Costume ideas

 Costume

 

 

Looking at ideas for costume is a big factor for a trailer. It contributes a lot to helping in letting the audience know the genre of the film.

For the film noir style, we needed some costume to connote noir.

 

Main protagonist- Our main character should be wearing a dark suit, with equally a quite dark trench coat, this will fit the noir theme as it's dark but also a suit and the trench coat are classic mise-en-scene conventions of film noir. He could also wear a fedora, although this possibly could not work as our trailer is meant to be a modern film noir where as the fedora may make it look like an old version from the 50's etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Femme Fatale- Our femme fatale should be wearing a dark dress, to help suggest the evil and danger but contrasting this wearing red lipstick which is a typicall convention. This again connotes evil and danger to the audience. We want her to have long and big hair. Joined with this to be wearing a dark brown fur coat. This suggest that she is elegant and we want her to maybe be a bit stuck up, but also helping suggest she gets what she wants and has the power.
