Costume

Our first and main aspect to consider with the costumes is the clown. We all decided that we need to use a full suit for the clown in case we use any long shots or tilts that feature the clown. Whether we will use a mask or make up for the face of the clown has yet to be decided, although the use of a mask will look more realistic. For our lead character we have concluded that we will dress him in a suit, but change the colour of his tie and/or shirt to distinguish between the individual days of the narrative. This creates suggests that the lead character is perhaps a businessman or something similar which is what we are trying to portray as it seems out of place for a businessman to be at the seaside, also adding to the unsettling nature of the narrative. As a group we opted for the two attackers to be dressed in brightly coloured clothes as this is against the stereotypical view of a person who would attack someone. We will use the medium of costume to reiterate the narrative point of our short film
