Costume: Coren Vincent



Coren Vincent is one of the only characters with two outfits changes (minus the brief clip of the party where the other characters will be shown in their 'party' outfits) though this may not be clear to audiences as the identity of the villain remains unclear to audiences. Coren's outfit includes what most headteachers will wear, suits. I selected a tan suit as I felt as though tan suits are more associated with older generations, therefore acting as a juxtaposition against the young generation of my other characters. Coren's second outfit is simply all black - jeans, hooded jacket and boots. This outfit will convey mysterious elements as black is a colour that is associated with evil and mystery and will therefore link with Coren's role as the villain within my film.

Percy's outfit (much like Billie's) I felt fitted his character perfectly. He is timid, bookworm and is very prime and proper. He also wears glasses like Veronica, but his glasses look much more like the old fashioned reading glasses. He wears a jumper with black chinos that will make Percy appear to be rather timid, the perfect student and a 'goody-two shoes', audiences who watch will immediately view Percy as someone who would follow the rules and perhaps and easy target.

Billie's outfit I believe suited her personality and character perfectly, it's about comfort rather than fashion, it shows she is laid back and has aspects of her alternative culture entwined with it also. She wears an almost 'lazy' shirt and has daring, dark eye make-up in order to make herself and her eyes stand out. I will not be using the exact same t-shirt as soon on this image but I will be using one of a similar style, oversized and ill fitting, also for Billie's outfit she will be rolling back the sleeves of her flannel shirt, which is the type of style that many alternative individuals in subcultures will also have.







For her makeup, I have the idea of Billie wearing dark and daring colours - winged eyeliner and plum coloured lipstick, a modern grunge look. In order to create Billie's makeup look, I watched at several tutorials on YouTube so to get an idea of what it will look like. For her hair, I found inspiration from tumblr of messy hairstyles and I found that messy plaits would be suitable for her personality and additionally be convenient for the actions that take place throughout the film.

Finn Lester's outfit exudes an aura of coolness, this outfit communicates clearly to my audience that he is a fashionable guy and will link with his popularity on the social ladder. He wears blue denim jeans and a cool black biker jacket, using this outfit on Finn may suggest to audiences that he is the main character (as white males tend to be the protagonist in films, especially within the thriller genre) but it will soon become clear to audiences that Finn is not the protagonist, nor does he lead the plot, but assists Veronica in restoring equilibrium.

Jessica's outfit was a lot more 'fashionable' and daring, showcasing Jessica's interest in mainstream culture. Though this outfit may prove to be inconvenient when running and fast pace action scenes through the trailer. Jessica's final outfit may be a little bit different from this idea as firstly I will not be purchasing the same products as it will be a little pricing, but I will be selecting products of a similar style which would be a skirt / dress in a skater style, boots, patterned tights, a white top and a pink MAC lipstick (which I do own) in order to create Jessica's fashionable look.




For Jessica's hair and makeup, I took inspiration from the character Daenerys Targaryen from the popular series Game Of Thrones. She has long and very pretty blonde hair and neutral and understated makeup (though I will be using pink lipstick for her character). The makeup tutorial above I will be using a guideline for her look, it's subtle yet stunning and gives indications for a particularly 'girly' character which of course she will visually look like, but Jessica's character herself will counter this stereotype.

I created a sort of mood board for Veronica's outfit. Veronica's outfit remains to be quite casual, with a 'superhero' vest top, black jeans and white converses. I also included her glasses as they are key to her character, glasses usually associated with nerd culture. Her casual look is also complete with a black beanie, which I believe would suit Veronica's character of the female protagonist and additionally her character. She carries a cross body bag, so in order to make it much easier to run with and go through action scenes with. Though these will not be the actual products I will use for Veronica's outfit, it gives an idea of what her outfit will look like pieced together.




For Veronica's character I wanted to keep her makeup simple and to a bare minimum, only really using eye makeup in order to capture audiences attention on the close-up image on the film's poster. Her hairstyle will also be a ponytail, simple but also convenient for her character who is mostly about comfort as opposed to what looks good.
