The document describes costume choices for characters in a film. Ed, the leader, will wear all black including a balaclava, suit jacket, trousers, and shoes to appear powerful and smart. Ben and Tom, followers of Ed, will also wear black balaclavas, jackets, jeans and trainers to appear mysterious but practical, with Ben carrying a baseball bat and Tom a bat. Alex, a separate character, will wear a green jacket and trousers to appear passive, with orange soled shoes and a bag representing his potential aggression.

1. Costumes/Props
Ed (Hooded character 1)
We have chosen for Ed to wear a black
balaclava, so as to hide his identity, and
create mystery and suspense.
We have chosen for Ed to wear a black
suit jacket, what this will do is keep him
in theme with the other bad characters,
but it will show to the audience that he is
the leader, and so, powerful one.
We have chosen for Ed to wear black
trousers, what this will do is keeping him
in theme with the other bad characters,
but it will show to the audience that he is
the leader, as it will help show him as the
smart one.
Once again the black theme is carried on
with the shoes being worn, but they also
help show him as smart and hence, the
leader of the group.
This will be the phone that we use in the
opening sequence.

2. Ben (Hooded character 2)
We have chosen for Ben to wear a black
balaclava, so as to hide his identity, and create
mystery and suspense.
Ben will wear a black leather jacket, and this
will show that as well as being secretive and
mysterious (connotations of the colour black),
that he is also very practical in his work, unlike
Ed.
By wearing black jeans, this shows that Ben
does not care so much about his appearance,
and is more practical and hands on than Ed.
With Ben wearing black trainers, it still shows
his mysterious, and also shows that he does
what Ed tells him to, as his shoes are more
practical for physical duties.
By Ben carrying a baseball bat, this shows that
he is a very dangerous man, as Knives are
often associated with extreme violence
amongst criminals.

3. Tom (Hooded character 3)
We have chosen for Tom to wear a black buff, so as
to hide his identity, and create mystery and
suspense, but also separate him from his ‘friends’.
Like Ben this jacket is designed to create mystery,
but also connotes the practicality of tom and what he
does.
By wearing black jeans, this shows that Tomes not
care so much about his appearance, and is more
practical and hands on than Ed.
With Ben wearing black trainers, it still shows his
mysterious, and also shows that he does what Ed
tells him to, as his shoes are more practical for
physical duties.
By Tom carrying a baseball bat, this shows that he is
a very dangerous man, as baseball bats are often
associated with extreme violence amongst criminals.

4. Alex (Alex)
By using the colour green with this jacket, it shows
Alex to be a fairly passive person.
Green is also used for Alex’s trousers to show his
passive and un-violent behaviour.
The shoes that he wears are just a pair of normal
shoes, but they have orange soles, which could
connote his aggressive side. But when Alex takes
them off in his home, this could show his increased
vulnerability.
This could also apply to Alex’s bag as it could
connote his aggressive side, and when he takes it off it
could show his increased vulnerability.
