Costume & Props Choice

The costume decisions were very simple, each costume represents the role of the character in my opening sequence and also relates heavily to the social group that they are representing. 

The character of Daisy will be wearing a white top, as the colour white has typical connotations of innocence and purity which it is essential in the portrayal as the victim. For trousers, I have decided that she should wear skinny jeans (as pictured below), this helps to represent the social group of teenagers as it is a typical item of clothing that they would wear, it also shows the normality of Daisy and suggests that it could happen to anyone. 





















For the abductor, I have chosen a plain black hoodie, which of course carries the connotations of danger and mystery. Once again, he is wearing everyday normal jeans, to once again to indicate that anyone has the potential to be this character and no-one really knows anything people that you might encounter in day to day life. He is also unshaven, indicating a careless and on the edge lifestyle. 

Finally, for the newsreader I have chosen a simple suit that he would traditionally wear for reading the news. This will contrast the costume of the abductor representing to completely different styles of life - the high repectable end of society to the low end criminals of society.
