Costume

Costume 1 - John

Actor : Brian

The character of John will be dressed in casual clothes as his character isn't a professional and this creates a less serious persona. The non seriousness of the outfit creates a contrast as the opening will be serious and intense. The casual choice of costume may also help viewers relate more to the man as from my target audience research a lot of people were young and therefore may not relate to a man in a suit.

For a top, this jumper will be worn because it is white and therefore will be a good contrasting colour to the darkness surrounding him. The jumper also helps the costume look casual and it does not reflect a serious business character like a shirt or blazer would.




For trousers, these blue jeans will be worn. These also help create a more casual look to the costume.




















Finally, these large black boots will be worn. These shoes are not what is necessarily seen as smart and therefore reinforces the casual yet put together look which is being created.


















Costume 2 - Hooded man

Actor : Clare

This character's face will not be seen in the opening to create mystery, suspense whilst also raising questions for the audience. Therefore the costume for this character will be all black and hiding their face.

Firstly, these jeans will be worn along with this top as they are both all black. The black colour of clothes will be used as the actor will be sitting in the dark so black will make them difficult to see and therefore more mysterious and threatening.

The actor will also wear this hat and mask as part of their costume as it will cover their face, again adding to the mystery and suspense of who this character is for the audience.

Finally, these gloves will be a part of the costume for two reasons. The first reason for these is that I have casted a woman to play the male role as the character will not be seen by the audience so they won't know any difference, as long as the hands are covered so this doesn't reveal it to be a woman. Secondly, the actor will be holding a gun and therefore wearing gloves would act as a forensic counter measure, which indicates that John is in trouble.
