Planning - Costumes - Task 6

To comply with thriller conventions the first kidnapper will be wearing dark clothes with a big coat on to make him appear more muscular. He will also be wearing a balaclava that I have borrowed so that he can wear it to mask his identity. This is something that is very important to play the role of a kidnapper because the audience shouldn't know his identity to add to the mystery. 


The second kidnapper will be dressed in all black, which importantly contains a black jacket with a hood to conceal most of his face. Also a snood will be warn that I already own that covers the mouth and the lower nose area so similar to the other kidnapper only the eyes can be seen. This again is to add to the mystery surrounding the kidnapping which is a main feature of a thriller and one that we want to incorporate into our thriller. 


The final costume that has been selected will be warn by the innocent kidnap victim and will contain the black jeans and the grey hoodie. This is to try and pass him off as someone who is middle class and just an ordinary guy. This is important to the thriller because we want to create the idea that it isn't just upper class people who are kidnapped for ransom money, so as to trigger a more frightening response from the audience. The audience need to really make an emotional connection with this character which is why we have made him appeal to our target audience. These clothes are also typical of young adults who do like to watch thriller which we discovered from our target audience research.
