The document describes the costumes for three characters in a thriller film: the detective, the detective's partner, and a victim. The detective wears all black clothing to represent their mysterious and introverted personality, including a fedora hat which is a common detective trope. The partner wears a black long coat, red shirt, black jeans, and white bow tie to contrast with the detective through use of color and symbolism. The victim's costume is meant to look casual and not draw attention, so the audience feels sympathy rather than questioning their personality.

3. The dark clothing represents the character’s personality where the detective is quite
mysterious and introverted. Also, it includes the generic conventions of a thriller e.g the hat is
quite common for detectives (Sherlock Holmes).
The trainers is put in brackets because it’s not going to be a part of this character’s usual
clothing and is going to be used for another scene for this character but the scene would only
include the bottom half of the character to fit our synopsis for the film opening.
The detective’s costume:
Black trousers
Black boots
Black gloves
(Trainers)
Fedora
Long coat

4. The detective's partner (Shane Allen):
Clothing:
Long coat (Black)
Red or burgundy shirt
Black jeans
Trainers (Black and white converse)
Accessories:
Bow tie (white)
Glasses (maybe)
The detective’s partner (Shane Allen) clothing would be contrast against detective Emma Lee
where he would have colour in his wardrobe. He will be wearing red, white and black to
symbolising the conventions of a thriller. The black (jeans and coat)represents the mystery in
this thriller, the red symbolises blood which links to danger and the white is to represent the
truth/ purity and symbolising hope.

5. For this character, the clothing would be casual and look very victimized so, nothing special or
anything that would make this character stand out so that the audience don’t question this
character or inquire about the personality as this character doesn’t play a huge role. The
audience should only feel remorse and sympathy.
The victim’s costume:
Check/tartan shirt
Jacket
Jeans
Trainers
