Further Costume Research

Costume and make up is a large element of mise-en-scene. We as a group have decided to typically recreate the image of a villain and victim by using costume to show this. We hope to create the look of a villain by the boys wearing black suits with white shirts. This gives the sense of authority and makes the audience want to know what authority they actually have. This is shown in many thriller clips to give the sense of authority and status. Contrasting to this we have decided to have the villain as a female wearing smart work dress and heels. This gives the idea of vunerability towards the female and the fact that she is wearing heels we can use as she is running and she kicks them off and leaves them on the floor. If we were to develop this film further this could be used for evidence of her dissappearence and be a key theme throughout the film.
