Costumes

Costumes are very important to our opening Thriller scene as they help create the characters. The way a character is dressed instantly gives the audience a view on what they think that particular character will act like.

The main character will be dressed in a very formal outfit, perhaps a suit. He also will check his phone at some point, the phone will be a very expensive phone like an iPhone or Blackberry which will help add to the character seeming intelligent and intellectual. This will make him seem very smart and will give the impression he is from a very business orientated background. This will be a huge contrast as in the scene he will be walking through the woods. This works so well as the woods are renowned in Thriller films for being a more dark mysterious place, which will then lead to almost confusing the audience instantly because of the contrast between a very smart man walking in a typical dark and mysterious woods.

The other characters that will appear in our opening scene are our kidnappers. They will be dressed in much more dark and alarming costumes. They will also perhaps be wearing some sort to clothing to cover their face, this will keep them seeming very dark and mysterious. The characters will be equipped with some sort of weapon simply to add to the level of violence they represent and how cautious the audience feel towards them.
