Final Costume Decisions

We decided on our final costumes in order to reflect the personalities of our two characters - the blonde haired character is wearing a white t-shirt in order to connote that he represents lightness and morality, as opposed to the brown haired character who is wearing all-black in order to present him as sinister. In addition to this, the gloves being worn by the character dressed in black connote that he is undertaking some mischievous business, as these style of glove are usually associated with biker gangs.

We have continued the theme of pyjamas for our main protagonist because it shows that he is completely out of place in his environment. Pyjamas also connect with the idea that he is waking up and is in a recurring dream.

The white t-shirt connotes innocence whilst the pyjama bottoms pay homage to Donnie Darko, an inspiration for our main characters costume.

For our secondary character, the antagonist, the outfit will consist much more of black attire. This is because he is 'evil' and is out to get our protagonist. Everything is going to be black, so our decision is to have a black t-shirt, black leather jacket and black jeans. An important part of the outfit is the black gloves to make the whole outfit more sinister.

This is a close example of what we want our antagonist to look like but with a black t-shirt. The black t-shirt will be worn underneath the leather jacket to complete the outfit.

These outfits are embodiments of the light and dark characters and the colours which represent them. This also makes the narrative clearer and shows character construction.
