Costume planning

For the short film there is no real fixed costume for the skater Kamel Zara. Because skating is a sport much like football and the younger generation tent to find father figures and people they look up to. This consists of wanting to dress like them so pro skaters come out with pro model skateboards, shoes and clothes. Skateboarding has stayed true as a sport but has largely become commercialised via large competitions and clothing brands that back extreme sports like DC shoes and Quicksilver. These are extreme sport companies that also have their foot in the skateboarding field but also work within other action sports such as surfing and snowboarding. Other companies like Thrasher and Grizzly are predominantly skateboarding but also have clothing thats based on the skateboarding fashion. Thrasher for example also has a magazine that they release monthly and features pro or up coming skaters and also sell their goods or others that pay for advertising.

To conclude Kamel Zara is a skater and has been the majority of his life and there fore dresses like a skateboarder, even though he doesn't feel like he does because he's become accustom to that life style. So as long as he comes dressed as he normally would then thats the costume plan.
