Costume Research.

Costumes in a conventional horror film will be different to the type of costumes used in an action film. A villain for instance will wear clothing which enhance the look of the bad image they are wanting to have. A conventional horror film will have the villain dressed not to impress but to scare people and get them noticing that this villain is not someone to be messed about with.

Costumes enhance effects of the entire film, audiences expect the villain to be looking as a normal villain will look. People are expecting dull clothing, with colours such as black, Grey, brown and all other colours which are not bright. Costumes need to look different whilst in comparison to the victim

These are images which i have found of villains, Note that how the use of colour and style which can be seen on the villains costumes.

From the images I have added above, it is clearly showing the villain are dressed in dull colours, the costumes contain negative effects whilst looking at the character.

This research has concluded only to one result, and that is to dress the villain unattractive colours and coincidently look more of what a conventional villain will look like. The chosen costume for our villain is a black monk gown. The gown is in neutral coloured with no designs and is to look plain and simple and just send out the message of a bad villain to the audience.
