Character clothing/costumes

Clothing can tell all about you, it is a way to express your style and your sense of fashion. Alot of people judge one another by the way they dress. This is simailar to the way an audience judges a certain character(s) in a movie deciding upon what they are dressed like. A certain character can reveal what their personality is like simply by the way they dress for example, they can reveal their identity and this also allows them to express themselves and mood with out saying anything such as, their intrests, their style of fashion and also the character they are playing, whether they are a villain or a victim or simply a psycho.The way a character looks on the exterior largely impacts the audiences view on the characters interior. Costumes are very important because you subconsciously choose the look that reflects and completes a certain charatcers personality. Because our sequence is a horror psychological thriller the costumes that our characters will be wearing are goin to be dark colours..
Certain colours represent certain tones and personalities, dark grey colours would typicaly represent:

  • Shadowy
  • Gloomy
  • Mysterious
  • Evil
  • Murder









One of the characters in our sequence will have all these kind of representaions because of the clothing that it will be wearing.This shows that it will be a villain and not a victim. Our objective is to make the audience feel frightened and mysterious and wonder what may happen next.

Different colours represent different things and they give out different kinds of meanings. Colours such as: pink, yellow, blue, green, white etc. These type of colours represent:

  • Femininity
  • Love
  • Appreciation
  • Happiness
  • Health
  • Gratitude
  • Purtiy
  • Innocence
  • Gratitude
  • Friendship (etc)








Costumes and clothing are very important, they make up the whole movie and show a whole new complete identity of a character.
