Use of costume in our thriller

There are two main actors in our thriller movie: Lucifer (antagonist) and Lily (protagonist). Costume plays an important part in our thriller as it define's the characters' personalities and sets the scene to give an idea of the sort of environment they are in. It conveys as an important element for mise en scene. The costumes are both 'work clothes' so we needed to use smart clothing, to depict an idea that the two characters are part of a working environment.
Lucifer's costume:
- Black trousers
- White shirt
- Black tie
- Black jumper
- Black shoes.
We used smart officewear so that he would blend into a an office-working environment. We also used this smart clothing (tie) to show he has a slight OCD over his appearance. The clothes emphasized a neat and tidy look. His costume also lacks colour and is mainly black to show that he is quite a mysterious and quiet character.

Lily's costume:
-Black trousers
-White shirt
- Black boots
- Grey blazer
- Black bag.
Again we used smart clothing to show that Lily too, is part of a working environment. It also shows that these two characters work for the same company. Lily's costume gave her a sophisticated look.

So costume definately plays an important role in our thriller, and we hope that this will define the characters and help to present the storyline clearly and effectively.
