Initial planning - costumes

When we were researching our genres (thriller and horror) we found that the protagonists and/or victims wear normal clothes that represent reality, as well as signifying how unsuspecting they are that nothing is going to happen. For example jeans and a coat. We are going to follow this convention because it is stereotypical of teenage girls, which is the image we are trying to portray. For the victim, we have chosen these clothes for her to wear as they signify normality and are stereotypical of the character.

The protagonist will have a similar outfit.

For the antagonist, a black hoodies and trousers will be used because black connotes danger and death, therefore will conform to the genres we are using. The characters face won' be shown as this will create suspense and mystery in our film opening, which is stereotypical of the genre, and we want  to keep his identity hidden.
