Task 8 Casting: Costumes

We have four costumes in our opening sequence, two for Subject: X and one each for the doctor and the chaser. We have based each costume around the role of each individual as it will generate a new level of depth to the product that we wouldn't achieve without planned costumes.

Subject: X is wearing mostly grey clothing and this is to suit their spy-like role and also reflect on their personality. They are neither good nor evil which is represented in the colour of their clothing and it also shows that they are willing do evil as well as good. The clothing is also relatively tight fitting and looks like something a spy/action hero would wear and it shows off their physique.

The second costume worn by Subject: X is similar to the first except we have removed the shoes and the jumper. This is because they are in a hospital bed and are now wrapped in bandages after being shot, we need to do this to follow the narrative of the film and to make the second scene as authentic as possible.

The chaser is wearing all black and has a logo of the evil organisation that they work for on their shirt. The reason behind this is because the chaser is filled with nothing but hate and pure evil and the colour black connotes this extremely well. I know this from my extended knowledge and further research from looking at films like 'Star Wars' where the antagonist is always in black. The chasers clothes also highlight their well built stature and add to the intimidation factor that comes across from that character.

The Doctor is wearing a burgundy jumper with a 'leather' patch on it's shoulder. This represents militarisation and draws them away from the conventional look of a doctor, this is because they aren't an ordinary doctor. The doctor we have in mind is evil and twisted and doesn't mind experimenting upon his subjects. The doctor is also wearing normal, dark blue jeans. This is so they're hard to identify away from their life of evil and crime but also shows how any ordinary member of the public can be deranged in such ways.
