Research for Females costume (Jo)

As we want to make sure our female character's costume is most authentic in showing she is a down to earth character with a mysterious, mental twist, we thought we would do some research in the choice of costume female characters wear in successful Thriller films.

The disappearance of Alice Creed

In the scene of the kidnapping in The disappearance of Alice Creed, the character Alice Creed is wearing smart clothing to imply she is a wealthy young women. The large pearl necklace and pink low cut shirt are significant pieces to show her femininity and provoke her womanly assets. As we want to steer away from pursuing our teenage actors, this would be a good outfit to upgrade in showing a young women.

              Inception

The main female character that is approached in Inception is seen mostly wearing clothing in a laid back manner with a slight hippie edge. I feel it suggests a teenager's approach in style which is not what we want to represent.

                                                                                                The lives of others

This is not a film I am familiar with personally, but I encountered it on IMDb. The women seen alongside the male character looks extremely highly classed by her pencil skirt put along with kitten heels and a white blouse. I believe she is some sort of business women. Compared to the other female characters i have established, I think she is an older women due to kitten heels mostly stereotyped towards older, higher classed women as i know young women steer away from the particularly low heels.

In conclusion, I think The female character in The disappearance of Alice Creed is the most suitable for our costume we want to achieve due to establishing a young, wealthy women. From this point we may vary in the styles and colours around this outfit. No dialogue will be said from either characters throughout filming so representation is entirely based on appearance and choice in actions.
