For
my
first
costume
idea
I
wanted
something
simple
for
the
3
boys.
Although,
they
are
supposed
to
be
a
little
poor
and
neglected
in
the
play.
So
I
wanted
jeans
for
them,
which
seemed
appropriate
but
I
thoughts
that
ripped
jeans
would
give
them
a
more
“neglected”
look.
If
they
had
perfect
and
neat
jeans
it
wouldn’t
look
as
realistic
if
they
had
more
battered
up
jeans.
I
also
didn’t
want
them
to
use
anything
other
then
jeans
because
1,
they
are
easy
to
find
in
“ripped
form”.
2
because
ripped
khakis
or
sweat
pants
are
not
very
attractive
and
it
would

which
no
one
wants
to
do.
So
jeans
it
is.
This
is
the
type
of
dress
I’d
like
to
use
of
Annie.
It’s
a
fun
and
cute
summer
dress,
which
is
both
attractive
and
something
that
a
person
could
be
wearing
on
a
daily
basis.
I
like
this
one
because
of
the
flowers
and
the
detail
and
it
is
also
something
that
s
reliable
for
a
girl
to
have.
Somewhere
(hopefully)
she
should
have
a
little
summer
dress.
This
will
probably
be
her
outfit
the
whole
time.

pretty-­‐straw-­‐hat-­‐with-­‐flower-­‐on-­‐white-­‐background.html
This
is
an
example
of
a
cute
straw
hat
that
would
go
well
with
the
summer
dress
for
Annie.
The
hat
adds
more
to
the
character
because
then
costume
is
a
lot
more
detailed.
With
the
hat
on
it
shows
that
she’s
a
bit
formal
and
she
likes
to
dress
up.
This
simple
hat
can
build
a
lot
of
character.
And
the
more
thought
put
into
the
costume,
the
more
the
audience
appreciates
it,
therefore
it
helps
a
lot
to
have
a
good
costume.
It
also
gives
the
actor,
Annie,
more
character
to
go
off
of
therefore
helping
her
act.

This
dirty
shirt
is
ideal
for
the
3
boys
in
my
play
because
they
don’t
get
their
closed
washed
or
have
an
ideal
upbringing.
A
dirty
or
unwashed
shirt
will
show
that
they
are
kind
of
neglected.
This
tells
the
audience
what
kind
of
setting
they
live
in
which
gives
them
a
better
idea
of
the
situation
as
well.
We
don’t
necessarily
have
to
use
a
white
shirt.
They
can
all
have
different
colors
for
their
dirty
shirts.

This
shoe
is
an
example
of
the
style
of
shoe
that
I
think
will
go
really
well
with
Annie’s
costume.
They
are
cute
and
girlie
and
would
complete
the
outfit
that
I
have
planned
for
her.
These
aren’t
the
exact
ones
I
wanted
but
they
look
very
similar
to
the
school-­‐girl
style
that
would
look
well
on
her.
Figure

I
thought
than
another
very
good
choice
for
Annie’s
costume
could
be
a
Chinese
qipao.
Considering
the
fact
that
she
is
Chinese
and
we
are
in
China,
I
thought
that
would
be
a
good
idea.
It’s
girly
and
very
elegant,
and
it
would
suit
a
responsible
character
like
Annie’s
character
very
nicely.

4. Props
–
Figure

http://tinysparklythings.blogspot.com/2009/11/diy-­‐how-­‐to-­‐
recover-­‐old-­‐umbrella.html
This
umbrella
is
a
good
prop
for
Annie.
One
reason
is,
this
prop
adds
more
personality
to
her
character
because
she’d
be
carrying
around
an
accessory.
It
could
be
used
in
many
occasions
like
to
pretend
it’s
raining
or
it
could
give
her
something
to
do
while
in
a
scene.
She
could
be
touching
it
or
playing
with
it,
which
ensures
that
she
has
something
to
do
to
just
in
case
she
“wanders.”

This
blanket
could
be
used
for
Kazuki.
Because
he
is
always
sleeping
or
at
least
trying
to,
it
would
be
fit
for
him
to
carry
around
a
blanket.
This
prop
could
be
a
comedic
and
informative
piece
because
if
he
were
to
lie
down
in
random
places
and
sleep
with
it,
it’d
be
funny.
Also,
it
gives
people
an
idea
that
he
is
related
to
sleep.

information/Types-­‐of-­‐information/Books.html
This
book
could
be
used
for
Hanson.
He
could
be
pretending
to
struggle
reading
it
or
hold
it
upside
down.
This
shows
the
audience
that
he
doesn’t
have
an
education
and
that
he
wants
to
learn.
It
also
gives
him
something
to
do
as
well
if
he
is
just
standing
like
a
rock
on
stage.
Figure

This
pan
could
be
used
for
junior
to
eat
out
of
in
the
final
scene.
It
serves
as
a
plate,
so
he
can
eat
out
of
it
but
it
is
also
shows
that
he
is
still
not
living
the
way
that
people
normally
live
by
eating
out
of
a
pan.
It
could
be
comedic
and
ironic.

This
last
prop
is
a
basket.
This
basket
could
be
used
by
one
of
the
characters,
maybe
Annie
to
not
only
look
cute
and
add
character,
but
it
could
hold
some
of
the
props
not
needed
at
the
moment
so
she
can
pull
them
out
faster
later.
This
will
help
a
lot
when
changing
a
scene
very
quickly
and
needing
to
change
props.
