Costumes

Adam
We have Adam in a completely black costume. It coveres his whole body including his face. This creates an element of fear into the already bleak atmosphere. When you cover someones face then you cannot see their expression and thus making their emotion unknown. This can appear as idimitating as you cannot engage properly with them. The masked face is a common feature in a horror/thriller films to create a sense of mystery. This is what we were trying to do with Adam. It was interesting however to play with idea as the supposed killer ends up being the defeated which changes things. It keeps the mystery of who this man but it removes the fear as the masked man has been murdered. We took our inspiration for this costume from Scream.



Liv
For Liv at the beginning of our film we have her in a cosy pink top. This is to show her as cute and vulnerable which conforms with most female horror film victims. It also helped that Liv is blonde which also conforms with the classic 'slasher' victim. We have her in this outfit to perswade the audience to believe she is helpless and innocent. It makes her character appear sweetly niave. However after she fires the gunshot we have her in a black hoodie and leather jacket. This is an idea from the film Domino starring Keira Knightly as an assasin. These clothes show her to be dominant and strong but also mysterious, especially now the audience is left wandering why she had a gun and how she managed to escpape her murder.
