Character 2 (Costume)

This is our main character, Robyn, who is playing the young girl being hit by a car. The look of the young girl, we thought, should be more realistic. Dressing her in the white dress/nightie shows how she is innocent and the colour again denotes innocence, peace, brightness and realism. However the way it is now ripped and covered in the fake blood shows the complete opposite - once she is hit by the car. We thought that our main character should be young as it creates more of a haunting effect on the audience.
Realistically the girl, you would immediately assume, looks sweet, innocent and kind with her long curly hair however, the image we are creating for the audience is daunting and is something you would not want to see. Although, just from seeing the first half of our opening, the girl doesn't play a huge part as she is first shown lying on the floor after being hit by the car. Further on, she comes back to life to haunt the man which creates the horror which in link is what we plan to do as our genre is horror and typical conventions are for the audience to be scared and on the edge of there seats. The second image on here is the bottom half of the girl which again shows the cuts and scars she got after the car hit her. 

Most importantly, we are able to see the young girls shoes which typically denote a young school girl with the polished black colour. The mis-en-scene of the character is very important as it portrays either a positive or negative image. And there are many parts of the costume which denote different things again putting that positive or negative image into the audiences perspective. The rips on the white dress show torture and as if someone has purposely done that which further more could foreshadow what we would see throughout the whole film. These little things can foreshadow further events or alternatively, give different interpretations to the audience as it would make them think about, 'how she got there?' 'what happened?'.
