Costume

Costume

Since the main character in our film is male we mainly focused on researching male characters from other horror/slasher films to evaluate.

This is a character from one of the final destination films.
He has a simple casual costume which can be seen as a stark contrast from the devastating events which would soon unfold. It gives the impression this character is laidback and not very formal. The clothes also give the impression that he is going about his daily business but then becames a victim since it is a crucial facot in horror movies that it could be anyone, maybe even yourself?




This is a picture of a character from one of the SAW films. His apron gives the impression he is the average working class male, which could increase the sympathy from the audience when he is a victim because he appears to be a normal guy . His plain white tshirt is quite effective since its does not distract from the action however a more patterned shirt could.

This a picture of two characters from final destination, the male is wearing a checkered shirt and jeans. Jeans are seen as casual wear and so are checkered shirts but the fact that his is tucked in gives a smarter look and that he put thought into what he was wearing ,however jeans and checkered shirts are items own and worn by a large amount of males which further subconsiously evokes the idea that this could happen to anyone. My group has decided in our film it would be preferable for our main character to wear plain clothing that is quite casual to keep te audience focused on the action as well as the fact that this a normal person. The female here appears to be wearing jeans or dark fited trousers , with  a floral like sheer shirt and is also not very casual and she also seems to have put thought into her outfit and paid attention to detail. both of their costumes create the idea that the seem to be going somewhere and was not fully expecting any disaster.

This is a picture of a character from one of the SAW films. He is wearing a blood covered plain smart shirt, with rolled up sleeves and creases. this shirt could suggest this character works as a proffesional of some sort. This further inforces the point about bad things happenig to anyone at any time.
