Costume


Most of the costume within the film is limited to the wardrobe of the cast, as I do not have the money to provide clothes for them. As the characters should be extensions of themselves, this is not a huge issue and I have told them to wear clothes that they feel would fit the situation. There is however a costume I need to create, the Killer's. Early designs (shown here) showed the killer in bandages, with a hat and a coat, as he is inspired by the painting "The Murderer" by Edvard Munch. Luckily, both me and Joe found most of these items already in our house, and Joe is of a similar size to Adam, so the items of clothing fit him.

The bandages are simple bandages for home use, and are dyed green with Dylon "Amazon Green" as the process involves salt and a washing machine, so it is easy to pull off. I put the dye and the salt in the washing machine and they were dyed. Once dried, we got Adam in to see how he looked and if he needed anything else. We were satisfied with result as the bandages completely obscure his face and he does look similar to the original drawing as well as the sketches of the killer in the design phases.
