Costume Evaluation

After conducting our audience research and discovering that our target audience prefer modern thrillers we decided to try and choose an actress similar to those in modern thrillers, so we recruted an actress who looks similar to Uma Thruman. In the end we decided on the costume, worn by our actress, for a number of reasons. As our actress has blonde hair we decided to dress her completely in black to cause a strong contrast, making her hair look even lighter next to the dark clothing. The light hair gives her an innocent look which gives her a certain irony. If closely insepected the black jacket has a faint grey criss cross pattern which gives a cage like appearance. Making it almost as is she is encaptured within the black of the coat and with black being a colour associated with evil, it gives her a dark look. This connotes that she is a good person but she is trapped inside an evil world, causing her do evil things, such as stealing this suitcase.
