Costume analysis:

In our opening scene we dressed our characters in specific outfits to give the appropriate effect but also conform to their character type.


Tara our protagonist (Portrayed by Nadiye Killick) 
For filming we decided to dress Nadiye in walking boots to show the audience she is walking her dog and a hoodie and coat to show the weather is quite gloomy and cold. The colours compared to our antagonist are quite bright and vibrant contrasting the two different characters. The prop for Nadiye is her dog, Jasper. It positions the audience to understand the setting and what she is doing when we show her in our opening scene. Her costume also looks quite relaxed to imply she isn't going anywhere in particular just on a casual walk with her dog.




Rosemary our antagonist (Portaged by Chloe Bennett)
For filming we decided to dress Chloe in all black, including shoes, jacket, top, jeans, mask and makeup. This connoted horror and scare which positions the audience to see her as the 'Bad guy' and suspicious character.  Her outfit is effective in introducing the thriller genre/theme in our opening sequence. She comes across as mysterious, confusing and threatening throughout. It immediately comes across as frightening and doubtful. I believe Chloe dressed perfectly in representing the protagonist as the dark colours look eerie and spine-chilling.






Ellie, Tara's good friend (Portrayed by Mae Fisher)
For filming we decided to dress Mae casually, however in black to also make the audience feel she could be involved with the disappearance of Tara. Mae wore a watch throughout filming to show that she was checking the time a lot which is important in our opening scene. Mae wore a Khaki puffer jacket which connoted cold, gloomy weather. Mae dressed quite casual to show the audience she was only going to meet her friend and they weren't going anywhere fancy. Mae also showed her phone a lot in filming to let you see what is happening at all times.




Bella, Rosemarys partner (Portrayed By Katy Welch)
For filming we decided to dress Katy casually, to represent innocence and casual activities. She wore black jeans, colourful patterned top and a tartan red jacket. We wanted her to appear to the audience as innocent and that friend who is caring and kind. However at the end of the opening scene you  see her in a completely different light and understand her evil twisted character. Her personality isn't presented through what she is wearing as she doesn't look scary, when actually she was behind the murder all along.
