Costume research

Juno:

The costume in Juno, similarly to Eagle Vs Shark, is used to create a feeling that the character of Juno is your typical laid-back, teenage tomboy who doesn't really care about appearance, it also enhances the idea that Juno is quite an alternative and quirky character. The character of Paulie (Juno's boyfriend) is a lot more feminine than Juno, this creates humour and binary opposition between the two as well as straying from the ideologies society usually sees as a norm when it comes to the male being masculine and the female feminine. Paulie is dressed throughout the film, mostly, in his track kit which consists of colour coded yellow shorts, headband, wristbands and socks all topped off with a red top. This shows off Paulie's femininity and almost weakness within his character. He also looks quite 'silly' which adds to the audiences view of him as a comedic character within the film.
