Possible Costumes

I found all of the images above on the Internet; this was to give me an idea of what possible costumes I need for my teaser trailer. For my female protagonist, I wanted her to look smart and professional yet stylish. So I decided to go for a monochrome look with a pencil skirt and white blouse – as this would be suitable for her job role. I also wanted minimal make up and a smart up-do with her hair.
The male lead needed to look casual and when he is tied up he needs to look dirty so I may make the white t-shirt look dirty and ripped so that the scene looks more realistic. He will look slightly smarter in the 3rd scene as that is before he is kidnapped. The effect of a white t-shirt is also to symbolise that he is a protagonist in the film.
The criminals in the teaser trailer needed to be dressed all in black symbolising that they are the antagonists. The ones that kidnap the man will be wearing balaclavas so that their identity can be kept a secret from both the man and the audience – and making them look scarier. The one in the room, who takes the woman, won’t have a mask and will be dressed slightly more smartly; this is so that he looks like the leader of the gang. He will also be wearing black gloves when he takes the woman so that the audience are aware that he is a bad guy.
The use of the costumes for the various characters should help to express Propp's character theory to the audience and so that they can have a better understand of what role each of the characters have.
