A few main characters from Tod's costumes and makeup for our horror opening title sequence

1. The grey jumper may
symbolise sorrow.People who
favourgreycan be the lone wolf
type or narrow-minded. The grey
also connotes emptiness,lackof
movement,emotion,warmthand
identifyingcharacteristics.This
may scare the audience as
these connotations suggest
that this character could be
dangerous due to their
characteristics.

2. The black coat fits with the setting
as it is a cold evening. The colour
black connotes danger and doom.
This colour coat is also popular and
shows that the character is no
different from other people his age.
There are no defining features
which make him different from the
‘norm’ and therefore a wide
audience may feel scared because
they don’t know the reason that
this person was chosen as the
victim. It may be a reminder to
them that the antagonist should be
feared by many.
The blonde hair may relate to
the common stereotype of
‘dumb blondes’. The audience
may worry that this character
may struggle to make sensible
decisions and look out for
themselves. This may create
more fear.
Black jeans – casual
occasion, fashionable.

3. White top symbolises
purity and innocence.
This may make the
audience feel more
worry for the character
if they are portrayed as
already vulnerable.
Necklace shows a connection. This
may make the viewer feel like there
is a story behind the necklace as
jewellery usually has a history and
meaning.
The necklace is also symbolic as it
will give the audience clues as to
who could be linked to the murders.
The blood make up is
red. This connotes
warning and hopefully
will immediately attract
the audience’s
attention.
The blue jeans bring context
to the person’s life. They are
living in a modern time and
following the modern trends.
They are wearing everyday
common clothes that the
audience may wear. This may
evoke more fear as the
audience may relate and feel
under threat.
