Costume Research



There are only two characters in our film so the costume research didn't take us too long. We wanted to create the atmosphere of innocence and evil so by using binary opposition and dressing our charcters in opposite colours we were able to create the atmosphere we wanted.

Charlotte is playing a young girl who is very innocent hence why we wanted her to wear light colours (her white t-shirt) and girly clothing (her pink cardigan).

Gregg is an older teenage boy who is a stalker and a werewolf so obviously we wanted him in dark clothing to represent evil but we wanted to keep the representation of teens so we dressed him in a black hoody.









As shown here, Twilight uses the same binary opposition by dressing Bella in light clothes to show her innocence and vulnerability whereas Edward is dressed in dark clothing to show he has a dark secret and that he is dangerous.
