Costume Ideas.

My costume - the 'evil' friend.   Representating and stereotyping teenagers in modern life.                                                    

A kharki, military Jacket will be used to create enigma of the character because the jacket doesn't reveal the figure, making the audience question who this person is, as it completely hides them. Also, with this type of jacket, it will be oversized to cover as much of the body as we possibly can.The idea of multiple pockets could suggest to the audience that the character is criminalistic because it connotates that the character is a person to keep secrets, and be mysterious, and likes to keep things hidden. The jacket also challenges the stereotypical womens clothing, as the audience wouldn't suspect a woman under this manly but unisex jacket.

 The use of gloves is a generically used item, it creates the impression that they are committing a crime, and that they are consistant because they have prepared to keep them selves hidden. It also keeps the character enigmatic because there are no hands shown, making it difficult for the audience to identify who this mysterious character is. From researching I found that the enigmatic aspect of the thriller genre works best at creating suspence and tension so covering most of the body without making the character look too covered up will work very well.

The trainers allow the character to have a little normality, seeing as I will be playing a character of the same age, I thought it would be most appropriate to wear converse trainers to reflect modern teenagers to show the audience what age the character is, so they have the impact of shock when the crime happens. And seeing as the shoes are unisex, you are still able to hide the characters gender. Creating abstruseness.

Because blue jeans are so common and most archytypes where them, I thought that this was a clever way of creating more of a enigmatic appearance so that you can only relate to the character via the shoes. 

Rucksack also suggests the carrying of potential dangerous items, and you don't know what is concealed in the bag. It suggets this because in films such as 'The girl with the dragon tatoo' the main character also carrys around a rucksack where she hides her laptop in which she partakes in criminalistic actions on there. The aztec design could suggest to the audience that the character is corrupt and sharp thinking because of the patterns on the bag.
