Costume for the characters

Ideally, the character of Grace is going to wear clothing which may insinuate ignorance, but overall, normality. Charlotte ( our main actor) wears green slim fit trousers, a cream jacket and hiking boots, which are suitable for her photographer career ( it is apparent that this is her profession during the shots). Also, such practical items could suggest she intentionally ventured to the marshes in order to take new photographs. In addition, the jacket defines the season as winter which supports the idea of coldness and shock. Above all however, these pieces signify youth, as they are costume pieces a young adult would wear- adding to the fear of what Grace's outcome will be in relation to her age, and therefore, innocence.
 
In comparison, the antagonist ( Lizzie) will wear dark, haunting clothing pieces which emphasize danger. In fact, the items could be similar but only vary within their colour, which insinuates other storyline elements or as an act of dramatic symbolism between their differences. Using red lipstick would too introduce a subtle reference to Film Noir.

  1. Well done for posting planning costume and referencing the link between the protagonist's costume and her occupation. Try to add any references to a specific lifestyle, film, TV dramas that use a similar dress code. Your costumes indicates one character who enjoys an active outdoor lifestyle, whilst the more elegant black jacket, boots and lipstick suggests a character who is less enthusiastic about the outdoors!!!
