Costume

Embedded here is a collage of the clothes that we are planning for our main character to wear when we film our horror. I have created this using a website called Polyvore, to denote what group member Amy will wear during filming. 

We chose for her to wear a costume that accurately represents her conventionally as a young teenage girl. The clothes are all dark, as this connotes that the the character is not going somewhere safe, as darkness is associated with danger. 

Also the clothing in itself is typical conventional for teenagers, for example, leggings are often seen on teenagers and therefore leggings are some iconography related to teenage girls.

The clothes are however, quite practical, which suggests that should our character come across danger she will be able to put up some kind of defence. This subverts stereotypes, as usually females in horror films are dressed impractically, which adds to the idea that they are a 'Damsel in Distress' and they need to be saved. As our character is not represented as though she is particularly vulnerable, this may create an enigma, as the audience are unsure as to whether this will be a stereotypical horror film, making our horror more enticing.
