Costume is very important in film as it sets the mood and time period. Certain colours are associated with thrillers such as red- that could represent blood, danger, strength and power. We knew that we would be filming in a red room ,therefore the white would stand out and the different meanings would group together.
For the thriller we had a young girl- itself representing innocence and purity, to emphasise this innocence and purity we decided to put her in a white dress. We found the dress in a store called 'select' (in the sale!) for £9. This dress worked well on the main character as she was younger and it had a young look to it, and wasn't too revealing. The colour white is know to show "light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity" which is all the aspects we wanted the audience to think about the character on screen.
A lot can be suggested from a costume like the characters personalities, what they might be like in the film, and their class status. A costume couldn't be too over the top or elaborate as it may take the focus away and be unbelievable to the audience. it will have to be expected to if not, there must be a reason why it is not the normal look.
This is the final look of our main character in the white dress:
