1. Costume Code
• Our protagonist within our short film is a
teenage boy
• For our costume code, we are aiming to dress
him in stereotypical teenage male clothing
• The reason we are doing this, is to represent
the protagonist in a certain stereotype. This
way, the audience can relate to him very
quickly
• In horror films, there are usually teenagers
who play the protagonist with nothing special
about them, the costume we hope to use can
relate to a normal teenage boy who’s life is
normal, undisturbed and peaceful
• This way, the horror narrative can come as a
shock to the protagonist and his usual life
