R+P Post 17: Our planned costumes, hair and make-up

For our main characters costume we took inspiration from Mr.Robot. We liked his look as it was quite casual and centred around dark colours, primarily black. This connoted that our character wanted to stay low and seem unnoticed. To create this look we used a black hoodie, a pair of black skinny jeans and black trainers. This theme of black clothing from head to toe worked well. The hood was put up for some scenes which added to this theme of him trying to go unnoticed.

For the criminal organisation characters we wanted them to have uniforms. The organisation was split into two segments in our sequence. The group that was following our main character and the group that was tracking our main character from the HQ. For the group back at HQ we took inspiration from Men in Black. We wanted a professional, slick and efficient vibe. In order to do this we dressed the actors in suits. This coupled well with the setting giving off a really good look.

For the group that was following our main character we needed a more casual look but still wanted a "uniform" among the actors. In order to do this we dressed them in white t shirts and black jeans. Having all of the actors in the same clothing helped the audience immediately realise they are part of the same group. Having this as the costume was also extremely convenient as it was a costume that all of the actors already possessed.
