MY BEAST FRIEND

The main problem for choosing to recreate the short film 'My Beast Friend' is the fact that we need to locate a cat costume, the location, a cat, AND SCOTTISH ACCENTS (oh dear). These elements were reasons why we were originally hesitant to choose this opening over 'Get Off My Land', however, I personally didn't like this short film because it isn't a very 'easy watch' and is quite gruesomely predictable. The main reason for not doing 'Get Off My Land' was locating the props, characters and location.

The cat costume for our piece was originally a bit of a predicament, we decided to try and contact the local fancy dress shop, The Dressing Up Box in Attleborough, to see if they had any costumes that were close to what we needed. Alice sent an email and this is the response that we received:
Dear Alice, Sorry no cat like you clip, I do have a grey fur 'donkey' costume which could possibly be customised. When did you need the cat for as I do not have time to do anything to it until after the 21st September as I have a big show to costume.
Sue, The Dressing Up Box

Subject: Rental Cat Costume - A2 media studies project

Dear Sue, I am writing to enquire about the rental of a cat costume. I am currently a student at wymondham high school studying A2 level media studies, and we have been set the task of re-creating a short film, attached is an image of the cat scene we have to recreate. If you have any costume that would be appropriate for us to rent for the re-creation we would be really grateful for a reply and I shall come and see it. Thank you Alice Leng

However, we have chosen to use Jake's black 'morphsuit', my rabbit ears which I have adapted to become cat ears, and George as the character.
