Resit - Final Costume

As ultimately, the aim of our piece is to follow verisimilitude as closely as possible. These are the costume we used when filming. These are everyday pieces of clothing and this so the audience feel involved when watching it as they are aware of the style of clothes they are wearing. There is a clear contrast between Katie's and Annie's clothes. Annie's are bright, colourful and fashionable showing her position in society against Katie who is wearing plain, unfashionable clothes. The juxtapostition between the costumes show the juxtaposition between the characters, and are essentially an extension of their backgrounds.

We decided to use white as it connotes innocence. We are aiming to show that Katie is innocence and then her innocence is tainted when she kills Annie.



We wanted to use black jogging bottoms to show her poverty. With black connoting danger and secrets, this is fitting to Katie's character as conclusively, we see she is a dark character with dark motives.

We used dirty white trainers to connote her poverty. The fact they are dirty connotes to the audience her innoce had already been slightly spoiled. We chose trainers because the laces can connote the complexity of her character, even though the white connotes the innocence and purity she should have as a teenager.

We wanted Annie's t-shirt to be yellow. Yellow connotes brightness and we thought this would be fitting as it would be a juxtaposition to the action that is going on. Furthermore, in Scream (1996) the Protagonist is wearing yellow. She also has blonde hair which also Annie has. This shows her innocence and how her bright personality is dampened and ruined.



The jeans we used we leggings and this was to show her modern day clothes and how she fits within society.



We used white plimsolls to connote her innocence. The pink is used to connote the love between their relationship and how each are intertwined. When the blood lands on her shoes, we see how her death has ruined their relationship, and as white is a prominant theme - everybodies innocence.
