Marie’s costume:

Marie is not going to be the final girl she needs to be established as the victim opposed to Stacey who will be the final girl. Marie is going to a party and we have put a shot of an alcohol bottle in one shot this establishes that she is not innocent because of this I feel we need to dress her in clothes that suggest this without being to over the top.

As we want to represent the teenagers to be good, although Marie is slightly more rebellious we don’t want to establish the teenagers in our film as rebellious. Due to this we decided although it is a party we do not want to dress Marie in clothes that make her look promiscuous,  a red coat to go over the top of Marie’s clothing looks casual and realistic as she will be walking to the party. The colour red also indicates blood, romance and femininity which we want to be a sharp contrast to Stacey who will be wearing white to connote her pureness.

Leggings are common clothing staple for many teenagers and they also are quite glamorous, these make Marie look confident as this type of clothing is tight but also she doesn’t look over the top against her peers.  

      

A black vest top is also a staple in any teenager’s wardrobe, it is dark so it suggests Marie is slightly dark that she has a dark streak, it also connotes death as this is the colour that people were at funerals traditionally. The vest top is also revealing of the shoulders which suggests Marie’s need for attention as she want people to notice her. This top matches her leggings and will look like she is going out rather than just staying in.

High heeled shoes are common in party clothing, they are slightly promiscuous and will connote that Marie is slightly more rebellious than her peers.

We are not yet sure if we are going to include what Stacey is wearing, if there is no shot of her outfit we have decided that she will type to Marie a description of her outfit e.g. a white dress. If we do decide on including a shot we are going to have her dressed in an outfit like this:

This white dress is floaty and white; white suggests purity which is what we want for Stacey as she will be the final girl and conventionally the final girl will be virginal and innocent.

Blue denim jeans are a common item for any teenage boy, we do not want to make the boyfriend appears suspicious as we want to rule him out as a suspect immediately but still have an element of did he have do it? Involved.

This t shirt is similar to one we are going to use as it is generic of a male’s casual clothing and is also young and fashionable so it will suit our character of Marie’s boyfriend; the t-shirt suggests a sort of rebellious party boy he suits Marie as it is suggestive of her rebellious nature also.

These trainers are generic and a standard item of footwear for trainers this doesn’t suggest that the person wearing them is sporty as many teenagers do still wear these as a fashion item.

This is the killer’s watch that will signify him and can bring in other characters as suspects of the killing. The killer will wear this watch however many characters will also have this watch as it is popular amongst young people and doesn’t look to out of place against general clothing.

This dark black cloak is vital in masking the villains identity it also puts the audience on edge and it makes them feel insecure as not knowing who they are looking at creates an enigma.  A cloak is stereotypical of vampires and villains such as the grim reaper which signifies death; Dracula (1939) is an example of a horror film which uses a cloak.
