Costume

The costume that we intend to use for the characters in our film is a smart, formal dress... Yet we want it to appear in a modern way (for example suits, briefcases, overcoats and expensive jewellery in some cases). We decided on this as we feel this portrays our characters as being fairly 'well-off', high up in society and important.








We aim to make Joules appear as a businessman by having him dressed in a suit and tie whilst carrying the distinctive signifier that is the briefcase, to add to his cocky, confident character image.

Christian will also have a very similar dress, but also possibly some rings and a flashy watch to clearly establish his wealth and importance in his particular business, possibly a cigar on-the-go too could also give connotations of the kind of character we are trying to achieve!

For the female character, Isabella, we wanted to portray and give connotations of a rather femme fatale image for her character. We plan on doing this by dressing her in modern, sleek clothing such as a tight skirt, shirt, long winter jacket with a fur trim and also ankle boots to complete the image. Her costumes reflects her well off, high social status and also clearly shows off her personal importance to look good, and how much she values her looks.

. These would give connotations of her being, and make her seem as though, she is street-smart and dangerous. Make-up such as deep red lipstick is also vital in creating the right kind of image of a femme fatale, which will be used.

Our inspiration for this kind of costume in our film was from watching other well-known thriller films where we feel the costume has looked good and worked really well in creating the kind of image that fits the characters. Our costume can be linked back to initial films we looked at such as Pulp Fiction, Casino Royale and Reservoir Dogs. It is the kind of effect that the costume gave in these films, that we want to recreate with our characters in our own film! All of these films have male leads who are ingaged in criminal activites, are powerful, street wise, flashy and smartly dressed - they are in control, which is exactly what we aim to recreate!
