Costume

For my film I will need only two costumes, for each of the characters in the film. I will be going to the art department in my school to ask them to try and help create these costumes. Also my production partner, Conor, is an A2 art student so will also be able to help in dressing the actors to create the correct look. It is very important that each of my characters are dressed in a way that signifies to the audience a bit more information about the character, this is because I am creating a short film and dialogue is not being used, so the look of the character is crucial to introducing each character. 


Character 1; Central Protagonist: This character should be wearing vcry dull clothing, that are quite scruffy, his clothing should not give away too much about the character as the short film is all about the mysteriousness of the male. The male should probably wear a black top and blue jeans, wearing walking boots. This way there is not too much given away about the male as these are very average fashion style.

Character 2; Victim Girl: The girl should look like a typical sexually active blonde women, because as my research has shown me, it is this type of character that an audience would expect to be seen killed. I would like the women to be wearing a nice red dress, to signify blood and death, as she is about to be killed by the male. She should also be wearing high heels as these have a sexual appeal. 

The girl will also need to be wearing make up that is smudged, to signify she has been crying and maybe dragged around by the male. This will mean having mascara running down her face.

Important Update! 
Me and Conor have now found our costume for the male, but as well as struggling to find a female actress we need someone who has a red dress we could borrow. Any followers of our Blog know someone who would have a red dress we could borrow, or have one themselves please leave a comment, and I will get back to you on it. 


Final Update!
Me and Conor have just bought some overalls from a local hardware shop that we are going to get the central protagonist to put on during the house scenes, we also bought a mask to put over the characters face. This will make the transformation from the innocent to the serial killer much more realistic and anchor the preferred reading much better.


However the actress we used was unable to organise a red dress due to a late change in film productions dates, this has potentially ruined the look of the victim, but I think it still works well without the red dress, if me and Conor decide to re-submit however this will be altered.
