This is my presentation I am explaining the costumes of the post-apocalyptic thriller title sequence. I will describe the costumes, and explain why they are such an essential feature of the mise-en-scene of the title sequence.
2. In the post-apocalyptic title sequence the costumes that will be very innovative and
original. This is because the tilt sequence is set in a time where the world has been
destroyed, and at the end of human civilization. Therefore such things like nuclear warfare,
zombie attacks, severe climate change and more will take place. This refers that the
characters must be clothes in garments that will relate back to the events taking place, and
the overall theme of the title sequence. Two of the characters will be wearing heavy armor
from protection from inhaling radiation. Such full face gas mask, usually gas mask like this
are used for special forces. As they are under going intense and dangerous atmosphere's.
The gas mask is usually presented in matt black and the eyes and mouth are exposed with
glass on top, so the person can breath and see. In general two of the characters in the title
sequence will be dressed in intimidating military clothing to emphasize and exaggerate the
emotions that are expressed. By doing this the audience will be left intrigued, due to the
fact they have been presented with the characters dressed in very eye catching costumes.
This means that the audience will be intrigued to see more of the title sequence, as the
costumes connote fear and harm therefore this foreshadows that disastrous events will
take place in the official film.
Also the rest of the characters will costumed in casual clothes, however the characters will
be presented that they are suffering from poverty. This is because the post-apocalyptic era
is an era with no human civilization, specifically within the title sequence people had no
choice but to put their money towards the war between the current war between England
and Europe, which has been going on for eight years. Therefore the residents are suffering
from severe poverty. Implying that these characters will dressed in casual clothes that will
be dirty, ripped, with a faint odor and more. Also the characters will have cuts and scabs
across their body as their clothes aren’t protecting them.
