Costume Ideas and Research

As we have decided to focus our opening sequence around a Crime Thriller, there are key aspects that need to be thought through thoroughly before the production process. Costumes and clothing for our Protagonist is highly important as we still need to stick to the Thriller genre, but not make it too cliche. We want to make our opening sequence a little more unique and I think that it would be a good idea to present this through clothing and costumes. Our Protagonist is Stephanie Jones. Furthermore, Steph meets the criteria that we are looking for because we need someone petite and almost innocent looking. As a group we debated about what Steph should be wearing in the opening sequence, she is playing a young, vulnerable teenage student and there are lots of costume ideas that spring to mind. I didn't want Steph to be obviously portrayed as a vulnerable student through her clothing too much as that is edging towards being too cliche. I suggested that Steph should wear more darker colours almost to juxtapose with her vulnerable role in our sequence. Moreover, because Steph has dark brown hair, we can test out using low key lighting to put emphasis on the darkness around Steph's face.
