Costume ideas

The characters we are going to need for our trailer:

3 policemen

3 bad guys

A family (A mum, a dad - the protagonist and a daughter - whom gets abducted.)

Court members

The police

We want our policemen to look as realistic as possible, however, we would not be able to completely recreate outfits similar to the one the man is wearing on the left due to it being to expensive. To make the police outfits realistic we want the costumes to be as similar as possible to the one on the left, we would want the police characters to be dressed in black trousers, smart shirts and black shoes. Ideally we would also want ties and hats. For the props we could get fake guns and handcuffs and passports could be used as police identification.

 

The bad guys

We would like the bad guys to be dressed in casual clothing such as jeans and tops. Although, for some shots where they are carrying out acts of violence then balaclavas and dark clothing will be useful. Also, where we want them to seem intimidating leather jackets and black clothing would also be useful in order to conform to stereotypes of the bad characters in films.



The Mum

We want the mum to be dressed in everyday clothes in order to make her seem like a normal person in society and making her a more relatable character. We would also like her to be wearing colours like pink/purple as they suggest vulnerability.

 

The dad

The Dad is a lawyer so for our scenes in the trailer we want him to be dressed in a suit and use a briefcase as a prop. Although, he wouldn't necessarily be in a suit throughout our whole film it is the only costume we need for our trailer.



 

The daughter

We want the character of the daughter to be dressed in typical children clothes to make it as realistic as possible. We could also focus on colours such as pink and purple in order to promote her vulnerability.

 

Members of court

For the people who would be in the court scene we want them to look smart and presentable to make the scene look as realistic as possible. We would like the men to be in suits whilst the women could be in pencil skirts and shirts.
