Thriller Costumes

We only need costumes for two character, the girl on the train and the male stalker.
Girl's costume, is going to be casual, with a hoodie, skinny jeans and trainers. something comfortable, that will show she is travelling, or has got dressed quickly.

Female Costume:




The clothes used have to represent teenagers of today.

This outfit would appeal to our audience, as it is something teenagers would wear, and although mainstream, the costumes used are not expesive, thus fitting with our independant film genre.



In the clip the girl is wearing a pink top, this works well as the colour plays on her feminity, and makes her seem innocent, and perhaps younger than her actual age, thus making the audience automatically sympathetic to her, and her situation. However the T-shirts slogan "Death pays all debts" Suggests she is not as she seems, and has darker undernotes.



Male Costume:
The stalkers costume needs to be mysterious. This is why we used Black as a key colour for his costume.


Although our film is not Film noir, the black trench coat is a classicaly film noir, thus making our film link in with another sub-genre of thriller. It is also mysterious and can sometimes be quite intemidating, and fits in well with the males character, and suggests he is a sterotypical stalker.

  1. Discuss these further, Sarah. What kind of character are you creating here, how will the costume appeal to the audience, and how does the costume create connotations?
