Costumes

Whilst deciding on a costume for our main character we wanted a distinctive item of clothing that the audience can make a connection between that and the main character so that she is always recognised throughout the face pace trailer. By doing this it also demonstrates how she is becoming very focused on the disappearance of her daughter that she begins to lack self care.
The item of clothing we chose was a pink trench coat - a trench coat is also a popular item of clothing, this will make her relatable to the audience, realising that this could happen to anyone, making the plot more terrifying.

The colour pink of this trench coat suggests innocence and purity - these are important qualities we wanted to display from our main character, this makes her a likeable character that the audience will empathise with and root for. Pink also represents femininity and love - reflecting the mothers love for her missing daughter. Another important factor of this coat is the adult, grown up and sensible sense it portrays, this is key as throughout our production we have made it prominent that she is a young mother who others find irresponsible and blame for her daughters disappearance - this is another factor that helps contrast that view.

For the little girl we decided to have her wearing a red head bow and a green coat. We decided upon these two items as it hugely displays her innocence and youth - the bow reminds the audience the youth of the character and also gives her the likeability and cuteness factor that will make them sympathise for her and hope for her appearance. The colour of the coat links to nature and purity that once again shows innocence, whilst deciding upon a costume for the daughter it was really important we portrayed qualities that continued to reflect her youth and innocence to make the plot more tense for the audience as they root for her to be found.
