Character Costumes





The costume of the protagonist (actor Harry Thornburn) will consist of casual 'around the house' clothes as he will appear in bed and then just getting up in the shots. We have chosen a vest and jog bottoms as his clothing as we feel that this would be the most typical nightwear for a male of the characters age. 













The antagonist (actor Dan Harris) will wear smart wear such as a suit. This is to help a contrast be displayed between smart clothing usually seen worn by upper class people, and the unpleasant character who is kidnapping and killing women.  We thought a suit would be best as it is the smartest wear of a man emphasising the contrast we would like to show.












The girlfriend of the protagonist (actor Bethany Ryman) will wear a blood stained shirt in a shot of her in a mirror in the bathroom. The reason behind this to draw all attention too her with the contrasting red on white as the shot will only be displayed for a couple of seconds and it is vital the audience see it as it will be a tension building part of our thriller. This outfit will also help us suggest to the audience that she is not there in reality and this shot is showing the visions of the protagonist (actor Harry Thornburn), this is because the contrasting shirt, quick shot changes to show she isn't stood there in another shot is all too exaggerated for reality. 


However when another shot in a flashback is shown of this character, she will be in more casual clothing 'everyday wear'. This is in the shot when it shows her tied up in a warehouse setting to suggest to the audience that she was kidnapped from a homely setting without warning. This will help build tension as it will suggest to the audience that they are not safe in a homely setting however it will also signify a change in time since the other shot including her in the bathroom.
