Costume Planning

Costume for our the opening thriller sequence

We would like the antagonist to wear something
 similar to this, but slightly more casual.

The antagonist



The victim will wear
 something similar to this outfit

As a group, we have decided to dress our character (played by Evan) in smart, black attire to reflect his dark thoughts and mood. This could be a smart shirt and jeans. He will be immaculately dressed to depict the character's OCD traits which will present his behaviour as deviating from the norm. Dressing an antagonist in dark costume is a typical convention of a thriller because it doesn't really tell the audience anything about the character or their personality, and also presents them as being mysterious and sinister. The character will also be wearing a watch, which will act as a prop, but also convey part of his personality and how the theme of time is a focal point in the narrative.
 

The victim

Again, my group and I have decided to dress the victim in normal clothes, such as jeans and a top/jumper. This character will be played by myself. This will convey to the audience the innocence of this character, and how she doesn't expect to be in this situation. The victims costume will strongly contrast the formality of the antagonists costume showing how he is prepared for the situation, expecting the victim to arrive at his house.
