Costume

Costume
We had to think about the characters costume for the filming as we needed it to be appropriate for the mood we wanted to create for the scene. From looking at other thriller openings, we concluded that the majority of characters wore dark/neutral coloured clothing to suit the atmosphere. Therefore because we was filming in a graveyard which naturally conveys the colours grey, brown, dark green, black,etc, we decided to similarly use 'gloomy' coloured costumes in order to compliment the scenery.We also had to think about how the costumes would play a part in the planning of the story. For example, the male puts a piece of paper in his pocket of his coat which he later gives to the female character, and so it was essential that the male character had a coat with a pocket. Therefore we used:

(Male Character) - Dark trousers, long black trench coat with pockets.
(Female Character) - Dark grey jeans, grey coat.
