Planning Actors and Costume

Ronnie 

Costume




I have chosen for Ronnie to wear dark colours. The dark colours are symbolic of character as they will make him look more mysterious, reinforcing my narrative and plot twist which leads the audience to believe he is the antagonist. Ronnie also inherits the look of a modern Goth, referring to the typical traits of a horror genre being relatively Gothic. Most importantly however, the clothes are modern and something that an audience member may wear. The converse are advertisement for product in my piece. 

Raine

Costume


I specifically chose for Raine to wear neutral colours, specifically green to tell the audience about the character. The colour green could represent envy; in my narrative Raine is not significant but a side character next to the side character Joy. This could be signifying Raine's jealousy for Joy as the popular more confident character. The colour green also connotes innocent as it is a primary colour, subsequently, it reinforces Raine's quiet nature. I chose for Raine to wear a dress for the same reason as it connotes innocent, especially the shape of the dress. It also shows that Raine is in fashion at the moment. The vans are advertisement for product in my piece. 

Joy

Costume



I intentionally chose for Joy to wear red, and have bright red hair to connote seduction. Red can be seen as a feminine colour due to its obvious link to menstruation it is associated with an adult women. Red can also be seen as seductive and appealing to the opposite sex. Similarly, Joy will wear a short black skirt to appeal to the male audience. The red hair mainly makes Joy stand out as both a character within the film and as an actress drawing focus on her signature red hair creating a sense of brand identity, and drawing in a wider audience, who are fans of the actress. The colour red also connotes bloody, typically seen in a horror film. Overall I wanted Joy to stand out as the main protagonist, thus, her costume is bright and contrasting with the other characters.
