Research into Costumes

When creating a Thriller film, there are many different ways in which a director uses costume. The only costumes that will be needed are for the girl who is receiving the messages and phone calls as she is the only one visible to the camera. The protagonist will be around 15 years old so we will have to dress her based around her age and size. For example, we wouldn’t dress a girl of that age in a mature suit as it wouldn't fit in. Clothes, Hair and Make-up are the necessary focus for costume.

In our group; Lucie, Talia and I decided that we wanted to give the actress an 'innocent' feel and make her appear vulnerable so that the audience would have a sense of how the movie was going to play out, without revealing too much.

We didn't want to make our character look un-realistically older than she is, but at the same time didn't want to dress her down too much. We eventually decided on the 'Teenage' look and will aim to make her look two years older than she actually is to put our costume skills to the test. 

Eventually, we decide our character would wear a hoodie and leggings with slippers to portray a casual and vulnerable look, looking casual and comfortable in her own home making it realistic. Minimal make-up will be used to prevent the character trying to look too mature for her actual age. Her hair would simply be down and relaxed to exhibit an innocent and easy target appearance.
