The costume we wanted to use for our shoot had to make the protagonist look mysterious to the audience. We don't want to give too much away to the audience about his history, there just needs to be a sense that there is a history and he is dangerous. The black jacket makes him look dark and doesn't show whether the character is good or evil. The character will also be wearing a white shirt and black trousers. This fits the conventions of Film Noir as we are consistently using blacks to portray the character.
The Killer will be unidentifiable by the audience because she will be wearing a black hat and that is all we see of her apart from the black gloves she will wear to hide her hands. Again, these will be black to portray that sense of mystery that will run in the film. The film doesn't give the audience any indication through the use of costume who is good or evil. The hat hides the killers face so we learn very little about her. However, because of her actions we learn that she too is a dangerous character which creates a sense of threat to the thriller.
The last item of clothing for the killer in our short film is a pair of black leather gloves. We have chosen these because it helps to hide their identity and doesn't give away the fact she is a woman. They also have a sense of creepiness about them as it makes the murder look more thought out and planned because using gloves will not leave fingerprints. The last point to make is that the gloves will help to suffocate the victim (Harry) rather than just using their hands.
