Costumes

Various forms of clothing will feature in the trailer to match the different environments the characters are in.

School Uniform
This will be used for the flashback section of the trailer. School uniform symbolises innocence because children wear it, but to see it being linked to a future serial killer is a very shocking. Young children are seen as playful, fun loving humans but my character will be the opposite. He will not talk, remain despondent and will make him seem almost soulless. This will be a dominant reading as the director will want the audience to view the child in a certain way, one of an evil child, like the devil’s son.

The child will be smartly dressed because as being a social outcast he will not know much about fashion. He will have gelled straight hair to reflect his bland personality. This photo from the 1960’s film the ‘Village of the Damned’ where young child can read the minds of the adults in the village. Their look, being smartly dressed and having straight hair will be the inspiration for my flashback scene where the young boy stands in the corridor all by himself.

Casual Attire
Some of the victims will be wearing jeans because they can you warm and are thick to prevent trees and nettles from cutting and stinging them.

Camouflage
This costume is for the killer; it will make him much harder to stop and will allow him to blend in with the environment which will allow him to jump out on unsuspecting victims. Fear in the unknown is resonant through his clothing; he will be able to track and spy on them with ease because in the season of autumn the leaves allow him to match the surroundings.
