For the costume of Albert in the dream world
I wanted a costume which portrayed him
as less of a geek, for example the typical
look that most teenage boys dream to be like.
This is because of the concept that in your dreams
you can be anything you want.
For the research of this costume I looked at how
male celebrities are dressed in magazines and in the
media as many teenage boys look up to them as idols.

14. Albert McDonald:
Costume 3: Geek (Dream world)
Examples of Idols include:
-
Zac Efron
Logan Lerman
Josh Hutcherson
Taylor Lautner
The reason teenage boys aspire to look like these
celebrities is because this is the ‘type’ of boy that
the media tell them is what the ‘perfect girl’ wants for
a boyfriend.
