Planning- Costume
(Catherine)
Our protagonist and only character is an 18 year old male who has a deep rooted dark personality and is somewhat psychologically damaged. In order to reflect this through his appearance we have chosen dark clothing that would not draw attention to him in a public place. We also wanted to keep the character's costume a modern 2015 style which coveys the time our thriller is set.
A black long sleeved shirt
The color denotes strength and authority; it is considered a symbol of both evil and grief. The long sleeves were chosen over short sleeves as his arms may still be bloody from the murder and so he is intentionally trying to cover them up as he goes into a public setting. This is the only piece of clothing we will have to purchase for our actor as he doesn't own a black long sleeved t- shirt.
Black skinny Jeans
The color, again, is to reflect Franks's dark personality and evil nature. We chose skinny fitting jeans over baggy or flared jeans as this particular style conveys male teenag
fashion in this day and age. Our actor already owns a pair of black skinny jeans so there is no need for us to buy any.
The reasoning behind the use of Doc Martens is so that when the actor steps of broken glass frames he will not be injured as the shoe is sturdy and strong. The color will be black and there is no need for us to purchase the boots as the actor already owns them.
MAKE UP
The makeup for our character will be fairly simple and subtle. We do not want to obviously show the audience that our character is a murderer with a dirty and bloody face. Instead, we will apply pale foundation to his under eyes to reflect how long he has been awake trying to murder or conceal a body. We may also draw very small cuts on his face with a thin eye liner.
